Tenille De Kock: This House Pt.17 :Why Church? Pt. 3: Hospital"Church as a Hospital": https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RHmsmHhIMxjZsn-Leaqx6sGC0Y1H4eZq/view?usp=sharing Biblical Foundation: The teaching is centered on Matthew 9:9-13, where Jesus eats with tax collectors and sinners, stating that the sick need a physician rather than the healthy.1 Jesus' Focus: Jesus prioritizes the condition of the heart and mercy over religious sacrifice, drawing from Hosea 6:6.2 The Church's Role: The church is presented as a "hospital" for emotional healing—a place where wounded people can come to be healed, acknowledging that everyone has different stories of wounding and needs healing.3 Obstacles to Healing: Administering Healing: Temptation to judge others instead of extending grace, or creating a church environment for "perfect people".4 Receiving Healing: Hiding or denying wounds, pride that refuses help, and the risk of transferring pain to others if it is not transformed.5 The Invitation: Take Ownership: Engaging curiosity about one's heart, asking God to reveal pride, and committing to the healing process.6 Extend Mercy: Choosing kindness and mercy toward others, recognizing that everyone is at a different stage of healing, and loving those in the city who live differently.
