Jairus and the Woman

One of the great experiences we have in Christ is, “We never know what tomorrow brings.” And yes, tomorrow can hold some unwanted bad turns in life. It is a fallen world. BUT in Christ we can have a hope that our Savior, the Creator of all things, has some good things for us in our tomorrow. He can change our circumstances in a moment for good. Today we look at people who experienced such a change. Join me as we look at Jairus daughter and the woman with the issue of blood. ———————————————————————————————Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, events, etc:https://nbcc.com/church-essentialsConnect with us on Social Media:Instagram: instagram.com/nbccnorcoTikTok: tiktok.com/@nbccnorcoFacebook: facebook.com/nbccnorcoYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6S-3n9PVnXm8zSPHAYVyGwWebsite: https://www.nbcc.com/----------------------------------------If you have any prayer requests or questions, please message us on our social media or send us an email at nbcc@nbcc.com.

In Part 2 of his story, Joel and Braden explore with Jairus what it means to be consistently Christian in a world that doesn't always understand. Jairus doesn't shy away from the hard stuff. He talks about his family's story—his parents' long struggle to have children, the miracle of his birth, and how people he now meets in Adelaide still tell him they prayed for him before he was born. He shares how traveling to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and India as a young kid exposed him to real suffering and gave him perspective that keeps him grounded when peers at school "carry on like clowns" without realising how blessed they are.The conversation explores what it's like when your mates already know not to invite you out on Saturday nights because you'll be at church and late night youth. Jairus explains why he never changes how he acts around non-Christian friends, why living consistently matters more than immediate conversions, and how standing out as different—"What are you doing Saturday? I'm going to church"—plants seeds that might grow 20 years later.We also hear about youth leading, building relationships with Year 10 boys who don't come to church but show up every Friday, and the reward of seeing two of them start coming to church. Jairus shares about running at national championships in Adelaide with his grandfather watching,  who FaceTimed him every day and he struggled through lockdown and then witnessed God's work culminating in baptism and representing NSW. And he reflects on the Easter Sunday when he baptized his brother Zach in the river, a moment that became a core memory.Jairus's simple affirmation through chaos? "Life sucks, but God's got me."This is Part 2 of Jairus' story. Listen to Part 1 for Jairus's journey through lockdown, discovering running as meditation, and how discipline carried him through the HSC.

We chat with Jairus just days after he finishes his HSC. Apart from discussing the post-exam haze and the pressure surrounding university admissions, they discuss Jairus' faith journey, his baptism and the role of faith in overcoming challenges.Jairus shares how his faith has been tested by his grandmother's illness and how running and a supportive community helped him through difficult times. The conversation also delves into the impact of COVID lockdowns on teenagers, particularly the challenges of isolation and identity formation and the importance of his faith-based community and the unique relationships he has formed at Soul Revival.

In this episode of the Greenbook Podcast, host Karen Lynch sits down with Jairus Lofton, Senior Manager of Strategic Insights at Panera Bread, to unpack how human-centered insights power menu innovation in QSR and fast casual. Jairus traces his journey from Hershey to Sonic, McDonald's, and now Panera, sharing a behind-the-scenes case study on rebuilding Sonic's core burger from the ground up using guest feedback, quant modeling, and rigorous testing.He explains how culinary inspiration, trend data, and real-world operations come together to decide what actually makes it onto the menu—and stays there. Jairus also talks about serving younger consumers like Gen Z without chasing every shiny trend, why brand authenticity matters more than ever, how AI fits (and doesn't) into his process, and the philosophy of “flexibility with rigor” that guides his work and advice for other insights professionals.Key Discussion Points:How strategic insights at Panera Bread shape menu innovation, from guest feedback to foresight and trend spotting.A deep-dive case study: rebuilding Sonic's flagship burger based on consumer dissatisfaction, competitive benchmarking, and CLT/taste tests.The complex cross-functional ecosystem behind “menu magic”: insights, strategy, culinary, supply chain, and marketing working in lockstep.Balancing trend reports, social listening, and culinary creativity to decide which food trends are worth scaling—and which to skip.Adapting to Gen Z's desires for transparency, customization, and unique flavors while staying authentic to the Panera brand.Jairus's advice to insights pros: cross-industry networking, borrowing ideas from other categories, and practicing “flexibility with rigor.”Resources & Links:Panera Bread – Brand & MenuThe Hershey Company (early career in retail sales & CPG)CAVA (example of fast-casual brand resonating with younger consumers)7 Brew Coffee (emerging drive-thru coffee brand mentioned in the episode)You can reach out to Jairus Lofton on LinkedIn.Many thanks to Jairus Lofton for being our guest.

There is no cure for death. Jesus said to believe; so, Jairus must have believed, right? Can you imagine the waves of hopeless that must have washed against his faith as they hurried on to his house? You can believe while there is still life, but can you believe when life has gone? May God bless you as you engage in worship.

