Healing obstacles: a bible study on John 5:1-18.(barriers of discrimination)
This bible study addresses the general topic of healing, the theme of the LWF Assembly in July. More particularly, it examines the issue of "Barriers that Exclude," which will be one of the subtopics discussed in the Assembly Village Groups. As you follow the bible study, you are also invited to consider some of the questions offered on this topic in the Assembly Study Book on page 171.

* What should we be doing to remove them?
