Welcome to Day 2879 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2879 – “Never Too Little, Never Too Lost”  based on Luke 8:22-39 Putnam Church Message – 05/10/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Never Too Little, Never Too Lost.”   Last week's message was “Freedom from Bondage,” in which we learned that, regardless of the storms of life we face or the bondage we have experienced, through Christ we can withstand them and live free because believers fight on the winning side. Today, we continue with our twenty-second message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “Never Too Little, Never Too Lost.” Our core passage today is Luke 8:40-56, which is found on page 1607 of your pew Bibles. Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman 40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,[a] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”  46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” 49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don't bother the teacher anymore.” 50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” 51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child's father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.” 53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!” 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened. Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today as people who sometimes feel rushed, overlooked, unclean, afraid, delayed, or disappointed. We confess that we often measure people by status, strength, influence, or usefulness, but Jesus never does. Lord, open our hearts to Your Word today. Help us see that no one is too little for Your attention, and no one is too lost for Your grace. Teach us to trust You when life is urgent, when hope seems delayed, and even when it feels like death has spoken the final word. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of our hearts be pleasing to You, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. Introduction: Jesus Looks at the One I read a story about the former president of Taylor University, Jay Kesler, who once said with a smile, “I have an office full of pictures in which I'm shaking hands with great dignitaries, all of whom are looking at someone else.” That line makes us laugh because we know exactly what he means. We have all seen it. Someone important shakes your hand, but their eyes are scanning the room. They are already looking for the next person, the next opportunity, the next more important conversation. But Jesus is never like that. If Jesus were to shake your hand, He would not be looking past you. He would not be distracted by the crowd behind you. He would look into your eyes, into your soul, into the places you hide from everybody else, and He would say, “You matter to Me.” That is the heartbeat of our message today: Never Too Little, Never Too Lost. We are continuing in Luke 8:40–56, and I encourage you to read the full passage from the New Living Translation. Luke places two stories together that belong together: the dying daughter of Jairus and the suffering woman who touched the edge of Jesus' robe. One is a young girl from a respected household. / The other is an unnamed woman pushed to the edges of society. One has a father who can publicly plead her case. / The other has no public advocate at all. One is twelve years old. / The other has suffered for twelve years. One is loved in the center of the community. / The other has lived on the outside, isolated by illness, shame, and ceremonial uncleanness. And Jesus moves toward both of them. That is good news. Which brings us to the first of four truths today. Main Point 1: Jesus Is Never Too Busy for the Broken Luke tells us that when Jesus returned to Galilee, the crowd welcomed Him because they had been waiting for Him. This is important. In the previous passage, Jesus had crossed the lake into Gentile territory. There, He delivered a man who was possessed, tormented, isolated, and living among the tombs. We called that message “Freedom from Bondage.” The people of that region saw a transformed man sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind — and they asked Jesus to leave. Now Jesus comes back across the lake, likely to the area around Capernaum, and this crowd is waiting. Can you imagine the scene? People are pressing forward. Some are hoping for healing. Some are curious. Some are desperate. Some just want to see what Jesus will do next. And then a respected man steps out of the crowd. His name is Jairus. Luke calls him a leader or official of the synagogue. He was probably not a rabbi, but a lay elder — the kind of man who helped oversee worship, teaching, building care, and community matters. / In a Jewish village, the synagogue was not merely a church building. It was the center of communal life. Jairus would have been known, respected, and influential. But on this day, Jairus is not standing tall as a dignified religious leader. He falls at Jesus' feet. Why? Because his only daughter is dying. Parents understand this scene immediately. There are few fears deeper than the fear of losing a child. Jairus does not come to debate theology. He does not come to protect his reputation. He does not come wondering whether being seen with Jesus might damage his standing among other leaders. His daughter is dying, and suddenly nothing else matters. It reminds us of the centurion in Luke 7, whose beloved servant was near death. It reminds us of the widow of Nain, whose only son had died, and Jesus stepped into her grief before she even asked. In that message, we said, “There is Always Hope.” Here again, Luke shows us that Jesus moves toward human sorrow. And notice this: Jesus goes with Jairus. He does not say, “I am too busy.” He does not say, “There are too many people here.” He does not say, “You synagogue leaders have not always supported Me.” He does not say, “I just came back from a stormy voyage and a difficult rejection.” Jesus goes. Object Lesson: The Calendar and the Empty Space Imagine holding up a packed calendar or a long to-do list. Every line is filled. Every hour is claimed. There is no margin. Then hold up a blank sticky note and place it in the middle. That blank space represents the interruption. Most of us do not like interruptions. We say, “I was on my way to something important.” But Jesus shows us that sometimes / the interruption is the ministry. Jairus interrupted Jesus' public welcome. / The suffering woman will interrupt Jairus' emergency. /...