St. Luke 8: 41-56 Drawing on St. Nikolai Velimirović's image of divine grace as electricity, this homily on the raising of Jairus' daughter (Luke 8:41–56) invites us to become  living conduits through whom God's uncreated energy continually flows. Christ's tender command, "Talitha koum," reveals the greater reality that in Him even death is but sleep, for the fire of His love transforms all who see with eyes full of light into partakers of His eternal life. Homily on Jairus' Daughter  St. Luke 8:41–56 Glory to Jesus Christ! It is a blessing to be with you this morning. I have really appreciated your hospitality throughout this weekend. In his homily on this beautiful event in the history of our salvation, St Nikolai Velimirović compares our Lord to electricity—or perhaps to magnetism, and to light. What he is describing is what we in the West call grace. The idea is that the Lord's uncreated energy – His spiritual electricity - is continually available; and those who allow themselves to be connected to Him become receptacles and conduits of that spiritual electricity—of that grace, of that beautiful light.  We see this especially at Pascha, when the priest sings "Come receive the light," and one candle lights another, and the flame spreads from person to person. Magnetism is a similar image: not only does it attract, but it also bestows magnetism in a lesser degree to some of the objects it touches. This a lovely and apt metaphor—though, as St Nikolai warns, don't take it too far or you'll end up spouting heresy– for instance, a screwdriver that has received magnetism from a magnetic source retains the magnetism even after the source is removed.  As we discussed yesterday, anything that is removed from the Source of Divine Energy loses its spiritual life.  Going back to the metaphor of electricity, our hope is not to become a sort of battery that receives grace and then stores it separate from its source; rather, our hope is to increasingly become pure conduits of divine energy through whom it continually flows.  Switching metaphors again, Jesus Christ describes this as living water in the Gospel according to St. John when He says; If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (St. John 7:37; also St. John 4:14) The grace that we share as Christians is flowing to and through us from its source, and that source is God. There is another lesson here.  St. Nikolai points out that there were many people in the crowd that day, but only one was healed. Let me develop a point from yesterday's talk.  You may remember my sharing that the scripture about the newly healed blind man seeing "trees walking" as a metaphor for our need to work on seeing the world as it really is.      A related scriptural metaphor from Christ Himself has to do with the "eye of darkness;"    "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" (St. Matthew 6:22-23). In part, these are eyes that fail to see the Lord even when He is present among us. Imagine that He turned to you and healed you after you had endured fourteen years of suffering. How would you respond? Lord willing, you would respond with thanksgiving and joy; a thanksgiving and joy that never fades. But the eye of darkness might quickly slip from thankfulness and joy back into bitterness and think or say: "Where have you been these fourteen years?" Do you see the trap? Do you see how such a response, such an attitude, misses the whole point of God's work among us — it's kind of like saying to Christ the God-man when He appears in His glory to bring us into His Kingdom; "O Lord, I thought you'd be taller." The eye of darkness is a terrible thing. For those who see truly, the world is permeated with the grace of God.  Let us strive increasingly to the world with these eyes of light. Another lesson the Fathers draw from this story is that the healing itself wasn't even the main point. Do you remember the plot line we are following in the Gospel lesson? A ruler of the synagogue—a leader of the Jews—comes to Christ and begs: "My daughter lies dying. Please come to our house." As the Lord goes with him, the crowd presses in around Him. And even along the way, miracles happen. This is a lesson we need to learn: with the Lord, there is no such thing as "along the way." His grace is always active. Every moment with Him is transformed in Him and by Him.  For the Christian, every moment of grace is an experience of eternal glory… and that moments lead in time to the next which is similarly transformed and transformative. For the Christian, after such an encounter, there is no darkness left to return to, only life in Christ so full that we can say with St Paul, "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." (Galatians 2:20)  When we are connected to Him in this way, His grace—like living water, or electricity, or magnetism, or light—flows through us and straightening our connections with the world around us. This is what St Seraphim of Sarov meant when he said, "Acquire the Holy Spirit, and thousands around you will be saved."   And this is the same things that we celebrate in the life of St. Nektarios, whose memory we celebrate today, when we proclaim this verse at Orthros: "Since thou drunkest the nectar of life eternal, thou gushest, O Nektarios, streams of healings. Again, there is no such thing as being merely "on the way"; rather, all of life is "along the Way"—in Christ, growing in Him forever.  Every moment is an opportunity to grow and share in this, the great Mystery of the Sacrament of our salvation. Now, about this man—Jairus. Jairus had great power in his community and a relationship with God through the Law. Yet here he found himself powerless in the face of death. Everyone who tries to find salvation through secular power or the Law alone eventually meets that same limit. At that time, the Jews were deeply divided over what death meant and whether there was truly a resurrection. So this became a teaching moment for the Lord. The other Gospels describe how the mourners had gathered, the flutes were playing lamentations, and the house was filled with grief. A twelve-year-old girl—the only child of a leader in the community—had died. And Jairus, for all his authority, was utterly powerless. To make the moment even more striking, Jesus said something that caused the people to laugh Him to scorn: "She is not dead, but sleeping."  He said this precisely so that they would affirm—beyond any doubt—that she was truly dead: the body cold, the breath gone. And then, having confirmed the reality of death, He revealed the greater reality of life. He went in, took her by the hand with such tenderness; this pointed out most clearly in the version shared by St. Mark, in which he is recorded as having said in Aramaic, "Talitha koum"—literally, "Little lamb, arise." (Mark 5:41) "Talitha" is a term of affection, something like "little lambkin." And she arose and He told her parents to give her something to eat. All those who had mocked Him now faced undeniable evidence of a miracle. They could not rationalize it away or pretend they were mistaken. They had declared her dead—and now she was alive. There was only one explanation: the life-giving power of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Him is life, and in Him there can be no death. (John 1:4; John 11:25) Now, here is a more difficult lesson.  Some steak for us to chew on.  Jesus did not spend His earthly ministry going to every grieving parent to restore every child. I'm sure that's hard for you to hear—it's hard for me, too. But He did not come simply to prolong life in this world; He came to transfigure it. What good would it be to restore someone to this mortal life, only for them to die again after a few years? Instead, He performed this miracle so that we would know that when He says, "I go to prepare a [better] place for you," that He has the power to fulfill that promise. (John 14:2-3) There will be times—there have already been times—when we are the ones saying, "She is dead." But the Church uses a different language: "fallen asleep" and "in blessed repose." These are not naive phrases. They are reminders that for the Christian, death is but a rest before the age to come. (1 Thessalonians 4:13–14) And honestly, we long for that age, don't we? Life in this world can be exhausting —wars, suffering, the loss of children, — all the griefs that weigh us down. But as we sing in our funeral service; in the age to come, there will be "no sighing, no sorrow, no sickness, but life everlasting"  This is the time, quoting both the funeral and Revelation, "God will wipe away every tear." If I may change metaphors one last time: our God, who was earlier described as electricity, is also called a consuming fire. (Deuteronomy 4:24; Hebrews 12:29) Those of us raised in the South have heard preachers use that image as a warning. But for the Christian—for the ones who live in Christ so completely that it is no longer they who live but Christ who lives in them (Galatians 2:20)—that fire is not torment but glory. It is the radiant warmth of divine love. For those purified by grace, the fire of God becomes the very source of joy and life. So when you find yourself saying, "Our beloved, our little lamb, is dead," remember this: our Lord, who loves our beloved even more than we do, holds her hand and says, just as He did in today's Gospel, "My dearest one, arise." That is the future that awaits all who have given their lives to Him. May we be strengthened by this as we grow in Him. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Gospel Reading: Luke 8:41-56At that time, there came to Jesus a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at Jesus' feet he besought him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As he went, the people pressed round him. And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and had spent all her living upon physicians and could not be healed by anyone, came up behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased. And Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter and those who were with him said, "Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!" But Jesus said, "Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me." And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace." While he was still speaking, a man from the ruler's house came and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more." But Jesus on hearing this answered him, "Do not fear; only believe, and she shall be well." And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child. And all were weeping and bewailing her; but he said, "Do not weep; for she is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But taking her by the hand he called, saying, "Child, arise." And her spirit returned, and she got up at once; and he directed that something should be given her to eat. And her parents were amazed; but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.

