February 9, 2025 | "Celebrating Healing From Addiction” | Pastor Vicki Harrison and Will New

9:30 AM Service


Summary:

In the second week of the God's Healing series, Pastor Vicki Harrison introduces the topic of addiction, sharing key statistics and a biblical perspective on its impact. Addiction is described as both a physical disease and a spiritual affliction, highlighting the importance of God's role in healing. Pastor Vicki emphasizes that while addiction changes the brain's reward systems, it also enslaves individuals spiritually, making it impossible to fully love God and others as commanded in Matthew 22:37-39.

The sermon transitions to a powerful personal testimony from Will New, who shares his journey from addiction to sobriety. Will recounts his struggles with alcohol, how it affected his family, and the pivotal moment when he realized the need for change. He emphasizes that true healing began when he allowed God's light into his life, supported by his family, friends, and church community. Will's story is a testament to God's grace, unconditional love, and the power of accountability in overcoming addiction.