Tuesday, 9 June 2026   And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.” Matthew 20:21   “The ‘Also He said' to her, ‘What do you desire?' She says to Him, ‘You said that they might sit, these, the ‘two sons of mine,' one from ‘rights, You', and one from ‘lefts, You', in the ‘kingdom, Yours'.” (CG)   In the previous verse, the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons, kneeling before Him and asking a petition from Him. Matthew continues with, “The ‘Also He said' to her, ‘What do you desire?'”   When put in a position like this, all a person can do is wait for whatever is coming. It is reminiscent of what occurred between the Lord and Abraham –   “Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord. 23 And Abraham came near and said, ‘Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?'” Genesis 18:22, 23   Human beings have emotions and desires, wants and needs, and hopes and aspirations. Laying them before the Lord is one of the most common things we do. Jesus sees that what is being requested is obviously of great importance to them. With his question asked, “She says to Him, ‘You spoke.'”   The words mean she is asking for an authoritative statement to be made, essentially a declaration. Her request is “that they might sit, these, the ‘two sons of mine,'...”   She is asking for a decree to be made concerning her two sons. To sit in this case is not yet defined, but it means to hold a position. Israel “sat” in Egypt, the king “sits” on his throne, etc. A position is being requested. If it is made, it is something that will stand. People do this to other people, and it quite often puts them in a difficult position.   The reason for this is that a lifetime of contingencies may lie ahead that cannot be known at the time. Thus, when such a request is made, it can really put a person on the spot. As for the specific request, it is that “one from ‘rights, You', and one from ‘lefts, You'.”   The plural, rights and lefts, is a way of expressing the totality of one's side. This is common in Hebrew as well. But it is not unknown in English. We may say, “I am boxed in by my surroundings.” Such plural use gives a fuller sense than would be carried with a singular.   In this case, she is asking for her sons to sit in the fullness of Jesus right hand and left hand. The right hand is the preeminent position of honor, power, and authority. To be one's “right-hand man” means he has full authority to exercise the superior's will, just as Joseph had full authority over Pharaoh's house.    At that time, Pharaoh said, “...only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” The left side is one step down in prominence. If the one on the right cannot fulfill his duty, the one on the left would assume it.  As for this place of authority, she is asking for, it is “in the ‘kingdom, Yours'.”    Jesus had said they were going to Jerusalem. He had made a statement that they did not understand, but it appeared the promised earthly kingdom was at hand, something that the nation fully expected when they hailed Him on Palm Sunday –   “Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: ‘Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David That comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!'” Mark 11:9, 10   Because of the nearness of what was anticipated, she has come forward now, seizing the moment in anticipation of her sons being Jesus' chief men when that day arrived.   Life application: The sons of Zebedee have already been called “Sons of Thunder” by Jesus, as recorded in Mark 3:17. They had been a part of Jesus' inner circle, having been invited to events that only they and Peter were privy to, such as the transfiguration and the raising of Jairus' daughter.   It is evident from John's gospel that Jesus had a special spot in His heart for John, even allowing him to sit next to Him at the Last Supper. Peter was impulsive and was openly rebuked by Jesus in Matthew 16. Thus, these two seemed like a logical choice to be Jesus' chief men.   Though it may seem presumptuous to us, they probably felt that they had a right to their request already and wanted it solidified with their mother's appeal.   In the end, they will get two distinct places of honor from Jesus. James will be the first apostle to die, while John will be the last. As such, they were granted special honor by Jesus in one way, even if it was not what they expected as they stood with their mother before Jesus.   Lord God, thank You for hearing our pleas, misguided as they may be. You know when to grant our requests and when they are inappropriate. Our hearts are opened to You, and we often are overzealous in what we desire. Thank You that You know what is best for us and respond according to Your wisdom. Amen.  

