This Sunday we’re in Mark 5, and we’re looking at a father who fought his way through a crowd to get to Jesus only to get the worst news of his life before Jesus even arrived. It’s a story about what happens when hope runs out and Jesus shows up anyway. If you’ve ever felt like you’re in the pit of despair, this one is for you.
1. Mark Is A Book Of Action
2. The Pit of Despair
“But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, ‘Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.'” Mark 5:36
3. Clash of Realities
Jesus moves immediately to counteract what is being spoken over Jairus.
The world says: “Your daughter is dead.”
Jesus says: “Just have faith.”
2 Corinthians 5:7 – We walk by faith, not by sight.
Psalm 141:3 – Set a guard over my mouth.
Colossians 1:4–5 – Our faith comes from our hope in who Jesus is.
