Sermon Questions
- How has God used disease and death in your life to strengthen your faith in God?
- Whom do we know who is sick or needing to be healed?
- What do these stories reveal about the interplay between fear and faith in a relationship with Jesus? How are fear and faith present in your own relationship with Christ?
