“On the other side of the lake the crowds welcomed Jesus, because they had been waiting for him. Then a man named Jairus, a leader of the local synagogue, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come home with him. His only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As […]

Thadd looks at the stories of Jairus's daughter and the woman who touched Jesus's garment in this morning's message from Matthew 9:18-26.

Full Text of ReadingsFeast of Saint James, Apostle Lectionary: 605The Saint of the day is Saint JamesSaint James’ Story This James is the brother of John the Evangelist. The two were called by Jesus as they worked with their father in a fishing boat on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus had already called another pair of brothers from a similar occupation: Peter and Andrew. “He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him” (Mark 1:19-20). James was one of the favored three who had the privilege of witnessing the Transfiguration, the raising to life of the daughter of Jairus, and the agony in Gethsemani. Two incidents in the Gospels describe the temperament of this man and his brother. Saint Matthew tells that their mother came—Mark says it was the brothers themselves—to ask that they have the seats of honor in the kingdom. “Jesus said in reply, ‘You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?' They said to him, ‘We can'” (Matthew 20:22). Jesus then told them they would indeed drink the cup and share his baptism of pain and death, but that sitting at his right hand or left was not his to give—it “is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father” (Matthew 20:23b). It remained to be seen how long it would take to realize the implications of their confident “We can!” The other disciples became indignant at the ambition of James and John. Then Jesus taught them all the lesson of humble service: The purpose of authority is to serve. They are not to impose their will on others, or lord it over them. This is the position of Jesus himself. He was the servant of all; the service imposed on him was the supreme sacrifice of his own life. On another occasion, James and John gave evidence that the nickname Jesus gave them—“sons of thunder”—was an apt one. The Samaritans would not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to hated Jerusalem. “When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, ‘Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?' Jesus turned and rebuked them…” (Luke 9:54-55). James was apparently the first of the apostles to be martyred. “About that time King Herod laid hands upon some members of the church to harm them. He had James, the brother of John, killed by the sword, and when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he proceeded to arrest Peter also” (Acts 12:1-3a). This James, sometimes called James the Greater, is not to be confused with James the Lesser or with the author of the Letter of James and the leader of the Jerusalem community. Reflection The way the Gospels treat the apostles is a good reminder of what holiness is all about. There is very little about their virtues as static possessions, entitling them to heavenly reward. Rather, the great emphasis is on the Kingdom, on God's giving them the power to proclaim the Good News. As far as their personal lives are concerned, there is much about Jesus' purifying them of narrowness, pettiness, fickleness.

In the final installment of our Jesus Changes Lives series, we focus on Jairus, a father who desperately sought Jesus for the healing of his dying daughter. When all hope seemed lost, Jesus declared: “Don't be afraid; just believe.” In this message, Ps. Rafy Panlilio explains the importance of biblical hope—not mere wishing, but confident expectation. We see that Jesus brings peace in times of distress, faith in times of fear, and fulfillment to longings that seem impossible. Whether you are struggling with sickness, fear, or discouragement—this message is a reminder that Jesus still changes lives through hope.

What desperate lengths would you go to for a miracle? In his riveting sermon, Pastor Jamey Bridges invites us into the story of a woman whose unwavering faith drove her to defy social norms and reach out to Jesus, believing that even a mere touch of His robe could transform her life. Pastor Jamey tackles the discomfort of complacency in our faith, urging the congregation to examine the sincerity of their beliefs in light of their actions. He challenges the notion that the church is merely a space for personal growth, emphasizing that true faith is about equipping ourselves to serve others and glorify God. The intricate relationship between the woman's plight and Jairus's daughter teaches us about profound desperation, humility, and the courage that accompanies it, all while highlighting that Jesus sees and values even the most marginalized among us. This message is particularly relevant today, as many feel unseen in a culture that values superficiality over authenticity. As Pastor Jamey urges, the time has come for us to step out of our comfort zones and engage in the messy yet fulfilling work of sharing God's love.

