Set Free to Stand Tall

Aug 24, 2025  •  The Rev. Charlie Holt

Healing on the Sabbath provokes a synagogue leader's objection, and Jesus answers that anyone would untie an ox or donkey to lead it to water. Why not free a daughter of Abraham? From this healing story the sermon calls the congregation to ask God for healing, to resist the devil as James urges, and to carry one another in prayer, noting a hospitalist's view that much physical illness has a spiritual side.
