WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.900
 come in power, meeting us in our need today. Amen.

00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:21.800
 Dad will fix it. That's what happens in our home anyway. If something breaks or it's not working,

00:00:22.460 --> 00:00:29.580
 well give it to Dad, he'll fix it. Well most of the time things get fixed and sometimes they

00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:34.399
 aren't and if we can't we give it to someone else who can or we take it to someone else who can.

00:00:35.879 --> 00:00:42.640
 Sometimes however things are so broken that we just can't fix it.

00:00:44.179 --> 00:00:52.399
 I was reminded of this during the summer. We received the sad news that Rebecca's friend

00:00:52.399 --> 00:01:05.099
 had taken her own life. And as we went to visit the family and saw the heartache, I so desperately

00:01:05.099 --> 00:01:16.039
 wanted to fix it all. Soon after we got news that my dad was diagnosed with cancer. As we

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:24.560
 got the results, two to five years with treatment, I so desperately wanted to fix it all.

00:01:27.700 --> 00:01:37.219
 More recently, a friend confessed to being a secret alcoholic. As we heard the effects of

00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:48.039
 their family and their family and their life, I so desperately wanted to fix it. And these

00:01:48.039 --> 00:01:58.599
 things are not unique to me or to us as a family. Every one of you here have situations and circumstances

00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:10.479
 that you desperately want to fix it. But you can't. Sometimes things are so terrible,

00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:19.139
 there is nothing we can do. We are powerless and helpless.

00:02:19.139 --> 00:02:32.779
 Well, in Luke's account, we meet people just like us. People who are powerless. People who are

00:02:32.779 --> 00:02:44.939
 helpless. Four big ideas, four things we're going to learn from these true events today. First,

00:02:44.939 --> 00:02:54.079
 Jesus confronts the powers of darkness. Jesus confronts the powers of darkness. As Jesus

00:02:54.079 --> 00:03:00.460
 comes into the world and where we are in Luke's gospel, he's really just still beginning his

00:03:00.460 --> 00:03:07.219
 ministry and people are getting to hear about him and he's receiving a lot of attention and he's not

00:03:07.219 --> 00:03:18.800
 immune to the darkness we face. In fact, he walks right into it and confronts it head on. First, we meet the

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:27.759
 fearful disciples on a boat. Look at verse 22. One day, Jesus said to his disciples, let's go over to the

00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:36.740
 other side of the lake. So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, Jesus fell asleep. A squall,

00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:43.939
 which is really a small hurricane, came down on the lake so that the boat was being swamped and they

00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:50.820
 were in great danger. The disciples went and woke Jesus saying, Master, Master, we're going to drown.

00:03:53.700 --> 00:03:59.400
 Now, we've just faced a little storm, storm Ophelia, and that was terrifying.

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:10.420
 You think what it would be like to be out in that open lake in the dark, no light, in your small little

00:04:10.420 --> 00:04:18.360
 wooden boat being tossed around by the waves and your boat filling up with water. We're going to drown.

00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:19.639
 We're going to die.

00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:30.520
 Then we meet a tortured demon-possessed man. Verse 26.

00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:40.859
 They sailed through the storm to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.

00:04:41.859 --> 00:04:49.319
 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time,

00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:55.479
 this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs.

00:04:55.480 --> 00:05:05.640
 Picture the scene. A naked madman. His only friends are the dead.

00:05:07.939 --> 00:05:14.319
 Now, I don't know if you've ever experienced something or someone that you would say,

00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:20.460
 this is evil or satanic. It is not a joke.

00:05:20.459 --> 00:05:29.659
 This man has been physically, mentally, and spiritually tortured by Satan's servants.

00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:34.359
 Even his name reflects the chaos that is in his life.

00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.459
 Down at verse 30, Jesus asked him, what's your name?

00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:39.060
 Legion.

00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:43.139
 Legion means hundreds, even thousands.

00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:51.099
 Legion, he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:53.699
 He had no rest.

00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.919
 Third, we meet a woman ostracized by her sickness.