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week's reflection opens with the third in a set of four anthems which the English composer Herbert Howells wrote in 1941 – "Like as the hart" – which sets the opening verses of Psalm 42. It is a deeply moving expression of spiritual longing and hope and one of his best-loved works. Our reading from St Luke's Gospel is one of Alison favourites from the New Testament and recounts the raising of Jairus' daughter, a story which was originally found in St Mark's Gospel. Alison reflects that perhaps the most important character is not the young girl central to the narrative but an outcast woman in the crowd that Jesus names 'daughter'. We close with the hymn "The King of love, my shepherd is" which is a metrical setting of Psalm 23 by The Revd Henry Baker published in 1868, sung to the then new tune, Dominus regit me, by John Bacchus Dykes.

At first glance, the three stories we heard in Matthew 9:9-13,18-26 don't have much in common. We have a tax collector, a woman with a bleeding disorder, and a man with a sick daughter. What could they possibly have in common? If we look deeper, we find that they are all sinners, or sick people.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sermons-from-my-heart--2423678/support.

The sermon centers on Jesus Christ's sovereign authority over disease, doubt, and death, revealed through the intertwined stories of a woman with a twelve-year affliction and the dying daughter of Jairus, a synagogue ruler. While both individuals approach Jesus in desperation and faith—she through touch, he through pleading—the narrative emphasizes that Jesus' power is not contingent on human perfection or emotional intensity, but on His divine will and lordship. The preacher underscores that true worship and spiritual vitality arise not from performance or manipulation of divine power, but from humble surrender to Christ's supremacy, illustrated by the disciples' eventual failures and the church's ongoing need for revival. The passage is not a formula for miraculous healing or instant answers, but a call to recognize Jesus as the ultimate authority over all creation, demons, and death, demanding a daily, intentional submission that transcends cultural apathy and self-centered religion.

Jesus was an absolutely masterful storyteller. His use of parables to convey meaning is, to my mind, completely unmatched. I have never heard of a person living or dead who is able to take simple stories and bring about such deep revelation and provoke such reflection as Jesus Christ. Is that surprising though, this is God after all! He is the very author of creation. The story that we will spotlight today is that of Jesus and a man named Jairus. Through it, trust that the Holy Spirit will take the faith that we have, even as small as a mustard seed and grant that we begin moving mountains. Amen.

What if the church has been asking the wrong question about disability?Too often, disability is presented as a picture of spiritual weakness, brokenness, or a barrier to faith. But when Jesus encounters people impacted by disability, He often does something very different. He highlights their faith, elevates their testimony, and uses their lives to strengthen the faith of others.In this episode, Dr. Chris Hulshof examines the intertwined stories of Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5. By studying these two miracles together, we discover how Jesus used the faith of one woman as a catalyst for another person's faith during a moment of crisis.Along the way, Chris challenges churches to consider how disability is portrayed from the pulpit, in ministry, and in congregational life. Are people with disabilities viewed primarily as ministry recipients, or are they recognized as fellow disciples whose faith can encourage, equip, and strengthen the entire body of Christ?In This EpisodeWhy the language we use about disability mattersHow disability is often portrayed as a hindrance to faithThe connection between Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of bloodHow Jesus used one person's faith to strengthen another'sWhy people with disabilities can serve as catalysts for faith within the churchPractical ways churches can create opportunities for meaningful participation and leadershipQuestions every church should ask about disability inclusionKey ScripturesMark 5:21–43Matthew 9:20–22Luke 8:43–48Key Quote"Too often disability is portrayed as a hindrance to faith rather than a catalyst for faith.

Episode 147 of 2 Minute Disciple Season 5 explores the deeply moving story of Jairus' daughter in Mark 5:35–43. Just as Jairus receives the worst news imaginable — “Your daughter is dead” — Jesus speaks five life-giving words: “Don't be afraid. Just have faith.” This contemplative Christian podcast episode invites listeners into a quiet place of trust, especially in moments when it feels like God has arrived too late. Through a gentle rhythm of slowing down, reading Scripture, noticing, meditating, responding in prayer, and practicing a daily spiritual habit, we reflect on the faith of Jairus and the authority of Jesus over death, despair, and hopelessness. Jesus walked into a house full of mourning, took a little girl's hand, and called her back to life. And in the same way, He still meets us in places where hope feels buried and reminds us that He is never too late. This episode is for anyone carrying disappointment, grief, delayed prayers, fear, or the ache of waiting on God. It is a reminder that even when circumstances seem final, Jesus is still at work.

