‘We Should Freely Help Other People.’
Matthew 10:8.
There are three things that the Church should be giving to other people. These things have been freely given to the Church by the Lord and we should give them in various appropriate ways both practically and spiritually.
a) Healing.
b) Resurrection Life.
c) Freedom from Bondage.