Acts 9.32-43. The early church continues to grow in numbers and expand outwards under Peter and the other apostles' leadership. Many signs and wonders are done in Jesus' name as they preach the gospel. But raising the dead? Peter had witnessed Jesus raising Jairus' daughter in Luke 8. But now he is asked to raise a dead woman named Tabitha. Will this challenge prove to be a bridge too far? 9 November 2025.

The episode concludes with prayer and encouragement, as Hunter calls listeners to embrace God's gift of life, walk forward in joy, and remember that they are truly loved. Join us for Scripture, reflection, and a fresh reminder of hope for your day. TODAY'S DEVOTION: She came empty-handed, yet full of hope. In the crowd that pressed around Jesus, no one noticed her—not the way they noticed Jairus, the esteemed synagogue ruler, with status and recognition. He could approach Jesus openly, likely with little resistance. But for the bleeding woman, it wasn't that way. Her life had been reduced to poverty and pain, every resource spent with nothing but disappointment in return. She had lost everything. But still, she held on to a fragile thread of faith—if I can just touch the edge of his robe, I will be healed. It may have felt to her that she was taking something to which she had no right, reaching for what belonged only to those with something to give in return. And yet, she pressed through, believing for mercy, grasping what seemed almost like stealing a gift she could not afford. At the moment her hand met Jesus' cloak, healing power flowed. She was freed from her suffering—but also overcome with fear, feeling as if she had taken something not hers to take. Yet Jesus, in kindness and compassion, called her forward—not to shame her, but to claim her. "Daughter, your faith has made you well," he declared. He did not charge her for the healing. He did not turn her away. The gift was for her: free, abundant, and full of grace. Many of us know what it's like to feel as though life has emptied us out, left us with nothing to show for our efforts. Maybe, like her, we feel unworthy to receive or even approach Jesus. But today's gospel is clear: his gifts are not earned; they are given. When we come, with whatever faith we have left, he meets us with blessing. Let us live in gratitude, not as thieves in his presence, but as recipients of gracious, abundant life. Jesus reminds us: take the healing, take the gift, walk in peace. Let us hear his words to us: "Daughter, son, your faith has made you well." That is a prayer I have for my own soul. That is a prayer I have for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And that is a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Daily Prayer from October 30th, 2025 Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. O Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image.

On Sunday, we will dive into Mark 11:12-25, a challenging passage to understand and interpret. As Mark has done before (and will do several more times), he places one story inside another. Jesus' cleansing of the temple is placed between His cursing of the fig tree. When Jesus finds no figs on the tree, He declares that no one will eat fruit from it again. The next day, they pass by the tree and see it withered to the root. Earlier, Mark "sandwiched" Jesus' healing of the woman with the issue of blood between the healing of Jairus' daughter, and just as in that passage, here the cleansing of the temple interprets the cursing of the fig tree. In the Old Testament, a fig tree and a vineyard were common symbols for Israel. Therefore, the cursing of the fig tree serves as a prophetic warning condemning the fruitless temple worship in Jerusalem, which Jesus will immediately address. The fig tree, full of leaves but bearing no fruit, and the temple, busy with activity but lacking true worship, both face Jesus' judgment. However, the interpretive challenges of this passage don't end there. When the disciples see the withered tree, Jesus begins teaching about prayer, faith, and forgiveness. Jesus' response to Peter, who notes that the fig tree is withered, might seem like Jesus is shifting to a new topic unrelated to the story. (And some believe He does.) However, I believe Jesus is beginning to teach the disciples what He will make clearer during His last week of life. The temple was the place where prayers were offered and accepted by God, and where forgiveness was found. Yet, Jesus has just pronounced judgment on the corruption of the temple's worship. How can prayers be offered, and forgiveness found, if not in the temple? Jesus' final words in this section (22-25) reveal that by faith, prayers are answered, mountains are moved, and forgiveness is both received and extended to others. Take time to read Mark 11:12-25 several times; it is a difficult passage with a high risk of misunderstanding. Most of the sermon will focus on explaining the text, but ultimately, we discover that as the church, we are now God's temple (both as a body -1 Co. 3:16-17; and as individual Christians - 1 Co. 6:19-20), called to bear fruit through praying in faith, forgiving as we are forgiven, and being a light for all nations.