The sin of unbelief- Jairus trusted Jesus when He was challenged to believe despite what seemed to be a failed attempt to have Jesus heal his daughter. His faith was rewarded when he saw Jesus raise his daughter from the dead. In contrast, Jesus "could do no mighty works" in his hometown of Nazareth because of their unbelief.

Today we're looking into Jesus and his miracles. We'll look at what a miracle is, all of the alleged miracles of Jesus, see what doubters say, and other interesting facts... WELCOME TO RELIGION CAMP!

Keep believing- A man named Jairus with a gravely ill daughter, and a woman dealing with an issue of blood flow for 12 years each came to Jesus out of desperation. Jesus chose to help the woman first, while Jairus's daughter died in her sickness. Why does God choose to heal some people and not others?

Send Us Your Questions/CommentsDemons call Jesus by name, a town begs him to leave, and one broken man ends up sitting clothed and clear-minded at the feet of Christ. That tension is where Luke 8 gets painfully honest: it's possible to recognize Jesus and still resist him when he disrupts what we prize. We talk through the Gerasene deliverance story as a vivid look at spiritual warfare, deliverance, and the kind of freedom no human chain, plan, or self-help fix can produce.From there, the pace shifts but the theme stays sharp. Jairus pleads for his dying daughter, and on the way Jesus stops for a woman suffering for twelve years who reaches out in faith. We unpack why Jesus calls her “daughter,” why he makes her story public, and why proximity to Jesus isn't the same as trusting him. If you've ever felt unseen, unclean, or stuck in a cycle you can't break, this passage offers hope that is both personal and powerful.Then the worst news lands: the little girl dies. Jesus answers with a command that cuts through panic and regret, “Do not fear, only believe,” and he shows his authority even over death. If you need release, restoration, or resurrection-level hope, you'll find it here.

1. The Trial of Faith 2. Power Even Over Death 3. Hope in Christ The sermon centers on the raising of Jairus' daughter as a demonstration of Jesus Christ's identity as the Son of God, whose authority extends even over death. Through a series of miracles the narrative reveals Jesus' power to defeat sin, suffering, and death, fulfilling His mission to abolish death and bring life and immortality to light. The passage emphasizes that faith in Christ is not based on human reasoning or circumstances but on the firm, objective hope grounded in His resurrection, which assures believers that death is not the end. The sermon underscores the pastoral mercy of Christ, who meets His people in their deepest despair with the command, 'Be not afraid, only believe,' and who sustains faith even when hope seems lost. Ultimately, this miracle foreshadows the future resurrection of all believers, in which death will be swallowed up in victory, and the redeemed will dwell eternally in a new creation where there is no more death, sorrow, or mourning.

