We usually think of hospitals is the place to go for physically sick or injured, and the church as the place for when we need spiritual healing and care. But the fact is, we pray for the sick and the insured in public worship and that says a lot about the connection between physical illness and spiritual well-being. We acknowledge that physical illness is a symptom of an underlying condition of this fallen world that we called sin.
Rev. Richard Willsea
Midweek Lenten Service, March 25
Being alone can be experienced either is loneliness or solitude. Loneliness is painful, solitude is peaceful. Loneliness cries out for healing. Solitude is the comfortable alone as it being at peace with oneself, and in the presence of God.
3rd Sunday in Lent, almost full service (includes sermon)
Recording stops at 59 minutes into the service, during the distribution of Holy Communion. The closing prayers and hymns were not recorded.
Faith should never be confused with feelings, faith is an objective relationship with God in Christ. It may be expressed in feelings, but feelings are not the substance of faith.