00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:02.459
 Verse 40.

00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:08.500
 Now, when Jesus returned, so he's kind of gone back again across the lake,

00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:12.920
 a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.

00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:18.720
 Then a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came and fell at Jesus' feet,

00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:24.279
 pleading with him to come to his house, because his only daughter, a girl of about 12, was dying.

00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.259
 And then it's as if Jesus is interrupted.

00:06:30.220 --> 00:06:34.379
 As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him.

00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:39.980
 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years,

00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.540
 more than likely a gynecological problem.

00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:51.879
 She'd been bleeding for 12 years, but no one could heal her.

00:06:53.379 --> 00:06:57.060
 Not only does she have to deal with the constant bleeding,

00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.199
 she faces being ostracized from her community.

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:05.060
 You see, her bleeding made her religiously unclean and untouchable.

00:07:06.019 --> 00:07:09.819
 12 years of being pushed out and ignored.

00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.439
 And then fourth, we meet a broken father whose daughter is dying.

00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:20.599
 We just met Jairus, didn't we?

00:07:21.719 --> 00:07:25.879
 Who comes to Jesus to heal his only daughter.

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.939
 Well, verse 49.

00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:32.420
 While Jesus was still speaking,

00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:37.120
 someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler.

00:07:38.779 --> 00:07:41.879
 Your daughter is dead, he said.

00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:45.000
 Don't bother the teacher anymore.

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.740
 And with those words ringing in his ears,

00:07:50.699 --> 00:07:53.759
 his life is shattered and broken.

00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:58.399
 His only daughter, 12 years of age,

00:07:59.699 --> 00:08:01.540
 has been snatched from him.

00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.740
 You see, these are not just stories.

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:15.240
 These are real people in their real experiences of life.

00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:17.680
 And when they are recorded together,

00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:23.120
 they reveal the darkness that we all see and experience

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.840
 as we walk through life.

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.840
 The chaos of nature's storms,

00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.160
 as hurricanes and flash flooding

00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.360
 destroy whole communities,

00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.460
 leaving a trail of destruction in its path.

00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:40.220
 the devastation of evil,

00:08:40.220 --> 00:08:42.139
 as it enslaves lives,

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:45.139
 breaking and destroying all that is beautiful

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:46.320
 and all that is good.

00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.680
 The suffering that sickness brings,

00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:55.379
 unbearable pain,

00:08:57.060 --> 00:08:59.259
 restricting and isolating people

00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:00.980
 from their friends and family.

00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:05.399
 And then all of these things

00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.300
 come to a horrible and inevitable climax.

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:10.860
 Death itself.

00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.060
 And those we most love and hold dear

00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:17.480
 are taken away.

00:09:18.620 --> 00:09:20.860
 Sometimes through the process of time,

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.519
 sometimes without warning.

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:29.199
 And what makes this darkness so dark

00:09:29.199 --> 00:09:35.340
 is our absolute inability to do anything about it.

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.500
 By ourselves, we are powerless and hopeless.

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:40.899
 The disciples,

00:09:41.199 --> 00:09:43.860
 despite their years of fishing experience,

00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.019
 are at the mercy of the storm.

00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:47.659
 We're going to drown.

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:51.639
 And those who try to contain

00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.519
 the demon-possessed man

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.079
 are confronted by their own weakness.

00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:57.740
 Look at the end of verse 29.

00:09:58.199 --> 00:10:01.079
 Many times the demon had seized him

00:10:01.079 --> 00:10:02.879
 and though he was chained

00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.219
 hand and foot and kept under guard,

00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:07.179
 he had broken his chains

00:10:07.179 --> 00:10:09.159
 and had been driven by the demon

00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:10.679
 into solitary places.

00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:14.120
 And the suffering woman

00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.759
 who had sought every possible cure,

00:10:17.199 --> 00:10:18.439
 end of verse 43,

00:10:19.359 --> 00:10:20.579
 but no one,

00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:23.359
 there was no doctor,

00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:25.019
 no power

00:10:25.019 --> 00:10:26.919
 that could heal her.

