'Title: Does God Heal Today?
By: Tim Chilvers
Bible Reading: Acts Chapter 4, verses 13-22
Recorded: Sunday 26/01/2020 at our Moseley / Kings Heath Gathering.
Description: Part of our teaching series called '#AGAIN' looking at the early chapters in the book of Acts in the Bible. Our hope and prayer as we explore these studies together is that God would begin to awaken us to what he is doing and will do again. Maybe, just maybe, we might dare to see extraordinary things happen among us!

Have you ever felt utterly helpless? A situation when circumstances are completely out of your control, and you just have to hope that something, anything, happens to change those things and you can’t do anything about it. When we look at the ancient world, we easily forget that they lived lives that were largely out of their control. When illness came, or difficult times, there was often nothing they could do about it. They knew both what hope looked like, and what false hope felt like. They were desperate for rescue, and when con-artists offered healing (as they regularly did) they were hopeful, but sceptical. And so, when the early Christians started seeing genuine healing happen, everyone took notice. Questions were asked, and the evidence was undeniable. People began to see that there really was genuine hope, and that God really was at work.
