They Went Out and Preached that People Should Repent

This passage shows Jesus and his disciples on a revolution — they are out with a radical message and an urgent mission. As we look at this passage, we’ll learn more about that message and how Jesus and his disciples are getting that message out. We’ll see how people respond to this message in this passage. And as we look at Jesus and his disciples sharing this message, we’ll see that we too are both recipients of this message and those entrusted to carry this message forward to the world — we are all part of this revolution of hearts and souls!

Daughter, Your Faith Has Made You Well

Last week we looked at this same passage, but focused on the story of Jairus and his daughter.  This week we will focus on the woman with the flow of blood in verses 25-34.  We consider her faith as she came to Jesus.  And as we look at the faith of this woman with the flow of blood, I want us to think about our own faith as well.  Last week we talked about responding in faith amidst trials.  This week I want us to think about what that faith looks like.  Do we go to Jesus first, or somewhere else?  And do we go to Jesus in the ways that he tells us to, or with our own made up approach?  So let’s dig into this passage and we’ll flush out these questions as we consider this woman and her faith, and more importantly, as we consider Jesus’ ministry to her.