00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:32.339
 And then Jairus,

00:10:32.439 --> 00:10:34.459
 who came running to Jesus for healing,

00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.179
 has lost all hope

00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:41.599
 because his little daughter

00:10:41.599 --> 00:10:43.239
 is dead.

00:10:46.239 --> 00:10:47.599
 We like to think

00:10:47.599 --> 00:10:48.839
 that we can face

00:10:48.839 --> 00:10:50.919
 whatever life throws at us.

00:10:51.979 --> 00:10:53.979
 That somehow we have the power

00:10:53.979 --> 00:10:56.339
 and the resources within ourselves

00:10:56.339 --> 00:10:57.539
 to deal with it.

00:10:58.219 --> 00:11:00.120
 But life's experiences

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.979
 confront us with the reality

00:11:01.979 --> 00:11:04.339
 that left to our own devices,

00:11:04.340 --> 00:11:05.860
 we are powerless

00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:07.280
 and helpless.

00:11:08.420 --> 00:11:09.720
 Weather forecasts

00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:11.360
 will not protect you.

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:13.460
 Rules and laws

00:11:13.460 --> 00:11:15.500
 will not constrain evil.

00:11:16.820 --> 00:11:18.300
 Doctors and medication

00:11:18.300 --> 00:11:20.060
 are not always enough

00:11:20.060 --> 00:11:21.960
 and no one and nothing

00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.700
 can save us from death.

00:11:26.920 --> 00:11:28.320
 Facing the chaos

00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:29.900
 and brokenness of this world,

00:11:30.780 --> 00:11:32.220
 we are powerless

00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:34.440
 and we're hopeless.

00:11:38.779 --> 00:11:39.300
 Second,

00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:40.519
 Jesus restores

00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.040
 with the power of God.

00:11:43.160 --> 00:11:44.519
 Jesus restores

00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.040
 with the power of God.

00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.320
 Well, all those we meet

00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:50.379
 in this account

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:51.620
 are powerless.

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:54.600
 Jesus proves

00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:55.700
 to be powerful.

00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:57.680
 Look at the way

00:11:57.680 --> 00:11:59.399
 in which Jesus restores

00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:00.919
 and renews

00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.439
 each situation.

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.059
 First,

00:12:03.439 --> 00:12:04.199
 the disciples

00:12:04.199 --> 00:12:05.139
 in the storm.

00:12:05.579 --> 00:12:06.980
 Panic has set in.

00:12:07.259 --> 00:12:07.919
 The waves

00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:08.919
 are coming in.

00:12:09.139 --> 00:12:10.079
 We're going to drown.

00:12:13.019 --> 00:12:13.899
 But listen

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:15.579
 to the words of Jesus.

00:12:15.860 --> 00:12:16.720
 Verse 24.

00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:19.860
 He got up,

00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:22.419
 rebuked the wind

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:23.919
 and the raging waters.

00:12:25.179 --> 00:12:27.039
 The storm subsided

00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.120
 and always calm.

00:12:31.099 --> 00:12:32.459
 From the chaos

00:12:32.459 --> 00:12:33.819
 and destruction

00:12:33.819 --> 00:12:37.360
 to calmness

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:38.279
 and restoration.

00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:42.480
 Then the demon-possessed man,

00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.120
 his life has been enslaved,

00:12:44.459 --> 00:12:45.539
 controlled by demons.

00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:47.120
 His life is ruined

00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.899
 by their constant attacks.

00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:51.399
 But look what happens

00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:52.819
 when Jesus delivers.

00:12:52.819 --> 00:12:54.219
 Verse 35.

00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:57.960
 The people went out

00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.120
 to see what had happened

00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:00.040
 and when they came

00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:00.620
 to Jesus,

00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:02.060
 they found the man

00:13:02.060 --> 00:13:03.420
 from whom the demons

00:13:03.420 --> 00:13:04.220
 had gone out

00:13:04.220 --> 00:13:05.139
 sitting

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:07.399
 at Jesus' feet,

00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:09.240
 dressed

00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:10.720
 and in his right mind

00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.139
 and they were afraid.