Text UsLuke 8:40-56In this episode, Josh Brockman and Dan Reed get through the end of Luke chapter 8 (it's been quit a journey!). This week the guys discuss that last 16 verses, that center around the healing of a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years and the resurrection of Jairus' daughter. They emphasize the importance of faith in Jesus, the significance of His miracles, and the hope of eternal life. The conversation reflects on the nature of belief, the power of Jesus to heal, and the transformative impact of encountering the divine.

In this message, Pastor Jordan unpacks two powerful stories from Mark 5 — Jairus, who desperately comes to Jesus on behalf of his dying daughter, and the woman with the issue of blood, who pushes through the crowd to touch Him. Both come to Jesus believing for the same miracle. We all reach for something when life gets desperate. And sometimes, we get discouraged in the waiting. But faith comes by hearing — so we have to position ourselves to hear and receive the Word of God.

This message on Luke 8:40-56 was preached at our Lord's Day Evening Worship. This message looks at how Jesus raised Jairus's daughter from the dead. This is sermon 77 in our expository series in Luke. If you have any comments or questions we would love to hear from you. Please email us on: pastor@gbcb.org.uk

Matthew 9 verses1-8 speak of our Lord Jesus Christ healing a paralytic man. Note our Lord's love, compassion and authority all shown in this miracle. Jesus demonstrates the link between sin and sickness. Adam's sin brought suffering, sickness and death. Jesus' life and offering brought deliverance from these: Jesus Christ is the Lord of life. And his life caused men and women to glorify God. In verses 9-13 Jesus called Matthew, ie Levi, to follow him. Many murmured that Jesus would ask a tax collector to become one of his disciple. Our Lord responds by quoting the words of Hosea 6:6 to explain why he ministers to the needy and not the self righteous. In verses 14-17 Jesus responds to a question about fasting by saying that his disciples were not fasting while the bridegroom was with them. The disciples of our Lord were like supple wineskins who were able to grow with his teaching rather than being stifled by adherence to mere tradition. Verses 18-26 speak of Jesus' restoration to life of Jairus' daughter. Jairus was the ruler of the Capernaum synagogue. This miracle again proves that Jesus is "the Lord of life". Just prior to restoring life to Jairus' daughter Jesus heals the woman with the issue of blood. The unnamed woman could not be cured by any of Israel's doctors. Our Lord did what the Law and its rigid followers were incapable of doing. In verses 27-31 Jesus heals two blind men. What he requires of them is faith that he can heal: not only physical disease but more importantly sin. In verses 32-34 our Lord cures a deaf man. This is a reminder of Messiah's kingdom rule: Isaiah 35 verses 1-10. Read slowly aloud and pause and ponder. Verses 35-38 tell of our Lord's mission and motive. Why did he heal? Because God had anointed him to do so: Isaiah 61:1-4; and because he came to open the blind eyes: Isaiah 9:1-7. What moved him to so act - zeal for His God and compassion for God's children: Matthew 9 verses36; Numbers 27 verses17. The great volume of work moved our Lord Jesus to say Jesus: Pray for God to send more labourers into His plentiful harvest.

