The God Who Heals | Episode 9 | Discerning the Body

What does it truly mean to discern the Body of Christ, and why does it affect our health, relationships, and our walk with God?

In Episode 9 of "The God Who Heals," Duane Sheriff continues his teaching on Communion through Paul's warning in 1 Corinthians 11 that failing to discern the Lord's body can result in weakness, sickness, and even premature death. Discerning the body means more than recognizing Jesus' physical body, broken for our healing. It also means recognizing and honoring His Body, the believers who together make up the Church.

Although we are many members, together we are one Body with Christ as our Head. Strife, offense, bitterness, division, and dishonor toward other believers can hinder us from receiving what God has provided through His Body. Matthew 25 and Saul's encounter with Jesus in Acts 9 show that Jesus personally identified with His people. How we treat one another matters to Him. Discover why honoring, loving, and receiving from the Body of Christ is an important part of discerning the Lord's body and walking in His provision for healing.
