When Church Hurts

By: Colin Mason
  • Summary

  • Exploring the issue of spiritual abuse in the church. Although there are many church groups and organisations doing wonderful things for the Kingom of God, there are also those who are clearly being used by the enemy. The bible gives warnings about the end times and the rise of false leaders pursuing their own ungodly agenda. This has resulted in many people being very disappointed with church becasue of their negative experiences, but this was never God's intention. When Church Hurts examines what godly and ungodly leaders look like. It also goes on to explore various scenarios that could be potentially dangerous and need to be avoided at all costs. A detailed look is given to the issue of sexual exploitation by leaders and how the church should handle such situations. It explores ways in which Satan comes against the church, the power of forgiveness, as well as healing and deliverance from the effects of spiritual abuse. No matter how much a person has been hurt in church, God loves them deeply and despite everthing the enemy has thrown at them, He still has plans for their lives.

  • 12. The importance of the body of Christ
    Nov 27 2020

    The body of Christ was instituted by our Lord and saviour.  It is vitally important that we are attached to the body of Christ in order to function as a body of believers as God ordained.  
    Just like a human body has individual parts that work together, the church is comprised of individuals that should be functioning together as a whole body, not as separate limbs so to speak.  

    The enemy will do all that he can to cause hurt and offence, thereby erroneously convincing individuals that they are better off going it alone and separate from the body.  However, once we understand God’s perspective on being part of His body, we have a better understanding of the great importance of being securely attached to the body.

  • 11. Healing & Deliverance
    Nov 20 2020

    Healing and deliverance was very evident throughout the scriptures and Jesus Christ often brought such relief to multitudes on a regular basis.  The disciple also went about healing and delivering others and set many people free. 
    The church has also been empowered to bring healing and deliverance to many, but unfortuanately, it  is regarded as something only for the "healing evangelist" or "deliverance ministry". 
    The truth is every born-again believer has been spiritually equipped through the power of the Holy Spirit to operate in this world as God’s representative which beside spreading the gospel message also includes healing and deliverance.

  • 10. Forgiveness
    Nov 13 2020

    Forgiveness is often a very misunderstood topic amongst believers,  and yet it has the potential to free us from the pain of our past and heal us of the effects of situations that have harmed us.
    We all need to forgive others at some stage in our lives, however unforgivessness has the potential to keep us in bondage to our pasts and can greatly hinder us from moving forward in our lives and most importantly moving onwards and upwards with God.
    Allow God to speak to you in this episode about how powerful forgiveness is and free yourself for whatever the enemy has thrown at you by using others against you.