2026-04-26 Don't Fear, Only Believeby Pastor Chris BergScripture Reference: Mark 5:21-43 21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 22 Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him.A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?' ”32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”36 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don't be afraid; just believe.”37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. 38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” 40 But they laughed at him.After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). 42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Office Phone: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.AI notes from Pocket:Sermon Structure OutlineI. Introduction: The Sandwich StructureThe teaching explores Mark 5:21-43, utilizing a literary "sandwich" structure. This technique frames the story of the hemorrhaging woman within the narrative of Jairus and his dying daughter. The two accounts are inextricably linked to illustrate a singular lesson on the nature of faith versus fear.II. The Outer Layer: Jairus' DesperationJairus, a synagogue leader, approaches Jesus in a state of crisis. His daughter is at the point of death. His faith is characterized by urgency and a specific request for physical touch ("lay your hands on her"). Jesus agrees to go, but the journey is immediately interrupted.III. The Center: The Hemorrhaging WomanA woman suffering for 12 years—physically, financially, and socially—seeks healing in secret. • The Mixed Faith: She believes touching Jesus' garment is sufficient, bordering on a superstitious view of his clothing.• The Public Correction: Jesus refuses to let the healing remain private. He calls her out not to embarrass her, but to correct her "confused faith." He clarifies that it was not the garment, but her faith in Him that made her whole.IV. The Resolution: From Fear to BeliefThe delay caused by the woman leads to the news that Jairus' daughter has died. Jesus provides the core thesis of the message: "Do not fear, only believe." He enters the home, excludes the mourning crowd, and raises the girl, demonstrating absolute authority over death and timing.Key Scripture References• Mark 5:21-43: The primary text covering Jairus' daughter and the hemorrhaging woman.• Mark 1:15: The call to repent and believe the gospel.• Mark 11:22: The command to "Have faith in God," emphasizing the correct object of faith.• Hebrews 11:1: The definition of faith as the assurance of things hoped for and conviction of things not seen.Audience Reflection Section• The Object of Faith: Is your faith placed in "faith itself," or in a specific religious tradition, or is it placed squarely in the finished work of Christ?• Superstition vs. Trust: Do you treat spiritual practices as "charms" to ensure a good outcome (like the woman touching the hem), or do you trust the Person of Jesus regardless of the immediate circumstances?• The Problem of Delay: How do you respond when Jesus seems "interrupted" or delayed in answering your crisis? Can you maintain belief when the situation moves from "critical" to "too late"?Actionable Takeaways• Audit Your Traditions: Identify if any personal or church traditions have become "sacraments" or superstitions that you rely on more than Christ Himself.• Choose Faith Over Fear: In moments of crisis, consciously replace the physiological response of fear with the theological commitment to trust Jesus' timing.• Clarify the Gospel: Move beyond "platitudes" (e.g., "Jesus in your heart") to a specific understanding of the Gospel: Christ's death for sin and His resurrection as the victory over death.• Community Engagement: Note the upcoming Men's Bible Study (Romans) and the Men's Breakfast to foster grounded theological community 

Jairus risks his reputation to plead with Jesus. And when all hope seems lost, Jesus still shows up. This message is for those on the edge—wondering if it's too late.

Jesus regularly changed lives, not in crowds but in proximity—one person at a time. In this first week of our One at a Time series, we explore how following Jesus means noticing who is already right in front of us. For the One vision: Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we will walk with each one in our communities so that together we experience life as Jesus meant it to be. If we want to live out this vision it has to start small. It starts near. It starts now. It starts with one person. Opener: 1. If you could instantly master one “people skill” (remembering names, listening well, small talk, etc.), what would it be and why? 2. Think of a time you were around someone—maybe a coworker, neighbor, or even someone in your family—and later realized you barely connected with them. What are your feelings around that experience?    Discussion Questions: 1. Read Luke 8:40–42, 49–56. What stands out to you about Jesus being interrupted on the way to Jairus' house? What might your reactions be in this situation? 2. Read Mark 5:25–34. Why does Jesus allow himself to be interrupted by the bleeding woman when He is already on an urgent mission? How might God be working in what feels like interruptions in your life right now? 3. In the sermon, we talked about the great power of availability. Do you agree with this notion? How could this challenge the way our culture defines importance or significance? 4. Share about a time when someone made themselves available to you in a meaningful way. What lessons can you take from that experience? 5. The sermon emphasized “proximity” as a key part of following Jesus. Who are 1–2 people that God has already placed in your “proximity” this season? Go Deeper: 1. If “loving your neighbor” is less about finding the right person and more about responding to your current proximity, how does that change how you view your everyday schedule? 2. What might be keeping you from fully engaging with the people God has already placed near you (distraction, busyness, discomfort, assumptions, etc.)? When do you find it hardest to engage with people in your daily life?    Live It Out: 1.Spiritual Practice: Set a daily silent alarm. When it goes off, pause and pray for whoever is closest to you at that moment. 2. Practicing Presence Tip: When you feel rushed or distracted, slow down and notice who's in front of you. 3. Holy Inconvenience: Skip the drive-thru or self-checkout once this week. Take time to go inside and have a real interaction with someone. Reflection:  Take this short survey to help you reflect on your relationship with the Holy Spirit and help us better support and equip you. Thank you! Note: This may look familiar from last fall. If so, take this survey again to reflect on your growth and understanding of the Holy Spirit as we progress through our For the One vision. Your email will only be used to send you a copy of your response. Prayer Prompt: Invite each person in the group to quietly identify one person by first name. Pray this prayer together: Lord, open my eyes to see (this person) the way You see them. Give me awareness of their needs, courage to move toward them, and love that reflects Jesus in my proximity. Amen. 

