Why trouble the Teacher any further?” [36] But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” [37] And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. [38] They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. [39] And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” [40] And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was.

That pervasive feeling of self-doubt and insecurity you believe you are not deserving of your achievements and fear being exposed as a fraud known as imposter syndrome is especially common among writers and other creatives who often grapple with the vulnerability inherent in sharing their work with the world. But perhaps your imposter syndrome is actually a positive sign about your progression as a writer. That's the topic of this solo episode in which Mark reflects upon that.

[16] And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs. [17] And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their region. [18] As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him. [19] And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” [20] And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.

[2] And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. [3] He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, [4] for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him. [5] Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. [6] And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him. [7] And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” [8] For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” [9] And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” [10] And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. [11] Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, [12] and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” [13] So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.

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

Guest Speaker: Brian Bell Mark 5:1-20 Freedom for the Bent and Broken Guest speaker Pastor Brian Bell walks us through the dramatic encounter between Jesus and the demon-possessed man in Mark 5. More than a story of spiritual deliverance, it's a reminder of the hope and healing Jesus brings to every soul turned inward in pain or isolation. No one is too far gone. Whether in chains, tombs, or self-focus, Jesus reaches, restores, and sends us out to tell of His mercy. Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from May 4, 2025.

In this series, we will spend time exploring three miracles from the Gospel of Mark. Mark tells these stories as a way of revealing the identity of Jesus, but they are more than intellectual proofs of his divinity. These miracles beg for a response. We hope walking in these stories will be more than a learning experience. Our prayer is that we might encounter Jesus in all his creative, restorative love, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the miraculous work of Christ in our lives. This week, we explored the story of Jesus casting demons out of a man in Mark 5:1-20. We noticed how the picture being painted by Mark is far deeper and more nuanced than a simple exorcism. How does this story relate to our world and the systems of injustice and oppression? How are we being invited to respond? If The Practice Church is your home community, please join the Core Team.

This week, we look at the fifth chapter of Mark, where Jesus faces the man with the unclean spirit and people are confronted by the supremacy of Jesus.
Mark 5:1-20 is the second of four miracles that display Jesus' power as God in flesh. At the end of chapter 4, Jesus calmed a storm by rebuking it. Creation bowed to its master as the wind and waves obeyed. The creator is sovereign over His creation. Mark 5:1-20 shows us that Jesus also holds power over the spiritual realm, the armies of Satan, and the kingdom of darkness. When Jesus arrives at the opposite shore of the Sea of Galilee, a man enslaved by unclean spirits meets Him. Mark provides significant detail regarding this man's hopeless and tormented condition (v. 1-5). As the narrative progresses, we learn that a legion of unclean spirits inhabits him. But even thousands of demons cannot withstand His authority. Jesus triumphs over the host of enemy powers with the same authority and word that stilled the storm. Jesus has come to set the captive free. This man's circumstances are extreme, but they are not the only picture of someone enslaved to Satan's kingdom. Without Christ, all of Adam's descendants are held under Satan's power (1 John 5:19; Eph. 2:1-2; Col. 1:13-14). If Jesus can conquer the army garrisoned within this man, He can free any captive and save any soul enslaved by sin. There are several twists in this narrative involving suicidal pigs and a howling graveyard dweller, but as we have seen before, Jesus is the "Son of the Most High God" (Mark 5:7) and possesses the power to bring the kingdom of God into the darkness. Mark ends this passage by displaying how the townspeople and the recently delivered man respond to Jesus. One is commissioned, while the others beg Jesus to leave. I.

Caleb Drahosh While Jesus was still speaking to the woman who had been healed, it was reported to Jairus that his daughter was dead. Jesus took Peter, James, and John and went to Jairus' house. Mourners were present, but Jesus told them the girl was only sleeping. They mocked Jesus. And so He left them outside and came into the room with only Jairus, Jairus' wife, and the three Jesus brought with Him. Jesus raises the girl from the dead. Jesus is stronger than the wind, waves, demons, disease, and death.
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

