“Can Healed Hands Heal?”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on February 8, 2026.
Continues the Surveying Deep Roots for New Seasons sermon series.
Covers selected verses from Nehemiah 3 & 4 and Romans 12:1-5 & 9-18.
There has been a growing acknowledgment of the wisdom that when we’re in the middle of trauma and pain or panic, it is very challenging, and even likely to make things worse, if we feel pressure to do something for others when we haven’t been cared for and built up our capacity ourselves. Yet, we can also end up stuck in feeling overwhelmed and missing out on healing and transformation that comes from having what we have to share acknowledged and given an outlet. We can be defensive, or contentious to try and protect ourselves, but God gives the gift of interdependent community in the Kingdom where God’s love empowers us to care and be cared for and find transformation together.