Are you spiritually dead or alive in Christ? That is the deep and personal question Pastor Roderick Webster opens up in this devotion from Ephesians chapter two, using the King James Version of the Bible.In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through the powerful contrast Paul draws in Ephesians two between the walk of the unregenerate person, dead in trespasses and sins, and the walk of the believer who has been made alive through God's grace and love.You might be asking:- What does it mean to be spiritually dead?- Can a person look alive on the outside but be dead on the inside?- What changed when God said "but God" in Ephesians two verse four?- How does the story of Jairus' daughter connect to our spiritual condition?Key points from this devotion:- Every person without Christ is spiritually dead, not just struggling- The word "quickened" means made alive, spiritually, not physically- God's rich mercy and great love broke through our spiritual deadness- Jesus has power over physical death, and over spiritual death too- Our walk changed from sin to love the moment Christ saved usIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with a friend, and subscribe so you never miss an episode of Words From The Word.WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:

Pastor Kevin teaches from Luke 8:40–56, focusing on the theme of desperate faith through the accounts of Jairus and the woman with the flow of blood. In this Bible teaching, he walks through how both individuals, coming from very different circumstances, are brought to Jesus in their need and how that desperation becomes the place where faith is expressed. Pastor Kevin connects these moments to the broader message of the gospel, pointing to the cross as the clearest demonstration of God's love and His willingness to save. The teaching highlights how Jesus responds to sincere faith, even when it is a last resort, and how He meets both physical and spiritual need. Through this passage in Luke, listeners are reminded that it is never too late to come to Christ and trust Him.

Ghost and Ashe in America break down Season 3 Episode 4 of The Choice, a powerful transitional chapter that highlights the apostles stepping into their calling. As they go out two by two, performing miracles and spreading the message, the episode explores faith in action, the weight of responsibility, and the humanity behind divine purpose. The conversation dives into the tension between belief and fear through the story of Jairus and Youssef, examining what happens when truth collides with power structures. Themes of humility, imperfect vessels, and the slow, personal nature of transformation take center stage. The episode also reflects on how real change happens one heart at a time, not through instant awakening. This discussion connects biblical storytelling to modern parallels, emphasizing that faith, like influence, grows through patience, courage, and conviction.

Jesus and his disciples are crossing the sea. When they reach the other side, they are greeted by a man who is possessed, not just by one demon, but by many demons. While others attempted to bind and imprison this man who caused so much chaos, Jesus chooses to set him free, casting out the demons into a herd of pigs. This display of power freaks people out, and they ask Jesus to leave their region. Jesus and his disciples cross back to the other side of the sea where a leader of the synagogue meets Christ and begs him to come heal his sick daughter. On the way to heal her, a woman who wants to be healed touches Jesus' clothes, and instantly she made whole. As Jesus nears Jairus' house, he learns that she has died. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

This lesson uses the stories of Jairus's daughter and the woman with the issue of blood to show that faith in Jesus can overcome the biggest “mountains” in life. (pride, sickness, waiting, despair, ridicule, and even death.)  It emphasizes that both Jairus and the woman came to the same conclusion: only Jesus could truly help them, and real faith means trusting him even when the situation seems impossible.  Can we help you with your walk with God?

Mark 5:21-42 We live life FORWARD, but we understand life BACKWARDS.James 1:2-4 NIV Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.It is my confidence in the OUTCOME that helps me experience joy and peace in my UNCERTAINTY.Anchor #1: Your PROBLEM is Jesus' PRIORITY.Mark 5:23-24 pleading fervently with him. “My little daughter is dying,” he said. “Please come and lay your hands on her; heal her so she can live.” Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him.DESPERATION becomes the doorway for divine INTERVENTION.Your problem may be TOO BIG for you, but it is not TOO SMALL or COMPLICATED for Him.Anchor #2: God's DELAY doesn't equal God's DENIAL.Faith is not just trusting God, faith is trusting God's timing.2 Peter 3:8 But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”—Corrie Ten BoomAnchor #3: In dealing with our CONCERNS, Jesus will usually address our COMMUNITY.Mark 5:35-37 While he was still speaking to her, messengers arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. They told him, “Your daughter is dead. There's no use troubling the Teacher now.” But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don't be afraid. Just have faith.” Then Jesus stopped the crowd and wouldn't let anyone go with him except Peter, James, and John (the brother of James).Not everybody gets ACCESS to the room where God is BUILDING your faith.Some people are meant to celebrate the miracle AFTER IT HAPPENS, but they are not meant to stand in the room WHILE IT HAPPENS.Anchor #4: The coming PURPOSE is worth the current PAIN.Mark 5:41-42 Holding her hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!” And the girl, who was twelve years old, immediately stood up and walked around! They were overwhelmed and totally amazed.God does not waste PAIN, it always has a PURPOSE.2 Corinthians 4:16-17 That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Life rarely follows our carefully laid plans, but interruptions aren't always inconveniences - they might be divine interventions. In Mark 5, Jesus encounters a demon-possessed man, heals a woman who had suffered for twelve years, and raises Jairus's daughter from the dead. Each situation involved unexpected interruptions that seemed to derail plans but actually revealed God's power and timing. The key question isn't whether interruptions will come, but how we'll respond when they do. Instead of viewing disruptions as frustrations, we can choose to see them as opportunities for God to work in ways we never imagined. When life gets derailed, we're invited to fall at Jesus' feet in complete surrender, trusting that He has power over every situation we face.  

