My Healer (8 of 8)
Series: What Is His Name?
Jeff Schreve
Exodus 15:22-27
Well for the last several weeks we've been in a series on the names of God. We've entitled this series ''What is His Name?'' finding strength and deliverance through the powerful names of God.

Joni Erickson was injured in a diving accident in 1967, she's been a quadriplegic in a wheelchair ever since. Now you look at those two people and you ask yourself this question ''Who needs healing more: Iron Mike Tyson or Joni Erickson Toda?'' We say ''Pastor Jeff, I mean obviously Joni Erickson, quadriplegic in a wheelchair, needs healing more than Mike Tyson d ...
