    • Woman With The Issue Of Blood
      Having Spent All Her Living Who touched Me Be Of Good Comfort Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole
      Luke 8-41-56
      2011-11-20
      SYNOPSIS:The healing of Jarius’daughter and the woman with the issue of blood shows two kinds of faith. Both will lead to salvation, because both are reactions to the Lord when He meets us at our level of faith. We should learn our personal lesson from these two items: The woman spent all her living on physicians before she encountered the Great Physician and was healed, and Jesus said "who touched me" Let us compare our faith to this woman, and also to Jairus who definitely had faith, of a weaker sort, but when the Lord responded to Him, he also responded (or else His daughter would not have been saved).

    • Healing Of The Woman With An Issue Of Blood
      Touching Christ
      Luke 8-41-56
      2013-11-17
      SYNOPSIS:The healing of the woman with an issue of blood is told as a parenthetical story within the story of the raising from the dead of the daughter of Jairus, but it is the most important of the two, and contains the greatest miracle. This is a miracle which all of us MUST have, and alas, very few of us experience. A woman who was an outcast, a sufferer from the human condition, was touched by Jesus, because she reached out to Him in faith. This touching is necessary for eternal life. We must cultivate being touched by Jesus. How do we learn to day by day, minute by minute, to reach out to Jesus, and *feel* His touch?

    • Woman With The Issue Of Blood And Jairos Teach Us About Faith
      Jesus Prayer And Self Talk
      Luke 8-41-56
      2014-11-16
      SYNOPSIS:The healing of the woman with the issue of blood and the daughter of Jairos are a primer on faith. Faith is not just belief; It is action based on belief, and even action in spite of disbelief. It involves courage, and initiative, patience, endurance, and not listening to negative thoughts - self-talk. All these things are present in this story. We also discuss faith and the Jesus prayer, that prayer that tests our faith and rewards us when we have faith. We must learn to be like Jairos in our prayer. He walked with the Lord to the house, even though he knew his daughter was dead. No matter what we think, God knows the truth. To the Lord that girl was alive, and that is all that matters, for He sees everything as it really is.

    • Reading the healing of the woman with an issue of blood and daughter of Jairus to meet Christ (mp3 format)
    • Luke 8:41-56
      2016
      SYNOPSIS:First an exhortation to read the Gospels, because they reveal to us Jesus Christ. We read this story about the healing of the woman with an issue of blood and the daughter of Jairus in a way I want you to learn to read. You are a "fly on the wall" as I emphasize the things that most touch my heart, those things that are "underlined", and reveal Christ.