This powerful message takes us deep into Mark chapter 5, where we encounter two intertwined stories that reveal profound truths about Jesus and our relationship with Him. Through what scholars call a 'Markan sandwich'—a literary technique where one story interrupts another—we discover three transformative lessons: Jesus flourishes in our wasted space, seeing divine opportunities where we see interruptions; Jesus shows no partiality, caring equally for the powerful synagogue ruler and the unnamed, broken woman; and Jesus is the friend who sticks closer than a brother, never abandoning us in our deepest need. The woman who suffered for twelve years and Jairus, whose twelve-year-old daughter lay dying, both had to overcome significant barriers to reach Jesus—she pushed past her shame, he pushed past his pride. These twin lies of pride and shame still guard the gates of grace today, whispering that we're either too good to need Jesus or too broken to deserve Him. But the beautiful truth is that Jesus came 100% of the way for us, leaving heaven, taking the nails, moving in close. Our only responsibility is to surrender, to fall at His feet in humble faith, believing He can do something about our pain and problems. Every moment has the potential to be sacred space when we walk with open eyes and tender hearts, ready for divine interruption.

Power UpMark 5:22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 23 and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. 24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. 25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? 36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. 37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. 39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. 40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. 41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment., King James VersionIn this episode, we are seeking the Lord on behalf of several right now issues that we are facing on this earth.