It's amazing that Saul with spies everywhere could not find David in the wilderness yet Jonathan on his own could find him. No! It's not amazing as God was protecting David and assisting Jonathan in finding him. And preventing Saul from finding David. The discussion between David and Jonathan indicates that David had only been absent from Saul's regal table for a matter of days, or at most weeks. They make a plan to explain David's absence and to find out how Saul will react to this news. Together Jonathan and David devise a scheme to communicate Saul's mood without exposing David to danger. The two friends make a covenant twice sworn because of their mutual love. Jonathan will pretend to shoot at a target outside of the city and will either tell David by sign that it will be safe to come back to the palace, or for David to flee swiftly. Saul says nothing to reveal his mood on David's first absence believing David to be ceremonially unclean. But in an uncontrollable rage Saul throws a javelin to kill his son Jonathan. Saul claims that David and Jonathan have conspired against him and that Jonathan's mother is to be blamed for Jonathan's weakness. Jonathan left Saul's feast in a rage and he the next morning warns David to flee with haste.  Isaiah 64 verses 1-4 is a call from the prophet for a theophany - God revealing, or manifesting, Himself - to His people. The language recalls the time in Exodus 20 when God came down on Mount Sinai in might and power and gave His people a "fiery Law": Habbakuk 3 verses 1-16. The earth trembles at His majestic and awesome presence.  The purpose of manifesting His power is that His people will respond with respect and trust for their Sovereign. Verse 4 tells of the LORD's love for His people and the wonders He has in store for them: 1 Corinthians 2 verses 6-16 explains Yahweh's purpose for His children. It is to fill the earth with His glory revealed in His glorious children. Verse 5-7 is a lament that speaks of our best efforts to please the Almighty. These are pitiful and unbecoming no matter how hard we try. However when we graciously accept His forgiveness and mercy and trust in His righteousness we become children who delight our God. Verses 9-12 is a prayer for our Omnipotent Sovereign to reverse our desolation and bring peace and glory to Zion when He delivers us. Matthew 9 verses1-8 speak of our Lord Jesus Christ healing a paralytic man. Note our Lord's love, compassion and authority all shown in this miracle. Jesus demonstrates the link between sin and sickness. Adam's sin brought suffering, sickness and death. Jesus' life and offering brought deliverance from these: Jesus Christ is the Lord of life.

When Jesus said, “She is sleeping,” He wasn't confused—He was showing us Heaven's perspective. In this sermon by Pastor Alex, we explore the story of Jairus' daughter and his unstoppable faith.  If Jesus has power over death, surely He has power over everything you're facing today.

When Jesus gets to the garden, He takes three of the inner circledisciples—Peter, James, and John—and goes a little further. Jesusleft eight of the other disciples somewhere else in the garden, and He takesthese three a little further. What's interesting is that this is the third timethat Jesus has shared a special occasion with these three men. The first waswhen Jesus raised Jairus's daughter from the dead in Luke 8:41-56. The secondis when Jesus was on the Mount of Transfiguration and was transfigured beforethem in Luke 9:28-36. Youunderstand that even on this third occasion in the garden, there's somethingconnected spiritually with all three of these occasions, and that is death.Jesus raised Jairus's daughter from the dead when James, John, and Peter werein the room with Him on that occasion. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, a great Biblepreacher, a British expositor, pointed out that each of these occasions hadsomething to do with death. In Jairus's house, Jesus proved Himself to bevictorious over death. On the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus was glorifiedthrough death. There, He, Moses, and Elijah were talking about His decease, Hisdeath in Jerusalem, and, of course, His resurrection. Now here in the garden,Jesus is surrendering His life to death. Youremember also that James was the first apostle to die in Acts 12:1-2. John wasthe last to die, probably on the Isle of Patmos or maybe after He got out ofexile and came back to Ephesus. Peter experienced great persecution andeventually was crucified, they tell us, upside down in Rome. These threelessons were no doubt practical for them as they themselves prepared for deathand faced death as they did later. Sowe see Jesus is with these three disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane. I wouldreally encourage you to read Matthew 26:36-46. Matthew's gospel, on thisoccasion in verse 37, tells us that He took with Him Peter and the two sons ofZebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. He said to them,"My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch withMe." Then it says He went a little further. Here in chapter 22 of Luke'sgospel, in verse 41, He withdrew from them about a stone's throw. Ifyou think about that, a stone's throw was basically saying as far as it wouldtake to throw a stone. When the Jewish people were about to kill someone,Jewish execution always took place with a stoning. Luke giving us the distance,“a stone's throw”, was his way of telling us that Jesus was preparing for thatstone's throw, but it wouldn't be a stone's throw; it would be a crucifixionbecause Old Testament scripture prophesied that Jesus would be crucified. Hewould be hung on a cross; He would die in a cruel way; His blood would be shedthat way. SoJesus went about a stone's throw and He knelt down and prayed. Very interesting,Jesus had said to the disciples, "Watch and pray. I need your help; I needyour support during this hour. Watch and pray; be alert; be on the watch. Satanis out to destroy you; Satan is out to hinder us and keep us even from going tothe cross."  Jesusbegan to be very sorrowful. So Jesus asked them to watch and pray. In Matthew'sgospel, He actually did this two times, came back the third time, and said, "ThenHe came to His disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping andresting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed intothe hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand."(Matthew 26:45-46) Soyou see this whole picture unfolds, Jesus is in Gethsemane, pouring out His heartin prayer. Tomorrow we'll talk about what He prayed concerning that cup, thatcup that He prayed, "Take this cup away from Me, nevertheless not My will,but Yours, be done." Today,I trust that instead of being asleep spiritually we are alert, watching andpraying during our trial of temptation! God bless!

