Lazarus issue: https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190575437 Gough states on pg 122 that "Only good things come from God because He is absolute goodness. How then could sickness and other afflictions in the world originate with God, who is perfect goodness and perfect love?" In light of that statement, what do we do with the death of Lazarus that Jesus said was for God's glory?]]> 2021-02-11 04:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190575437 alecs1 https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190575730 We're to be bold in our prayers for healing, but is there a point in which we can we be too bold?]]> 2021-02-11 04:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190575730 Goff stated God does not cause sickness (pg 126); but in many places in the bible He caused plagues to break out https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190576050 2021-02-11 04:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190576050 Any thoughts on the 5 step model for praying for healing? Do any of you do step 4 (prayer engagement) on pg 132? Has anyone witnessed a miraculous healing for someone they prayed for? https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190577557 2021-02-11 04:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190577557 https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190578230 We read something similar in our other book last year (or a couple years ago when the world was like...a thing) about prayers of healing, praying in boldness, etc.; of course, there is discernment, but in terms of humble expectancy of what God CAN do, when do we cross the line in our prayers of faith..especially when what we want to happen doesn't? How do we help to navigate people through unanswered prayers or when they just simply aren't healed?

Alan Hirsch talks about the consumer-driven church. How might we self-assess ourselves (as church leaders) to ensure that we aren't walking down this road?]]> 2021-02-11 04:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190578428 https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190579133 If God's plan is to restore, why are some left unhealed? ]]> 2021-02-11 04:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190579133 alecs1 https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190581213 p. 137
Nick Gough talks about the importance of grounding ourselves in the Word and not just experiences. How do we increase our congregation's intake of the Bible?]]> 2021-02-11 04:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190581213 2. 5-step model for praying for the sick https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190582823 Gough uses Randy Clark's model and in the first step, the interview, asks a series of questions on page 130.  What is the purpose of asking the person coming forward for prayer, "How long have you had this condition?"

Chuck Smith quote:
Too much Word we dry up. Too much Spirit we blow up. Just enough Word and Spirit and we grow up. 
Where are we as a church regarding this and how might we know?]]> 2021-02-11 04:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190586532 https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190590450 On page 128, it writes “sickness does not come from God. It is the consequences of sin.”  Just curious to hear from others on how you would respond in explaining to someone that in regards to sickness is the consequences of sin. Hope that makes sense. ]]> 2021-02-11 04:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190590450 from my experience and understanding will be incredibly difficult for us to accomplish on a Sunday. What are your thoughts about creating a more Spirit led service, or even turning WC into a different experience for Sunday services? https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190594302 2021-02-11 04:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/alecs1/v42jyxilu97qziv6/wish/1190594302