Caleb Drahosh Jesus is met by Jairus who asks Jesus to come make his dying daughter well. Jesus accompanies Jairus, but on the way, a woman with an issue of blood secretively approaches Jesus and touches His garment, believing that she will be made well. Her disease is immediately healed. Things seen and unseen are subject to Jesus' power. The gift of faith in this woman brings her peace; faith is what joins us to Christ and His saving power.
Daily Dose of Hope April 11, 2025 Day 5 of Week 2 Scripture – Mark 5:21-43 Prayer – Holy and Merciful God, We are so thankful that your mercies are new every morning. No matter what yesterday held, help us start afresh and anew with you. Lord, help us set aside our distractions and gather our scattered thoughts so we can fully focus on you and your Word. Help us sit in these next few moments of silence, remembering that you are God and we are not...In Your Name, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are finishing up Mark 5. Remember, yesterday we spoke about Jesus' healing of the man possessed by evil spirits over in Gentile territory. Now, he is back to the Jewish side of the lake and more healing awaits him. It starts with Jesus being encountered by Jairus, a synagogue leader, whose daughter is very ill and dying. He wants Jesus to come to his home and heal her. I want you to think about this situation. Jairus had high status in this community. He was a Jewish leader. We can surmise that he didn't want to have to go see Jesus, this odd teacher and healer. Jairus was desperate – he had probably tried all kinds of healers by this point and nothing had worked. As a parent, he was willing to do anything to save the life of his daughter, even lower himself to ask Jesus for help. But while they are walking to his home, Jesus has an encounter with someone else, a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. It was a massive crowd, with everyone pressing up against him, but she touched the edge of his robe but he felt the power go out of him. Let's talk briefly about this woman. Bleeding made this woman unclean according to Jewish law. Bleeding for twelve years probably had ruined her life. If she had been married, the husband would have left her by now, meaning she would not have had a way to support herself. She would have depleted all her resources trying to get better. Physically, she would have been extremely fatigued and weak. And finally, this would have alienated her from community. Being unclean, she could not go to the synagogue and she really wasn't allowed to be in that crowd. But she is also desperate, so she breaks the rules, desperate to touch Jesus. Jesus knows who has touched him but he asks out loud anyway, “Who touched me?” She couldn't stay hidden anymore so she comes forward. I can imagine how terrified she would have been. And then Jesus says the most amazing thing, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.” With just a phrase, Jesus healed not only her bleeding but also her soul. She isn't alienated. She is worthy. She is a daughter of the one true king. I find this such an extraordinary narrative. Some people have to encounter Jesus and others need to be empowered. But desperate people come to Jesus and are healed. Even when something seems too far gone – the daughter who is almost dead or the woman whose life has been practically destroyed by twelve years of bleeding – Jesus can take care of it. Jesus is a miracle-worker for all of us. His power and healing are offered to all people in every strata of society. Is there anything in your life for which you have stopped praying? Nothing, nobody is too sick, too addicted, too depressed, too angry, too bitter, too lazy, too ___________ (you fill in the blank) to bring to Jesus. Jesus, the ultimate physician, caregiver, and healer, isn't done with any of us yet. By the way, he does make it to Jairus' house. The girl has already died and the people are crying and wailing. But Jesus goes in anyway. The girl wakes up. Even death can't stop Jesus. Let's close with Psalm 30... I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. 2 Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. 3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit. 4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people; praise his holy name. 5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. 6 When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.” 7 Lord, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain[c] stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. 8 To you, Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: 9 “What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? 10 Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord, be my help.” 11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, 12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Daily Dose of Hope April 10, 2025 Day 4 of Week 2 Scripture – Mark 5:1-20 Prayer: Almighty God, you are so good. Thank you for your love, your mercy, and your forgiveness. How amazing it is that you care so much for me. You are my everything. Help me take my scattered thoughts this morning and focus on you and you alone. In these next few moments of silence, help me center myself on you...Holy Spirit, come and speak to me through your Word. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we begin Mark 5. Jesus starts out this chapter going to the other side of the lake. Just a reminder, the other side of the lake means he is leaving the Jewish towns and heading to the Gentile side. As we have and will continue to see, Jesus has a pattern of going to the other side, responding to the need of the “other.” While Jesus cares for the insiders, he is constantly reaching out to the other–the Samaritan woman at the well, the bleeding woman, the lepers, the tax collectors, the woman caught in adultery–he is always reaching out and offering care and healing to those on the outside, the outcast, to those who don't belong, who have been pushed to the fringe. I do think this is a lesson for the church, that we also have been called to go to those who are “others” in our community. Who is that for us? How hard would it be for us to go to them in the name of Jesus? Jesus gets out of the boat and sees the deranged man. The man was so disturbed, he was living in the burial caves. Most likely he was a burden to the townspeople, an outcast, and their way of dealing with him was to force him to live far away. The burial caves were most likely nasty, smelly, dirty. This is where the dead, decaying bodies were kept. And what I am struck by is how they had tried to subdue him, to chain him up, like an animal...and then day and night he howled and cut himself with sharp stones. I can't help but feeling overwhelming sadness for this man. Cutting (self-harm) is usually the result of trauma. This was someone's son, someone's brother, maybe someone's father. He was a human being made in the image of God. And yet, his life had little value to the people of the town. He was an “other.” But Jesus saw him. When Jesus was still a way off, the evil spirits inside the man recognize Jesus. Isn't it interesting that the evil spirits that were possessing the man knew Jesus immediately? In fact, they call him Son of the Most High God; there is instant recognition that this is the Son of God. The evil spirits know him but often the people that Jesus is ministering to fail to recognize him. When Jesus asks the man his name, he replies, “Legion.” The word legion in that world would have referred to a group of 3000-6000 Roman soldiers. Here we have a legion of evil spirits. Maybe we think this is interesting but doesn't really apply to us. But aren't we also infected with many, many demons? As a land/nation–the demon of racism, of pandemic, of materialism and the love of money, of division, the demon of hate or distrust of the “other,” selfishness, envy, I could certainly go on. We are legion. As a church–we deal with the demon of apathy, of complacency, of self-reliance, of protecting our own, of division, we are legion. As individuals–think of all our demons–anger, rage, unforgiveness, pride, arrogance, bitterness, fear, disobedience, not loving our neighbor; His name was legion because there were many inside the man. What does Jesus do? Well, he heals the man. He totally and completely heals him–physically, emotionally, spiritually. It's amazing. However, what's interesting here is that when the townspeople see the man healed, what do they do? Do they rush over to him and say, “How wonderful to see you healed and whole so you can have a nice life.” No, they're scared and they beg Jesus to leave. Why was that? Clearly, the loss of 2000 pigs would have been a terrible economic loss. But I think that would have made them mad not afraid. I can't help thinking they want Jesus to leave because they didn't want to face their own demons. Rene Girard, a 20th century philosopher said, “Clearly the drowning of the pigs bothers them less than the drowning of their demons.” Is it that they didn't want to be healed? My guess is they wanted to be healed but they didn't want to do the work that leads to healing. And what work is that? Well, first it means admitting you have some issues. It means admitting they we don't have it all together. It means admitting that we are wounded and we may have wounded others. It means admitting that we can't handle it on our own, that we can't fix it, that we have been wrong, that we are hurting, that we need help, that we need healing deep within us. We don't need surface level healing because that's what got us here in the first place. We need deep soul healing. TRUE healing always starts with Jesus. In fact, there is no true healing without Jesus. And healing ourselves, our churches, and our land, begins with healing the wounds of our own heart. Before we can heal the legion of demons that our nation is facing, we must address the evil within ourselves. Friends, have you faced the evil within yourself? We have to admit where we have fallen short. And don't think just the other side needs healing. There is so much about this narrative that is incredible. But I love, love, love what happens next. God gives this man a physical and spiritual healing. Then as a result, he goes and shares the Good News with all who would listen and “everyone was amazed at what he told them.” He receives new life and he can't keep it to himself. He becomes an extraordinary missionary, sharing with whoever will listen what Jesus had done for him. This is the thing: God heals us, God gives us stories of transformation, and then our response is to share them. God works through broken, flawed people like this man, like you, and like me. Do you believe this? When is the last time you shared your story of transformation? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Caleb Drahosh When Jesus and His disciples get to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. There He encounters a demoniac, possessed by many demons. Jesus casts the demons out into their preferred host: a herd of two thousand pigs. The pigs run into the sea and drown. The people want Jesus to leave, but the ex-demoniac wants to come with Jesus. Jesus tells Him to make it known how much the Lord did for him. And it was a considerable amount.
Jessi Green teaches from Mark 6, emphasizing the power of sitting at the feet of Jesus and deepening our faith. Are we making space to truly listen to Him, or are we consumed by fear, anxiety, and doubt? Strengthening our faith begins with surrendering to His presence and trusting in His authority.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/welcomeWays to Support the Ministry:Become a monthly giver https://www.saltchurches.com/givingFollow / saltchurches Subscribe @saltchurchNC Connect with Parker + Jessi Green:Instagram Parker / parkerricha. .Instagram Jessi / jessi.green Websites https://www.saltchurches.com/https://thegreens.co/#prayer #bible #biblestudy #saltchurch