Mark's sandwich story of Jairus's daughter and the bleeding woman reveals a Jesus who restores, heals, and meets us where we are. It's a powerful reminder that nothing separates us from God's love and we're called to share that love freely.

John 5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. I want to open my comments on this verse with this: to live to love with the Son is to live to love with the Father. I derive this conclusion from Jesus' statements like this one. He continued to drive home the point to the Jews that Jesus' works were the Father's works and will. In this verse, Jesus exalted His Father as the life-giver. He raises the dead and gives them life. Was Jesus referring to physical resurrection such as Lazarus, Jairus' daughter, or the widow's son or to spiritual new birth? Both would be true. Both would also be true of Jesus' power to give life. Let's be encouraged by two things from this verse. One, the Father and the Son have the power to give life because they are the source of all life. Death was conquered at the cross. Just as the Father did it, Jesus did it. The writer of Hebrews wrote in 2:14, “Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.” Death has been defeated and swallowed up by life. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise the name of the Lord! So first, we who have believed in Jesus are encouraged that we not only know this great truth as an intellectual fact, but we know it by experience. The One who raises the dead and gives life is our Father, and He has given us life in His Son. Two, we may be encouraged that Jesus, like the Father, gives life to whomever He wishes. That means there is no person who cannot be saved. There is nothing anyone has done or can do that can stop the life-giving power of God. This gives us great confidence as we love those God puts in our paths. We aren't relying on our ability to convince anyone to do anything. When the Father and Son give life, they will believe that Jesus has conquered death and is life and the life-giver. We love people and proclaim the gospel with confidence that God is able to give life to them when He wishes. Father in heaven, thank You for another day of life to know and love You and love with Jesus. We thank You for the Holy Spirit, who manifests the presence and power of Christ, so that we can love and trust You and love those You put in our paths for Your glory. We pray that You will give life as we love and share the gospel today. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of "giving it forward," so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

