Faith and Healing, Part 1

This sermon is the first of a two part sermon on the subject of faith and healing. In part 1 Gary Smith looks at several Old and New Testament examples of people who were sick and shows that some were healed and others were not. He ends the sermon with the question, "Does God always promise to answer our prayers for healing?" He tells us that question and others will be answered in part 2.