Lorenzo Cum -- The Healing of Jairus' Daughter

At some point, we all end up at the end of our rope. Sometimes it's our own fault. Sometimes it's not.  At those times – we feel that we need to do something – it's like the last roll of the dice …   Jesus Christ Superstar It is just fantastic to be with you again today and today we are going through the last message in a four week series called, "Taking God at His Word". God makes a whole bunch of promises in His Word about who we are in Christ. Jesus, when you think about it, is the "feel good" factor, but every time I get up and I say, “We need to feel good about who we are in Christ,” someone will come up to me afterwards and say, “No, no, no, we shouldn't talk that way. We're sinners; we shouldn't be full of ourselves. No, you shouldn't talk that way.” And my answer is, “Come on! Jesus came to give us abundant life – life to the full. He said, “When I set you free, you'll be free indeed.” And again, later, Paul, the Apostle, writes, “For freedom, we have been set free.” The whole point of Jesus dying on the cross to pay for our weaknesses and our failures – yeah our sin – and Him rising again, the whole point of that – the death and resurrection – is that we should have a new life – a fresh start when we put our faith in Him. That doesn't mean that there's a magic wand and nothing bad will ever happen to us and that we won't face adversity – no, it doesn't mean that. But it means that we can face everything that the world throws at us; that life throws at us and feel good about who we are in Jesus Christ. Since the day that Jesus came into my life, into my heart I have been able to feel good about myself. Not because of who I am; not because of what I've done but because who Jesus is and what He's done for me. We need to ditch the self-image – and we all have a self-image of who we are - sometimes that is an arrogant, pompous self-image, as mine was and sometimes it is such a low self-image. You know, people who suffer with low self-esteem have a low self-image. We need to take that and say that's the old man; that person is dead. I have a new image of who I am. I am made in the image of God and I am going to have a faith image. It is time, people, to take God at His Word. The first three programs in this series – firstly three weeks ago, we started off with a program called, ‘Come as you are' and we saw how God says that we have Jesus, the High Priest, who knows exactly what it's like to walk in our shoes, because He has and because of that, because of Jesus, we can and should come boldly before the throne of grace. It's like God's having a barbecue; God's having a party and it's "come as you are". It's not – let's change ourselves before we come to God – no, come as you are and let Him change us. Big step - take God at His Word! And then two weeks ago we looked at Ezekiel chapter 37, in a message called, "Can these bones live". We saw how God called Ezekiel to prophesy over Israel and to raise them up from being a valley full of dead bones, to being alive and full of God's life and full of God's breath and when we come to Him feeling dead; like a valley full of dry bones, that's exactly what He wants to do for us. It's time to take God at His Word! And last week we looked at overcoming adversity God's way. We saw how Israel had strayed yet again from God and in the Book of Malachi, God pointed out their sin and their failure and He gave them a way back, specifically for them, something that they could cope with and so they took God at His Word. Today we are going to look at another form of adversity. That adversity was a consequence of Israel's own rebellion against God and that happens – we do that sometimes, but this week I'd like to look at the sort of adversity that happens that's not our fault – when you get retrenched or someone you love dies or a relationship breaks down or sickness strikes us or we just feel this heaviness – the list can be as long as your arm. What happens to us on the inside is that we feel small and alone and insignificant and Jesus is Jesus, yes He's Jesus, but He's the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He's high and He's mighty and He created the whole universe. Does He have the time or the inclination or the will to help me when I'm in the middle of that? Yeah, I know, we know it in our heads, but in our hearts, right at those times? It can be so difficult to realise that God wants to help us. So we are going to look at someone that Jesus helped; it was the woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. He helped her when she was a nobody and when He was everybody - He was Jesus Christ, Superstar. Let's have a read; if you have a Bible, grab it and let's go to Mark chapter 5, beginning at verse 21. This is how it goes. When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around Him and He was by the sea. Then one of the leaders of the synagogue, named Jairus, came and when Jairus saw Jesus, he fell at His feet and begged Him repeatedly, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come, come and lay your hands on her so that she may be made well and live.” And so Jesus went with Jairus. A large crowd followed them and pressed in on Jesus. Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years. She had endured much under many physicians and had spent all that she had and she was no better, but rather she grew worse. She heard about Jesus and came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His cloak, because she said to herself, “If I can just touch His clothes I'll be made well.” Immediately, her hemorrhaging stopped and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. Immediately aware that power had gone out of Him, Jesus turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?” His disciples said to Him, “You can see the whole crowd is pressing in on you, how can you say, “Who touched me?” But Jesus looked all around to see who'd done it. The woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before Jesus and told Him the whole truth, and He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well, go in peace and be healed.” While He was still speaking, some people came from the leader's house, from Jairus's place to say “Your daughter is dead, don't trouble the teacher any further,” but overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, “Don't fear, only believe.” The crux of this story is that Jesus is walking along and the leader of a synagogue, Jairus, comes to Him because his daughter is dying and yet, what is going to Jairus's house which is a pressing need - the guy's daughter is dying – this woman stops Jesus on the way and He has time to spend with her. Look at the key players; there is a power play going on here in this story. The crowd, the disciples, Jairus, Jesus, the woman, Jairus's friends and of course, Jairus's daughter and we see that this huge crowd was following Jesus and Jesus had been doing miracle after miracle and so He was attracting a really huge crowd. I remember when I was a young boy and the Beatles came to town, and the crowds were all around. This, this is Jesus Christ Superstar, and yet He has time to stop for this woman.   Who's Got the Power We're looking today on the program at this story of the bleeding woman; this woman who'd be struggling and she'd been to doctors and she'd lost all her money – had been struggling for twelve years and Jesus comes to town; Jesus Christ Superstar, followed by this huge crowd. Jairus, the synagogue leader, gets to Him first and a power play happens. Let's just look at the woman and Jairus – just compare them. Here were two people that both came to Jesus with a need - Jairus, his daughter was dying. Well, that's a big need; there was an urgency around that. And this woman - this woman had been struggling for twelve years in sickness. Let's just do a bit of a comparison. In this first century, patriarchal society; on the one hand Jairus was a man, she was a woman and women in those days were often treated just as a possession. See it was a patriarchal society. He was the leader of a synagogue – he was a religious leader – he was somebody in this town. This woman, she had no position – he was respected, she was despised. He had an identity; we know his name – Jairus. Tell me, what was the woman's name? We don't read her name in the story; she had no identity, she was a nobody – we never get to find out what her name was. He was close to God; he was a leader in the synagogue, but she, she was an outcast. You say to me, “Berni, how do you know that she was an outcast; she was just a woman that was sick? No, no, no. She had been bleeding for twelve years and under to Mosaic Law, this woman was unclean and so she was an outcast. Just flip your Bible, if you have one, back to Leviticus, right at the beginning, in the law; in the Torah. This is the Jewish, Hebrew Law that was laid down under God's hand. The law under which Israel lived and in chapter 15 of Leviticus, verse 25, it says this: If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, not at the time of her impurity or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her impurity, all the days of her discharge she shall continue in uncleanness. As in the days of her impurity, she shall be unclean. Every bed, on which she lies during all the days of her discharge, shall be treated as the bed of her impurity and everything on which she sits, shall be unclean as in the uncleanness of her impurity. Who ever touches these things shall be unclean and shall wash his clothes and bathe in water as be unclean until the evening. If she is cleansed of her discharge, she shall count seven days and after that she shall be clean. On the eighth day she shall take two turtle doves or two pigeons and bring them to the priest, to the entrance to the Tent of the Meeting and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering and the priest shall make atonement on her behalf, before the Lord, on her behalf for her unclean discharge. Thus you shall keep the people of Israel separate from their uncleanness, so that they do not die in their uncleanness by defiling my tabernacle that is in their midst. Seems bizarre to us, right? This woman was sick; you know, she was discharging blood; it wasn't just her normal period. She was sick for a long time, but the law said she was unclean and if anyone came into contact with her or anything she'd touched, they were unclean. So she was a social outcast for those twelve years. We know about Jairus; he had family and friends and home. We don't find out anything about the woman. We know that Jairus had a daughter who was twelve years old and yet this woman had suffered for that same period – twelve years. We know that there was risk for Jairus; he was a synagogue leader – he threw himself down before Jesus. We will look at that a bit later. There was risk for the woman too because she was pressing through the crowd and everyone she touched became unclean. If they knew that, they might not be so happy with her. And for both of them it was a last resort. For Jairus, his daughter was dying. For this woman, she tried everything, it was a last resort and they both came to Jesus in faith. So on the one hand you had this man of power and position and status and family - he had everything except his daughter was dying. On the other hand you had a woman with no name, who's unclean, who's an outcast and they both came to Jesus in faith. You had the greatest and the least – Jairus and the bleeding woman. That's the point of these two people. Well, who's got the power? Jesus arrives back from being across the sea and He comes back and He lands and there's a big, big crowd and Jairus, who is known by all the people in the crowd, comes and throws himself down before Jesus. Jesus has been doing some radical things. He'd been healing; people were upset with Him and yet Jairus bows down before Him and puts the power in Jesus hands. And Jesus is coming with Jairus and now Jesus has the power; Jesus has the status. Jairus has bowed down before Jesus and elevated Him by so doing and Jesus chooses to use the power for this woman. The amazing thing is that she came to Him, Jesus Christ Superstar, the crowd pressing in; Jesus is rushing off through this crowd. I imagine the disciples were like bouncers, you know, kind of clearing everyone away – “we're in a hurry, this Jairus guy's daughter is dying, let's get Jesus there before she dies.” And Jesus has time to spend with her. We'll look at how astounding that is when she touched Him in faith and His power flowed into her and she was healed. We'll look at the really astounding thing about that, next.   The Whole Truth Well we are working our way through this story of the woman who was sick for twelve years and she touched Jesus from a crowd and she was healed. Healing takes us all by surprise but what happened here for this woman is she came to Jesus in faith; she just took Him at His Word; and in the crowd where, when Jesus was rushing off with Jairus; this man of power and position, to go and heal his daughter who was dying. And the disciples were kind of being like bouncers just to get Him through the crowds. This woman touches Jesus and He stops and He turns around and He says, “Who touched me?” and the disciples laugh at Him and say, “Come on, Jesus, like there's a crowd around you. What's the matter with you – who touched you?” but He wasn't perturbed, He wanted to know who touched Him. Look at verse 33 of Mark chapter 5, if you have a Bible. It says this: The woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. The whole truth; literally, all the truth. I looked it up in a Greek dictionary. That word ‘all' means each, every, any, all, the whole, everything, all things, anything, the whole cotton-picking lot! Hmm. Twelve years she's been bleeding, she's been suffering, she's been going to doctors, she's an outcast, she's segregated, she can't worship with anyone else in the synagogue – pretty rough trot this woman's had for twelve years and let's face it, there was no hot and cold running water so she probably stank too and people talked about her. She told Jesus the whole truth. Now Jesus is rushing off to heal Jairus's daughter who's dying, the crowd stops – everything stops – like – stop!! And Jesus is focused on the woman and she bows down before Him in fear and trembling and she tells Him the whole truth. Now how long do you think it took her to tell the whole truth? It wasn't just a minute or two. The whole truth, she told Him the whole story; all the pain, everything that had happened over those twelve years. My hunch is it took at least five to ten minutes, maybe a bit more. I've often taken this passage and had people play-act it out in churches and whenever I've asked a woman to play this role and tell the whole truth, it's taken at least five to ten minutes. What about Jairus's daughter – they're rushing off – she's dying? How do you think Jairus is feeling in the middle of this five to ten to fifteen minutes of pause on the way to heal his daughter who's dying? I'm Jairus, I'm a synagogue leader, my daughter is dying, Jesus, come on. This is just some woman, you know, some nameless woman, who's unclean, come back to her later. Jairus had begged Jesus repeatedly to come with him; there's urgency – but on the way Jesus has time to stop for a nobody. Don't you love that? Jesus stopped and listened as though He had time a plenty. And He was so pleased with her – He said to her, “Daughter, your faith as made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your disease.” Jesus stopped for the nobody, but while He was still speaking, the friends of Jairus came and said, “Jairus, sorry but your kid's dead. Don't bring Jesus over, it's just too late.” In other words, there was the greatest and the least; Jairus and the woman. And as we see later in the story - we won't read it all today, but Jesus went and He raised Jairus's daughter from the dead. But when He was dealing with the greatest and the least, position made no difference to Him. Status made no difference to Him, man or woman, synagogue leader or nobody, clean or unclean – He didn't care, in fact He put the least first. And at the end of the day, Jesus had enough for both of them – it wasn't one or the other. You know, when we are struggling – this woman was going through hell for twelve years – our problems may not be like hers but our problems are our problems and they seem just as big and just as painful and we look around and we think, “This Jesus Christ Superstar, He's out there for someone else – He's going to heal the synagogue leader; He's going to do the stuff for the super Christian over there but me… you know, it's just little old me in my dark little hole, with all my pain and problems and Jesus is never going to do anything for me – this is God's Word; this is God's Word and it says this is what God looks like. Jesus said if you want to see the Father, look at me because you have seen the Father. Later on in the Book of Hebrews, in chapter 1, it says that Jesus is the exact imprint or the exact image of God. Jesus Christ Superstar heard the father's plea for the daughter, He went with the father and yet He delayed and stopped and listened to and blessed the very least. What got them both a miracle? What was it for Jairus and for this woman that got them both a miracle? It wasn't position, it wasn't status - it was a desperate last roll of the dice, faith in Jesus Christ. That was what Jesus praised her for – He said, “Daughter, your faith has made you well, go in peace.” And later on Jesus says to Jairus, “Don't listen to them, don't be afraid, just believe in me. Just continue that faith that brought you to a point of bowing down before me in that crowd, when everyone could have laughed at you; take that faith and hang onto that thought and let me do a miracle for you in your life.” This is God's Word. God is telling us through this story more powerfully than He could in any other words, what He is like – “This is what I am like for you, I don't care whether you are the greatest or the least, I don't care whether you are a man or a woman, I don't care whether your adversity is any bigger or worse than anyone else's, I'm here for you, here and now; here for your pain, here for your sick daughter, here for your particular situation and it doesn't matter who you are, come to me, touch me in faith, cry out to me in faith and let me be the miracle working God in your life. What's going on in your life at the moment; what pain, what need, what fear, what miracle do you need? Can I encourage you to look at this picture of Jesus; this picture of God and to cast the eyes of your soul upon this Jesus and in faith to say, “Lord, I need your help.” It is time to take God at His Word.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to step out in faith and believe in the God of impossibility. The story of Peter healing Aeneas and raising Tabitha from the dead in Acts 9 serves as a compelling reminder that God is still in the business of miracles. We're encouraged to be available and interruptible, just as Peter was, allowing God to use us in unexpected ways. The parallel drawn between these events and Jesus raising Jairus' daughter emphasizes that what seems impossible to us is merely 'sleeping' to God. This message urges us to reflect on areas in our lives where we've stopped believing for the miraculous, perhaps because we've curated our lives so carefully that we no longer need faith. Are we willing to trust God for the impossible, even when it means stepping out of our comfort zones? This teaching reminds us that God's name is not 'I was' but 'I AM' - He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, capable of doing the extraordinary in our ordinary lives.

