Misty Creek Community Church Sermons

This Sunday, we will continue our transformative journey into the heart of spiritual gifts, focusing on the Gifts of Healing. What if the miracle of healing isn't just a distant biblical story, but a vibrant reality in our lives today? This week I will explore the profound Gifts of Healing, emphasizing that God’s love and compassion manifest powerfully through various means. Drawing from Scripture and the wisdom of author, Steve Seamands, the sermon reveals that healing occurs supernaturally through prayer and divine intervention, but also through the diligent hands of doctors and the body's innate abilities. Healing can take many forms—sometimes as the grace to endure suffering rather than instant relief, and other times as a victorious transition into eternal life, transforming death into a doorway of healing. This holistic view of healing invites us all to expect God's presence and power in every circumstance of our lives. As members of the Misty Creek faith community, we are encouraged to actively seek healing, trust in God's sovereign methods, and acknowledge that every instance of restoration—whether miraculous or gradual—points back to His glory. We are called to be proactive in prayer and participation in healing, supporting one another in our journeys toward wholeness. Will you join us in this transformative pursuit of healing? I hope so!!   Grace and Peace, Stephen

We are reminded that these gifts are not limited to a select few but are available to all who seek them with a heart of obedience and humility. Join us as we delve into understanding and embracing these gifts, learning to serve God and others with the unique abilities He has given us.
