Hope For Healing | Acts 29 | Pastor Rob Koke | Shoreline Church | Sermon

God still heals—sometimes instantly, sometimes over time, sometimes through doctors, and ultimately in eternity.** In this message from our Acts 29 series, we look at how the Holy Spirit moved in the early church and why we can pray boldly for miracles today. From Paul and Silas to the man at the Beautiful Gate, Scripture is packed with healings—and honest tension when answers don’t come the way we hoped. Wherever you’re hurting (body, mind, or heart), this talk will help you hold onto Jesus with real, living hope.

**Big idea:** Our faith isn’t based on what God does in a single moment but on **who God is**—good, present, and powerful. So we pray expectantly and trust Him completely.
