Good morning.
We are in the last week of an exciting six week series called Made for Mission.
Over the past five weeks we’ve talked about how all Christians have been called by God to join in His mission to reach the world.
We’ve talked about what we’re supposed to say, who we are supposed to say it and why we should live on mission to begin with.
By a show of hands, how many of you know your grandparents first names?
Have many of you know your great grandparents first names?
I’ve got some unfortunate news for every person here.
You are more likely only a few decades away from being totally forgotten.

I’ve got some unfortunate news for every person here.
You are more likely only a few decades away from being totally forgotten.
Welcome to Church on the Rock-Abilene You are dismissed.
Now here is the good news.
God’s calling on your life is always bigger than your lifetime.
While just about all of us can’t go back three generations in our own family trees, that is not the case with our spiritual family.
Based on how the Bible reads I have a suspicion that in Heaven we will be able to study our spiritual family trees forward and backwards.
Since God is outside time I wonder if we will be able to see how ultimately we became Christ followers and be able to follow up to see the ripples of our life time in impacting those in the future spiritually.
Kind of like ancestor.com
but on steroids.
Let me say that If you are brand new to this whole God/Church/Jesus thing and just checking it all out, I’m so glad you’re here.
ou need to know that God’s got something bigger for your life and is inviting you to join Him in his activity where He’s already working.
Today we are going to study a scene in the life from a guy named Peter.
He’s one of those insert foot open mouth kind of guys.
He was always getting into trouble for speaking before thinking.
If you’ve ever done that before then you’ll be able to relate to him.
If you ever make bonehead mistakes, Peter is your guy.

Today we are going to read two back to back stories found in the book of Luke.
Read (NKJV)
40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.
A Woman is Healed
;
41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue.
And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying.
But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.
But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.
So Jairus meets Jesus and His disciples at the docks.
His description as the synagogue leader was a big deal.
In that culture think city council member or even mayor of that area.
This could be a really big opportunity for this small start up movement led by Jesus.
If a synagogue leader were to become a follower he might influence the whole city and even the surrounding region.
I’ve heard reports that Justin Beiber has become a Christian.
So often the church loves to take advantage of a celebrities influence to spread the gospel but I don’t think that is normally how God chooses to work.
God chooses to work.
God loves doing extraordinary things thru very ordinary people.
So I don’t know what Jesus is thinking but I bet the disciples are not blind to the opportunity at hand which meant they better get to Jairus’ house fast before they miss it.
Check out what happens next.
(NKJV)
42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying.
But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.
43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment.
And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
It’s almost comical how this scene starts.
Massive crowds are surrounding Jesus pressing in to get closer to him yet he stops mid stride to ask, “Who touched me?”
I picture Peter rolling his eyes here, “Ahh Jesus, there are people all around you.
Everybody is touching you!”
It would be like crowd surfing at a rock concert and then stopping to ask who touched you.
It makes no sense.
What also makes no sense is that Jesus stops on his way to a big ministry opportunity to talk to someone that everyone else ignored.
There are a lot of things we can probably guess about this woman.
She’s poor (in another one of the gospels we read that she had spent all her money trying to find a cure but nothing had worked.)
She’s probably all alone.
We sure don’t hear of anyone else with her in this scene.
She’s also probably been seriously shamed in this city.
The religious leaders taught that diseases were a punishment from God and thus people you should stay away from.
Still with all that baggage she takes a massive risk.
Based on Old Testament Law the people would believe that this woman’s disease would permanently make her unclean and anything she touched would become unclean as well.
People know about this woman.
She has a reputation.
As she pushed her way through the crowd to get to Jesus what did she most likely have to endure?
“What are YOU doing here?”
“Go home where you belong!”
She was shoved to the side and given dirty looks.
Yet in all this, the woman is relentless to get to Jesus.
.
It pays off and her whole life is changed in a moment.
It pays off and her whole life is changed in a moment.
You have no idea when God wants to use you.
You’re greatest impact will probably come at a time you’re least expecting it.
For the woman she has been suffering with this disease for 12 years.
She’d prayed for God to remove it from her multiple times a day for over a decade.
If you walked in here and you’ve been carrying around a prayer request for what seems like forever, learn the lesson from this woman.
Don’t give up.
Run to Jesus.
There is always hope and He can do more in a moment than we can do in a lifetime.
