Episode 136
Series: Core Christianity
Speaker: Pastor James Gallaher
In This Episode:
The laying on of hands isn’t just for pastors. It’s a core part of how the Church functions—with healing, blessing, affirmation, and commissioning. But somewhere along the way, we outsourced it to the “professionals.” This message reclaims the simplicity, humility, and spiritual power of this biblical act—calling every believer to be the hands of Jesus in a world desperate for a touch from the Father.
Main Idea:
The laying on of hands isn’t mystical—it’s foundational. It’s how we bless, heal, restore, and affirm one another in the name of Jesus.
Key Themes:
- The biblical pattern of laying on hands
- Blessing, healing, commissioning, and affirmation
- Why Jesus made this part of His ministry
- Barriers that keep us from engaging (pride, pain, fear, busyness)
- How to begin walking in this call as a follower of Christ