In this powerful message from Luke 8:40–56, we see two very different people—Jairus, a desperate father, and a woman suffering for twelve years—united by one thing: a desperate faith for a miracle. When time runs out and every option is exhausted, desperation becomes the doorway to encountering Jesus in a life-transforming way.This sermon challenges us to move past fear, excuses, and disappointment, and instead press through every obstacle to reach Jesus. Desperate faith doesn't stop—it keeps walking, even when circumstances say it's too late. Jesus' call is clear: “Do not be afraid; only believe.”

Do you have some giants in your life right now—some people or situations that are way bigger than you are? Some obstacles you don't know how to overcome? We all have them at times, and I've noticed usually God leads us to fight the giants in our lives in the most unusual ways. It almost always goes against human logic. We must learn to walk by faith and trust the Holy Spirit within us to give us guidance, and then not doubt it when others say “That’s not the way to do it,” or “Nobody has ever done it that way before.” There are times when we should ignore what others tell us. If you remember when Jesus was going to heal Jairus’ daughter, his friends came to him and said, “Don’t bother, she’s dead already.” But Jesus ignored what they said and told Jairus, Don’t be afraid; just believe (Mark 5:36). If you’re facing a giant in your life right now, use your slingshot like David did when he faced Goliath; don’t try to wear someone else’s armor. And ignore those who would tell you otherwise. Maybe the battle is over, and you are victorious. Remember what David said before he fought Goliath: All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s and he will give all of you into our hands (1 Samuel 17:47). When your battle is over and God has given you victory, please remember it was the Lord’s battle, not yours, and he gave you the skill, talent, and wisdom to know how to fight and be victorious. Give him all the glory. I think we can all relate to David. Because he was who he was—the way God had created him—and used the skills he had learned, he killed the giant. I hope you'll remember this illustration from David's life to inspire you to use your slingshot—God's gifts in you to do what he has called you to do. Go into the battle without fear, knowing it's not your battle. It is the Lord's, and you can face that giant equipped by God to win the victory.

Jairus came to Jesus with an urgent plea ?' his daughter was on the brink of death. But on the way to heal her, Jesus was stopped by a woman in desperate need of her own miracle. What happened next?

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.

This exploration from Assistant Pastor Dillon Meadway on Sunday, March 29th 2026, takes us through a series of interconnected miracles in Mark chapters 4 and 5, revealing faith as the kingdom's greatest weapon. We journey from Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee to delivering a demon-possessed man, healing a woman with an issue of blood, and raising Jairus's daughter from death. Each miracle builds upon the last, teaching us that God holds authority over nature, spiritual forces, disease, and even death itself. The storm on the sea becomes a profound metaphor for the chaos we face in life, reminding us that while we frantically try to bail water out of our sinking boats, Jesus remains present with us. The message challenges our natural tendency to focus on external circumstances rather than the internal power of faith God has placed within us through His Spirit. What stands out is the consistent question Jesus poses throughout these encounters: Where is your faith? This isn't a rebuke but an invitation to trust Him even when everything around us screams that we should panic. The woman who touched Jesus's garment demonstrates that sometimes we need to push through the crowd, take a risk, and reach out with desperate faith. When Jairus receives the devastating news that his daughter has died, Jesus speaks those transformative words: Do not be afraid, only believe. This becomes the culmination of everything we've learned, that faith smaller than a mustard seed can move mountains and bring life where death seems to have the final word.

