The Healthy Church

​Before His attentive listeners in Luke 4, Jesus took the scroll and began reading from Isaiah 61. He claimed these prophetical words for Himself. He announced that He had come to preach the Gospel to the poor; to heal the broken-hearted; to liberate those being held captive. He came to give sight to the blind; to release the downtrodden and to usher in a period of grace during which men and women might enter into a personal relationship with God Himself. Later Jesus reveals how His words are to be divinely accomplished  through the organism of His Church.
​Healthy is the operative word here. It’s so easy to focus upon the flaws and deficiencies of any local body of believers. But what is an authentic Christian life to look like in a corporate setting, according to this divine mandate?
​These messages focus upon the Lord Jesus Christ who, in contrast to organized religion, is the true foundation, the compassionate healer of souls.

The Healthy Church
​Through the power of His Holy Spirit, Christ’s Church is to be a place where prayer becomes effective, faithfulness is instilled, lost sheep are found, self-righteousness is exposed, forgiveness brings healing and restoration and where spiritual sight equips us to be ‘more than conquerors’. This is not a utopia but it is a biblical description of a healthy growing organism of flawed people called the Church.
