June 18 & 19, 2016

 

FAITH MOVES GOD TO BE GOD

 

Mark 9:23 “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” New Living Translation Version

 

Hebrews 11:32 I could go on and on, but I’ve run out of time. There are so many more—Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, the prophets. 33 Through acts of faith (other translations: By Faith), they toppled kingdoms, made justice work, took the promises for themselves. 34 They were protected from lions, fires, and sword thrusts, turned disadvantage to advantage, won battles, routed alien armies. The Message Bible

The Women with the Internal Bleeding Problem

 

Mark 5:27 She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind him, 28 saying to herself, “If I just touch his clothes, I will get well.” Good News Translation

 

Mark 5:29 She touched his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once; and she had the feeling inside herself that she was healed of her trouble. 30 At once Jesus knew that power had gone out of him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” Good News Translation

 

Mark 5:31 His disciples answered, “You see how the people are crowding you; why do you ask who touched you?”32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 The woman realized what had happened to her, so she came, trembling with fear, knelt at his feet, and told him the whole truth. Good News Translation

 

Mark 5:34 Jesus said to her, “My daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your trouble.” Good News Translation
