THE PARTY IN THE MIDST OF PAIN (4 of 5)
(Healing for Hurt)
Rev. Jim Henry, Pastor
Psalm 23:5
Sunday, 08/27/00, 9:15 a.m. Service
If I were to ask you about some hurts you have
had in your life, immediately everybody in here, I am
sure, could think of at least one. Just last week we
looked at troubles that come we also have hurts that
come in our lives. Sometimes the hurts come in such a

United States we call them mesas.
So you go to a certain place and the table is
set for you, so to speak. He says the Lord has
prepared a table and the best forage that he can
