Faith

Jul 27, 2025    Pastor Duane Butler

In this powerful exploration of faith, we delve into the essence of Mark 5, where two distinct expressions of belief converge. We witness Jairus, desperately seeking Jesus to heal his daughter, and a woman with a chronic condition, determined to touch His garment. These parallel stories beautifully illustrate how faith can manifest differently, yet lead to the same divine intervention. The message challenges us to release our faith, regardless of how it's expressed. Are we trying to bring our problems to Jesus, or are we attempting to bring Jesus to our problems? Either way, the key is our unwavering belief. This teaching encourages us to embrace our unique faith journey, reminding us that God honors sincere hearts, not specific methods. As we reflect on this, let's consider: How are we expressing our faith in our daily lives? Are we allowing others' opinions to hinder our spiritual growth? It's time to break free from people-pleasing and focus on God-pleasing, trusting that our faith, however small, can move mountains.