Study 11 - Luke 8: 1 - 56 Faith and faithfulness Part 2 What experience have you ever had of what were clearly demonic powers? It is thought that the Joanna of 8: 3 and the Junia of Rom 16: 7 may be different versions of the name of the same person. (It should be Junia, a woman’s name; Junias is a man’s name and a mistranslation) If so, we may presume Joanna/Junia was an apostle because she fulfilled the requirements of Acts 1: 21, 22, even though being a woman meant she could not be one of the twelve. Luke is careful not to forget the women! Neither should we! We noted in the last study that one word in the Greek means both ‘faith’ and ‘faithfulness’. 1) How do we use these words? What is the difference in meaning in our common usage of them? 2) The central passage of these chapters is the familiar parable of the sower (8:1–8). Which meaning, faith or faithfulness, is it encouraging us to think of as the most important? A parable is designed to be about one most important point but while doing so usually teaches several other theological ideas. 3) Which parts of this parable imply the following things: the Kingdom comes: a) slowly, it is not a noisy in-breaking event; b) as a work of grace; c) necessarily including fruit bearing; d) with the promise of hope. 4) This parable is usually called ‘The Parable of the Sower’. What else could it be called? What was Jesus really emphasising? What should the title be? 5) What are the present day meanings or examples of: taken by the devil / no root / choked by life / producing a crop? 6) Suppose some seed fell in a stream, floated away, landed, and grew where the farmer could not harvest them? What would the meaning of that be today? 7) Why are the secrets of the Kingdom of God so hard to understand (8: 10)? What did Jesus mean by talking about hearing as though that is difficult? Did he really teach in parables so that people would not understand what he said (8: 10)? What did he mean by saying we have to be careful how we listen (8: 18)? See also 8: 21. 8) We cannot easily make ourselves have ‘noble and good hearts’ (8: 15). What – in very practical terms - does Jesus expect us to do in the light of this parable? The next two short stories highlight contrasting attitudes of acceptance and rejection to Jesus, as did the story of Simon the Pharisee and the unnamed woman (7: 36 – 50). Faith(fulness) is weak in those who should be strong (8: 22 – 25) and rejected in those who had the opportunity to have it (8: 34 – 37). 9) Over the centuries many believers must have prayed frantically when faced with death by drowning. Many will still have drowned. These did not drown(8: 24, 25). Why? 10)The people of Gerasa thought about what it would mean for them in money terms if Jesus was around and decided they would be better off without him (8: 36, 37). How very 21st century! What was Jesus’ response? What does that say to us? We noted the final dual healing of a woman and a man’s daughter (8 : 40 – 56) reflects that of a man and a woman’s son in the first two episodes in this section (7: 1 – 17). 11)What does this dual healing tell us about faith? How strong does faith have to be in order to be answered? How far is it true to say it is always answered? Or when is it not answered? 12)Why did Jesus tell the demon-possessed man to go and tell (8: 39) and Jairus and his wife to keep quiet (8: 56)?