Journey with Jairus & a Sick Woman | Dominique Tinsley

In Mark 5:25-34, the story of Jairus' daughter's healing is interrupted by a woman suffering from chronic bleeding. Through her interruption, we see what happens when nothing we do can stop our suffering. The answer is not found in ourselves, but in coming to the end of ourselves and placing our faith in the One who can truly heal what is broken. Key Verses: Mark 5:25-34

Easter Series 2026: Eyewitnesses of Jesus Part 1: John This Easter series begins by looking at the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus through the eyes of those who were closest to Him. And first, we see it through John, not as a title of pride, but as a testimony of identity: I am the one Jesus loved. I. A Son of Thunder John didn't start soft, humble, or loving. He was bold, intense, and even prideful He and his brother James wanted positions of honor He was willing to call down fire on people who rejected Jesus John was passionate…but misplaced. Yet Jesus didn't reject him, He transformed him. II. The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved John wasn't just another follower, he was invited into deeper moments: Jairus' house - witnessing miracles The Transfiguration - seeing Jesus in glory Gethsemane - seeing Jesus in sorrow The Last Supper - leaning close to Jesus John didn't earn this closeness, he simply stayed near. And instead of labeling himself by his past, he chose a new identity: “The one Jesus loved.” III. Faithful to the End When others fled…John stayed. He stood at the cross He witnessed the suffering He was entrusted with caring for Jesus' mother Love kept him present when fear drove others away. IV. A Transformed Elder The same “Son of Thunder” became the apostle of love. “Let us love one another, for love is of God…” - 1 John 4 John's life became proof of this truth: When you truly experience the love of Jesus, you don't stay the same. His story isn't just about who he was…it's about who he became. He could have said: “I'm the one who wanted power.”...“I'm the one who got it wrong.”...But instead, he chose this identity: “I am the one Jesus loved.” Jesus wants you to know that your past doesn't define you and your mistakes don't name you. If you are in Christ, your identity is this: You are the one Jesus loves.

Whether you're 17 or 71, popular or struggling, put-together or barely hanging on—we all need the same thing. And His name is Jesus. We'll see that in this message from Pastor Greg Laurie! Notes: In Luke 8, we meet two very different people with two very different problems. If you feel like your life is falling apart, this story is for you. Read Luke 8:40–48 This poor woman had been in poor health for 12 years.This young girl, who was sick and near death, was 12 years old. Luke 8:41 (NLT)[Jairus] came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with Him to come home with him. We all should want Jesus to come home with us. Parents: the best thing you can do is get your children to Jesus. Be faithful. Be consistent. Be present. Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (NLT)And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Every young person is looking for three things:a place to belong,a purpose to live for,and to be loved. Jairus had great faith in Christ. Then this woman burst on the scene.How easily Jairus could have resented this intrusion. Jesus is never late. He is always on time. This woman had been sick for 12 long years with no hope for a cure. Maybe you, too, need a healing touch from Jesus right now.Reach out to Him as this desperate woman did. Jesus literally said, “Who touched Me on my clothes?I felt in myself the power going out from Me.” The Bible says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you!”(James 4:8) Read Luke 8:49–50 Jairus heard these dreadful words, “Your daughter is dead.” But Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.” Jairus had to choose which voice to listen to. “Fear not, for I am with you; I will strengthen you.”(Isaiah 41:10) “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”(John 14:27) “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”(Hebrews 13:5) “I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil.”(Jeremiah 29:11) How do you hear the voice of God?By opening the Bible. Read Luke 8:51–53 God doesn’t just care about your afterlife.​He also cares about you in this life. 1 Timothy 6:17b (ESV)God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. John 5:24"I tell you the truth, those who listen to My message and believe in God who sent Me have eternal life. They pass from death to life.” The woman needed Jesus.Jairus needed Jesus.That little 12-year-old girl needed Jesus.And so do you. Turn to Jesus.

A life of faith is radical—it calls us to trust God in ways that feel impossible. But faith is only as strong as its object.In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul explores the stories of Jairus and the bleeding woman, showing how placing their faith in Jesus made all the difference.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

Jairus heard two voices and had to choose which one to heed. The first, from the servants in Luke 8:49,...
