The Bible is clear that God’s desire is for us to live healthy, healed and whole — but how do we get there? When studying God’s Word, we see 3 clear pathways that each lead to the finish line of “healed” — so which one is YOUR pathway to health? And how do you know? 

Join me today for our Basics Tuesday Bible Study to discover your pathway to health, hear from the Holy Spirit and stir your faith. Hint: your pathway to health could be less “spiritual” than you think!

Many Christians have been taught that God afflicts us or chastens us or allows us to suffer with sickness and disease...but what does God (and His Word) say about that? And, for Christians today, what role does Jesus and the finished work of the cross play in this conversation? 

Let’s talk about it, discover the truth and learn how to live the way God intended for you to live — healthy, healed and whole — in today’s Basic Tuesday Bible study!

As we discuss Health & Healing in this Bible study series, you may have wondered before: what about Job in the Old Testament and all of the sickness and calamity he experienced? How does that fit in with God’s plan for our health and wholeness? Did God actually cause all of that to happen to Job? Or, did He really have to allow it to happen? — And why? 

This is one story in the Bible that many of us have gotten wrong — and it's so unfortunate because wrongly dividing the Word in this case has hindered many people from believing it is God's will to heal them. (By the way, God DOES want you healed!) 

We’re going to dive into it today and see what the Bible says about Job, look at the permissive vs. causative tenses in the Hebrew language and see how God's goodness made Job's story ultimately one of victory and triumph. What we uncover might surprise you!

The story of Paul’s thorn has traditionally been interpreted as a noble story of how God “used” sickness to humble Paul and teach him about grace, suffering and patience. But — is that the right view? Does that measure up to what we know to be true of God? 

Today, let’s take a closer look at what the Word of God says about Paul’s thorn and let the Bible (not the traditions of men) guide our beliefs!

Today we’re kicking off “Getting a Grip on the Basics of Health & Healing” for our NEW Basics Tuesday Bible Study series! 

The subject of divine health and healing is no small thing! Most people want to believe that God can and does heal people today, but there are so many questions, opinions, experiences and misconceptions about this subject.

That’s why, for the next few months, we are going to study what God says about your health and healing in HIS Word — the Bible. We are going to let the Bible teach us and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us! 

Every Tuesday, we’ll dig into God’s Word for answers to the big “what about” questions, look into God’s original plan for our health, talk about what Jesus did for us on the cross — and you'll learn how you can experience God's best for your health and wholeness now.

I love the fact that Jesus was a joyful person – and it turns out, He was the most joyful person of all! The Bible tells us because Jesus loved righteousness and despised evil, God anointed him with the oil of joy more than anyone else!

Here’s how The Passion Translation puts it, “…For this reason, God, your God, has anointed you and poured out the oil of bliss on you more than on any of your friends.” (Hebrews 1:9, TPT)

Here’s the best part. The joy Jesus had, He wants to give us! Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.” John 15:11

Want to live with this kind of joy? Today, let's talk about how to "Live It!"

Peter had some AMAZING experiences during his time on earth — he walked on water, he pulled a coin out of a fish's mouth to pay his taxes, he denied Jesus 3 times (and probably dealt with some stuff related to that)...but what did he write about in 1 and 2 Peter? The BASICS! 

“Therefore I will always remind you about these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.” 2 Peter 1:12

There's nothing more important to living out our faith than knowing the basics. Today, let's talk about how to "Live It!"
