Faith That Heals

VERSE

25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” - Mark 5:25-34 NIV

INTRO

• This verse speaks about a woman who had a medical condition that tormented her for 12 years of her life. It also mentions that she saw many doctors and spent all the money she had in order to get better, but she only got worse (Mark 5:25-26)

• This woman did what most people would do when they have a problem, look to people, resources, and money for help.

• It wasn’t until she pushed her way through to Jesus, touched only the edge of his cloak, and believed that she will be healed that she received her miracle.

DISCUSSION

• Who or what do you go to when you need a help?

• Have you ever relied on something to help you and it failed you?

• If Jesus was passing by you today, what would you want him to heal in your life?

PRAYER & CALL

• Prayer requests.

• Pray for God to bring physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.

• Guide those that have never received Jesus to accept Him in their heart.
