One thing that is evident in the books of the Old Testament is that communal prayer is powerful prayer. Community prayer is demonstrated in many different instances in the Old Testament. Perhaps it is the shouting to the Lord and blowing trumpets to defeat Jericho (Joshua 6). The prayers of a people suffering in slavery,…

In my opinion, the significance of this story is not the healing, but the various reactions and attitudes of the key players in the story, and how much we can truly learn from…
