Faith that Reaches Out

When we bring our issues to Jesus, His Power meets us where human strength cannot

Bring your Issue to Jesus

Mark 5:25–27 ESV

25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.

Time does not weaken God’s power

She had the issue for 12 years, had suffered and had gotten worse.

Delay is not denial

Jesus can help when no one else can

Mark 5:28–29 ESV

28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

When your body is weak, let your faith do the reaching

Faith can carry your farther than your flesh

Jesus Honors Faith

Mark 5:30–34 ESV

30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”

Faith makes Jesus stop...

Jesus doesn’t just heal our issues, He restores our identity