Today on Karl and Crew, we analyzed the fatherly demeanor of Jesus and Jairus in Mark Chapter 5. In verses 21-43 of the chapter, we see Jesus heal a bleeding woman and restore life to Jairus’s daughter in a nurturing and loving manner. We also see Jairus's unwavering faith as he patiently trusts Jesus’s healing power over his daughter. Then we had Ann Wilson join us to provide some insight on the importance of affirming your partner in marriage.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And today's shout-out goes to Bob Smotherman from Temperance, MI. Bob, thank you for partnering with us through Project23. Your support helps rewrite endings for so many. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 5:35-43: While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat. — Mark 5:35-43 The crowd was still processing the healing of the woman. But before Jairus could take another step, his worst fear arrived: “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” It was over. Too late. Or so they thought. But Jesus hears the report and immediately speaks to Jairus: “Do not fear. Only believe.” That one sentence reframes everything. Jesus doesn't explain. He simply calls Jairus to trust—beyond the news, beyond the evidence, beyond the grief, beyond the noise. They arrive at the house, and the wailing has already begun. People mourning. People mocking. Jesus says, “She's not dead but sleeping,” and they laugh. But their laughter doesn't stop him. He clears the room. He takes her hand. And He speaks the words only Jesus could say: “Talitha cumi.” And she does. This is who Jesus is. He speaks life where others have accepted death. He walks into impossible rooms and rewrites the ending. He turns mourning into miracles. If you're holding onto grief, fear, or finality today. Remember, Jesus can rewrite the ending of any story. Hear his words again: “Do not fear. Only believe.” #OnlyBelieve, #JesusHeals, #MarkFive ASK THIS: What fear are you facing that Jesus wants to replace with faith? How do you respond when others mock your hope in Jesus? What areas of your life feel like they're beyond saving? How might Jesus be rewriting a story you've already given up on? DO THIS: Speak aloud the words of Jesus today—“Do not fear. Only believe”—and let them confront one specific fear you're facing. PRAY THIS: Jesus, when fear and doubt try to take over, help me hear Your voice above the noise. I choose to believe—even when others laugh, even when it seems too late. Amen. PLAY THIS: Graves Into Gardens.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And today's shout-out goes to Jay T Patterson from Verona, MO. Jay, thank you for standing with us through Project23. Your support helps deliver healing to people. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 5:25-29: And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. — Mark 5:25-29 As Jesus walks with Jairus toward a dying daughter, another story unfolds in the crowd. A woman. Unnamed. Unnoticed. Twelve years of bleeding. Twelve years of suffering. Twelve years of disappointment. Twelve years of uncleanliness. She's spent everything she had—physically, financially, emotionally—and she's only gotten worse. By every account, she should have stayed home. She was considered physically and spiritually unclean. She wasn't supposed to be there. But faith doesn't wait for permission. She pushes through the crowd. Quietly. Carefully. She doesn't shout. She doesn't stop Jesus. She reaches out, thinking: “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” And in that moment—she is. The bleeding stops. The suffering ends. The healing begins. That's the power of quiet faith. It's not always loud or public. It doesn't always make headlines or draw attention. But it moves. It reaches. It touches Jesus. And Jesus responds. Sometimes, all you've got left—is a reach. But if you reach for the right One, that's all you'll ever need. What if the issue you're facing isn't about trying harder. But finally, reaching for Jesus? #FaithThatHeals, #TouchOfJesus, #Mark52529 ASK THIS: What have you been suffering with in silence? How have you reached for Jesus in your pain? What keeps you from pushing through the crowd today? Do you believe Jesus can respond to quiet faith? DO THIS: Push past the fear or shame today—pray boldly and reach out to Jesus with that one issue you've been hiding. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I come quietly but boldly, reaching for You with the pain I've carried far too long. Heal what doctors and efforts cannot—touch my life with Your power. Amen.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And today's shout-out goes to Rick Morris from Bunnell, FL. Rick, thank you for standing with us through Project23. Your support helps deliver God's Word to families across the globe. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 5:21-24: And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” And he went with him. — Mark 5:21-24 Jesus returns to the Jewish side of the Sea of Galilee, and as usual, the crowds are already waiting. But this time, someone pushes through the crowd—not a leper, not a tax collector, not a fisherman. It's a father. And a synagogue ruler. His name is Jairus. He's a respected man. A religious leader. A person of status in the community. But on this day, none of that matters to him. The only thing on his mind is the life of his daughter—sick and close to death. Jairus doesn't send a servant. He leaves her bedside, falls at Jesus' feet, and begs: “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” This is more than desperation—it's faith. That's what faith does. It moves into and through imperfect conditions. It walks into uncertainty. It reaches through desperation—toward the only one who holds hope and healing: Jesus. Jairus didn't know how his request would be received. But he had heard about Jesus. And he knew Jesus was the only one who could help. And Jesus responds with mercy—he goes with him. Faith is often seen most clearly in our moments of desperation. The singular focus of our heart, mind, and soul in crisis directs everything toward the one object worthy of our trust. For Jairus, it wasn't a physician. It was the Miracle Worker from Nazareth. He fell at His feet—believing He could heal and save. Maybe today, you're carrying a desperate burden. Maybe it's not a daughter—but a decision. Maybe not a disease—but a disappointment. Don't carry it alone. Bring it to Jesus. Run to Him. Fall before Him. Ask boldly. And trust—He still walks with those who cry out in faith. #FaithInCrisis, #JesusHeals, #BoldBelief ASK THIS: What desperate burden are you carrying today? How does Jairus' faith challenge your own response to trials? Who or what do you usually run to in crisis? What might it look like to “fall at Jesus' feet” in your life? DO THIS: Run to Jesus today with your burden—don't delay. Speak to him out loud, laying your needs at his feet. PRAY THIS: Jesus, in my desperation, I bring my burden to You, trusting You alone can save. Strengthen my faith as I wait for Your mercy. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Run to the Father" by Cody Carnes.

Keep on Believing is a faith-based relational message on healing, which describes the woman's faith with the issue of blood and how she received her healing. It also illustrates how God used this testimony to inspire Jairus, when he received the negative report that his daughter had already died, and was advised not to trouble Jesus any further for her healing. Upon hearing this, Jesus instructed Jairus to "Keep on Believing."

Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record this event, intertwining a woman's healing with the raising of Jairus' daughter from the dead. These two individuals could not be more different. Jairus is a respected synagogue leader, and the unnamed woman is an outcast, suffering for twelve years. Yet, both approach Jesus in desperate need. Jairus pleads for his dying daughter, while the woman, impoverished, suffering, and ceremonially unclean, seeks healing by touching Jesus' garment. While Jesus accompanies Jairus to heal his daughter's sickness, the procession is interrupted by this woman who touches Jesus. Because of this delay, Jairus' daughter dies. But as Jesus brings this woman forward, calls her "daughter," (the only place in the gospels where Jesus calls someone daughter) and says, "Your faith has healed you," Jairus is given a picture of what is required of him. When news of his daughter's death comes, Jesus tells Jairus, "Do not fear, only believe." Jesus calls Jairus to trust in Him despite what the news-bearers have said, despite the mocking laughter the mourners spew, and despite what his own heart tells him about the finality of death. Just as the woman stepped forward and fell at Jesus' feat (even with her fear and the risks involved), Jairus is called to put aside his fear and step forward with Jesus, believing He is Lord over even death itself. The four miracles in this section reveal Jesus as God incarnate, with power over creation (the storm), spirits (the legion), disease (the woman), and death (Jairus' daughter). They point to the inbreaking of God's kingdom, offering a glimpse of a future where sin, sickness, and death are no more. But, whether a ruler of a synagogue or a poor hopeless outcast, all humanity must enter this kingdom by faith. I. The Desperate Father's Plea (v. 21-24a) II. The Hopeless Woman's Faith (v. 24b-34) III. The Call To Faith (v. 35-40) IV. The Lord Over Death (v. 41-43)

A Study of Jairus -

When God delays- When expectations are delayed it can be difficult to endure. God does not always operate the way we expect Him to. A man named Jairus convinced Jesus to come heal his dying daughter, but another desperate and needy woman interrupted Jesus along the way.

A woman is healed and a young girl is raised to life. Jesus is the only one who can do such miracles. There is no physician, no medicine, no cure to death and the pangs of this life except in Christ. He is gracious and willing to heal, intent on having a personal relationship with those He saves. It's by faith these women are made well; the same is true for us today.

Don't be afraid, only believe.

Sermon Overview Jesus alone has the authority to give life, so trust him.Digging Deeper   Read Luke 8:40-561. The situation with Jairus's daughter went from desperate to (seemingly) hopeless. And yet, because of who Jesus is, the one who has the authority to give life, things were not actually hopeless after all. Has there been a situation(s) in your life where you were tempted to feel that things are hopeless? How did God use that situation in your life? Please share. 2. How would you counsel a follower of Jesus who has confided in you that he or she is feeling hopeless? How might this passage, and what it reveals about Jesus, bring encouragement? What other passages or truths from God's Word might you point them to? 3. What connection does this story have to our celebration of Jesus' resurrection from the dead? 4. This passage calls us to trust Jesus (the only one with authority to give life) to give us life. What might that sort of trust look like for us? What might be some signs that we are not trusting Jesus as we ought?  5. In what sense do those who trust in Christ have eternal life already (see John 3:36 & 17:3)? What does this mean? What does that look like? 6. How should the reality of a future resurrection life (in heaven) affect how we live now? To what extent would you say your hope of heaven is affecting the way you live on a regular basis? How might we (help one another) grow in this? 7. In 1 Corinthians 15:17-19 we read, “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.” What is at stake for us in Christ's resurrection from the dead? Practically speaking, what might it look like for us to live in light of it? 8. For those of us in Christ, Jesus has brought us life. He wants to bring that life to others, and he wants to use us (his people) to make that happen. Who in your life does not yet know the life that Jesus offers? How might you share this story with them, and/or point them to Christ's power to save and to give (eternal) life? Prayer

The Catechism demonstrates how Christ's resurrection is “essentially different” from other cases of resurrection in the Bible and shows us how his rising from the dead is a “work of the Holy Trinity.” Fr. Mike emphasizes that Jesus was not merely “resuscitated” from the dead, as Jairus' daughter or Lazarus, but he rose from the dead glorified, “filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 645-650.
