Family Service Sermon, The Rev. C. Alfred Loua: "What Spiritual Healing Looks Like"

“Jesus said to him ‘Be opened.’ And immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.” Today we are asked to consider the lesson in spiritual –not just physical– healing Jesus taught when he restored senses to a deaf and mute man. “His parents and loved ones tried to help him, but they couldn’t,” preaches the Rev. Alfred Loua. “Jesus was his last chance.” What does your spiritual blindness prevent you from talking about? The reading is Mark 7:31–37.