In her message “Lord of Our Expectations”, Kayla Anderson explores how our desire for control and specific outcomes often limits our faith. Through the stories of Jairus and the bleeding woman, she shows that Jesus rarely meets expectations the way we plan but He always offers something greater: His presence, compassion, and power. Kayla encourages believers to trust who Jesus is, not just what He can do, choosing to stay in His presence, Word, people, and surrender even when prayers seem unanswered, because His character and companionship exceed every expectation.

Lesson 3 - The One Who has the VictoryMark 4:35 – 6:6. This lesson pictures the complete victory Jesus offers us. He rules over nature, over demons, even over death itself. He is Lord over all. But Mark reminds us it's also about what do we do with the claims of Christ. We can accept them like Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood, receiving what He promises and more. Or we can reject them like the Gerasenes and the people of Nazareth and miss out on everything. As always, we get to choose.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visithttps://intheword.com

In this episode, we reflect on Luke 8:40–48, where Jesus is surrounded by pressing needs — Jairus pleading for his daughter's life, a woman reaching for healing after twelve years of suffering, and a crowd pulling at him from every side. In the midst of the chaos, Jesus notices the touch of faith, declaring, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.” This story reminds us that compassion always costs something, but in the kingdom of God, love doesn't run dry — it flows. Jesus lived from a rhythm of prayer, rest, worship, and community that kept him connected to the Source, so his love could keep pouring out. We also explore a modern story of Monica and Kevin — a young couple learning that healing and renewal are sustained not by willpower, but by steady faith, supportive community, and God's abiding grace. When compassion stretches us thin, we too are invited to return to the Source, trusting that the same God who renewed Jesus renews us.

In this passage, we'll look at Jesus' compassion for our hurting world, his recognition of desperate faith, and his ultimate power over death itself as seen in the healings of Jairus' daughter, the bleeding woman, and three disabled men.   Scripture: Matthew 9:18-34

Sometimes the stories we tell ourselves can get in the way of what is actually possible. We sometimes assume our problems are not big enough compared to what else is happening in the world.  Or, we may believe we're not worthy or deserving of God's love and care.  Maybe you think if you're honest about what you've been struggling with others will judge you or think you're weak. These kinds of stories keep us at arm's length from the help and care we need.  They can become barriers that keep us from experiencing a good and loving God and the care and compassion of those who love and care for us.   The stories we see in Mark 5 paint illustrate that Jairus and the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment did not let their circumstances keep them from God. They chose to believe the stories they had heard about Jesus—that he could bring them good news.

JAMMING ON THE JAM WITH JAIRUS MOLA 07TH OCT by Capital FM

When God gives you a door, it's up to you to walk through it.

The Father's Love Revealed in the Son 10/05/25 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. […]

The functional path of oneness is not an abstract unity but a lived encounter of utter dependence. Western thought, enslaved by the grammar of the Anglo-Saxons, treats the human as an individual: a self-contained atom, an object unto itself. It imagines freedom as isolation, and isolation as freedom. But this supposed independence becomes sterility: the atomized person, cut off from the Shepherd's breath, is lost in a sea of thorns, choked by its own irrelevance.True independence lies not in the language of atoms but in the biology of divine anatomies, in the irreducibility of God's living functions. The Semitic root does not define a solitary “one” but a functional, dependent, and connected one. Every creature is undoubtedly one, yet cannot sustain itself any more than a cell can live apart from the body.As the body cannot live without its head, the tree without the earth withers.The triliteral root—three consonants binding the Tree of Life to the Master who gives it breath—embodies this living unity. Each consonant functions only in relation to the others; none can speak alone. Like branches drawing life through hidden roots, utility flows from dependence on him, not autonomy.In this linguistic body, the Semitic scrolls convey the unity of divine oneness: connection without possession, coherence without control. To be yaḥid is to be fragile, dependent, and open without self-reference: the earthen vessel through which the breath of ha-ʾEḥad flows.Western language, by contrast, breeds an unconscious polytheism of the self. When every person becomes an independent atom, the world fills with gods. Each will asserts its own dominion; each word competes for sovereignty. Polytheism, at its base, is war: the multiplication of possessive wills in endless collision. The Lukan crowd becomes a pantheon of thorns, a battlefield of competing gods. The soil of faith is twisted into a field of confrontation, where the multitude gathers against the Lord and his Christ to suffocate the one who brings the life-giving breath of his instruction.Yet within that suffocating crowd stands the yaḥid, Jairus, whose “only daughter”—his yeḥidah—lies dying. His lineage collapses; his name withers. Yet in this desolation, he does not press or grasp; he kneels before the “one.” There, in the stillness of dependence, the breath returns, and the Shepherd that the cares of this life cannot choke breathes life into the earthen vessel that has ceased to strive.μονογενής (monogenes) / י־ח־ד (yod-ḥet-dalet) / و-ح-د (wāw-ḥāʾ-dāl)One and only; single of its kind; only-born; only, only one, solitary, unique.“She was his only one [יְחִידָה (yeḥidah)]; he had no other son or daughter.” (Judges 11:34 )Here יָחִיד (yaḥid) expresses the fragility of the earthen vessel. In verse 34, the human line rests upon a single, irreplaceable life. Jephthah's entire legacy depends on his yeḥidah; when she is offered, the limits of family and human continuity are laid bare. The father's grief, bound to his only daughter, exposes the futility of lineage and the inevitability of dependence on God. The yaḥid becomes the mirror through which the insufficiency of man encounters the sufficiency of God.“Deliver my life from the sword, my only one [יְחִידָתִי (yeḥidati)] from the power of the dog.” (Psalm 22:21) LXX 21David cries from the edge of annihilation. His yeḥidati (“my only one”) refers to his only life (nefeš). He stands surrounded by predators, stripped of every defense, holding nothing but the breath that God alone can sustain. In that setting, ha-yaḥid encounters ha-ʾEḥad; the singular human breath encounters the One God who gives it breath. The weakness of the individual, the threatened “only life”, is the functional context of י־ח־ד (yod-ḥet-dalet) where triliteral replaces human vulnerability with God's sufficiency.“Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am alone [יָחִיד (yaḥid)] and afflicted.” (Psalm 25:16 ) LXX 24Here, yaḥid is not emotional loneliness but martial isolation: the condition of a soldier or supplicant with no human ally, no support, no constituency. The psalmist is cut off from every network of defense; he stands as the yaḥid before ha-ʾEḥad. His solitude is not inward melancholy but strategic exposure. He is a man encircled and undone, left with no strength but God's. In that position, the oneness of God supplants the weakness of the individual, and dependence itself becomes the ground of divine action.“Rescue my life from their ravages, my only one [יְחִידָתִי (yeḥidati)] from the lions.” (Psalm 35:17) LXX 34The psalmist again names his life (nefeš) his yeḥidah: his one, irreplaceable self surrounded by devouring forces. This cry is not heroic but helpless; the yaḥid has no shield, no strength, no tribe. He stands as the fragile earthen vessel awaiting rescue from the ʾEḥad who alone grants and restores the breath of life.“They have taken their rabbis and monks as lords besides God and the Messiah, son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship One God [إِلَـٰهًۭا وَاحِدًۭا (ʾilāhan wāḥidan)]. There is no god but he. Glory be to him above what they associate with him.” (Qurʾan, Surat al-Tawba سورة التوبة “The Repentance” 9:31)The yaḥid stands before al-Wāḥid as a fragile vessel, emptied of pretense, whose worth lies not in possession or inheritance but in exposure. To be yaḥid is to stand alone—not because one has chosen solitude, but because every other support has failed. It is the state of Jairus in Luke 8:42, David in Psalm 22:21, and Jephthah in Judges 11:34—each reduced to dependence, each holding a single, irreplaceable life before the one who gives it.Yet the religious mind, ancient and modern alike, mistakes the vessel for the seed. It clings to fleeting human breath instead of to the one who gives breath. This is what Qurʾan 9:31 exposes in its indictment of clericalism: those who mistake the earthen vessel, which passes away, for the words of God, which do not.This is also the folly of the crowds in Luke 8. They gather not to hear the divine instruction but to choke it—to smother the seed because it threatens their economy of possession. They are the ʿedah, the swarm around death. They handle Jesus like a toy, fascinated with what can be held, pressed, traded, and measured; they prefer the earthen vessel to the living seed. They worship the perishable container rather than the imperishable Word, the finite dust rather than הָאֶחָד (ha-ʾEḥad), the one from whom all life flows.But the yaḥid—the one left with nothing—sees through the mirage. Standing before al-Wāḥid, Jairus discovers that what endures is not clay but command. The earthen vessel passes away; but the Word of God abides forever.συμπνίγω (sympnigo)To press in so tightly that one can barely breathe; to crowd around or press hard against; to suffocate.“The one sown among the thorns, this is the one who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke [συμπνίγει (sympnigei)] the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” (Matthew 13:22)

TODAY'S DEVOTION: Why trouble the teacher? Your daughter is dead. Why bother? Those are some of the words that Jairus heard. Words of despair—sounds of hopelessness that echoed in his ears as he faced the unimaginable. Jairus had reached out in faith, hoping Jesus would have an answer, a solution. But on that journey, amid the desperate hope, he is confronted by these crushing words: "Your daughter is dead. There's no use troubling the teacher now." Fear and despair always want to have the last word. They come to convince us there's no point in turning to God anymore, that our circumstances are beyond reach, beyond hope. But Jesus steps into that place and turns the story around. Fear will not have the last word—Jesus does. And to Jairus, and to all of us who face moments of darkness and private agony, he says, “Don't be afraid. Just have faith.” Jesus brings Jairus into a quiet, private space—only Peter, James, John, and the little girl's parents are allowed in. There, in the most personal and painful of moments, God meets us. He enters our darkest valleys, the places where fear and loss feel most overwhelming, and his presence becomes our answer. In those moments, the only hope is his nearness—the hope of resurrection. Jesus speaks into that darkness: “Little girl, get up.” Talitha koum. It is the new life and hope only he can offer. It is the word we're longing to hear in every hopeless place. Jesus invites us, like the disciples, to come close, to witness and share in his life-giving power as he brings hope to those in despair. This is the prayer I have for my own soul. It's the prayer I have for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's the prayer I have for you: that we would meet Jesus in the valley, trust him when fear and despair surround, and receive from him the hope of resurrection. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

In this Bible Story, Jesus displays his compassionate power over sickness and death. He heals a woman who is afflicted with chronic bleeding. He takes a little girl that has passed and restores her life. Jesus did these things to show the whole world that sickness and death does not rule over him the same way it does for humanity.