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:15.940
 And those who had seen it

00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:16.680
 told the people

00:13:16.680 --> 00:13:18.279
 how the demon-possessed man

00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:19.600
 had been cured.

00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:22.639
 From a violent,

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:25.259
 tormented mind

00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:29.120
 to a quiet

00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.379
 and cured mind.

00:13:34.419 --> 00:13:35.699
 Then the sick woman,

00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:37.899
 her life is a desperate situation,

00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:39.480
 no means of a cure,

00:13:39.819 --> 00:13:41.480
 ostracized from her community.

00:13:41.819 --> 00:13:42.840
 Her life hangs

00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:43.939
 in the very balance.

00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:47.340
 But an encounter with Jesus

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:48.399
 changes everything.

00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:49.279
 Verse 44.

00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:51.740
 She came up behind Jesus,

00:13:51.740 --> 00:13:53.320
 touched the edge

00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:53.879
 of his cloak

00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:54.799
 and immediately

00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.879
 her bleeding stopped.

00:13:59.180 --> 00:14:00.399
 Verse 48.

00:14:01.560 --> 00:14:02.860
 Then he said to her,

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:04.440
 Daughter,

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:07.480
 daughter,

00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:08.560
 your faith

00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:10.019
 has healed you.

00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:11.100
 Go

00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:12.539
 in peace.

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:14.820
 From pain

00:14:14.820 --> 00:14:16.620
 and suffering

00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:18.899
 to peace

00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:20.379
 and healing.

00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:24.460
 And then the helpless father.

00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.220
 His life has been shattered

00:14:26.220 --> 00:14:26.820
 and broken.

00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:28.179
 His only daughter

00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:28.720
 is dead.

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:30.279
 All hope is gone.

00:14:31.779 --> 00:14:33.159
 And Jesus arrives.

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:34.860
 Verse 50.

00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:36.000
 Hearing this,

00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:37.600
 hearing that the little girl

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:38.179
 had died,

00:14:38.580 --> 00:14:39.820
 Jesus said to Jairus,

00:14:40.179 --> 00:14:41.840
 Don't be afraid.

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.960
 Just believe

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.360
 and she will be healed.

00:14:49.300 --> 00:14:50.560
 Verse 52.

00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:51.780
 Meanwhile,

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:52.700
 all the people

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:53.360
 were wailing

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.580
 and mourning for her.

00:14:55.420 --> 00:14:56.560
 Stop wailing,

00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:58.040
 Jesus said.

00:14:59.160 --> 00:15:00.360
 She's not dead,

00:15:01.300 --> 00:15:02.340
 but asleep.

00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:04.060
 In other words,

00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:04.860
 that to Jesus,

00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:05.540
 her death

00:15:05.540 --> 00:15:06.519
 was just like

00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:07.000
 someone

00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.440
 who is sleeping.

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.040
 They laughed at him

00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:12.620
 knowing that she was dead,

00:15:12.760 --> 00:15:13.400
 but he took her

00:15:13.400 --> 00:15:14.120
 by the hand

00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:14.720
 and said,

00:15:15.700 --> 00:15:16.880
 My child,

00:15:17.540 --> 00:15:19.120
 get up.

00:15:20.660 --> 00:15:21.840
 And her spirit

00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:22.380
 returned

00:15:22.380 --> 00:15:24.280
 and at once

00:15:24.280 --> 00:15:25.720
 she stood up.

00:15:26.740 --> 00:15:28.500
 From unrelenting

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:29.300
 sorrow

00:15:29.300 --> 00:15:32.660
 to inexpressible joy,

00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:34.420
 from death itself

00:15:34.420 --> 00:15:36.920
 to the resurrection

00:15:36.920 --> 00:15:37.620
 of life.

00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.320
 As Jesus

00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:41.580
 comes and

00:15:41.580 --> 00:15:42.460
 confronts

00:15:42.460 --> 00:15:43.300
 the darkness,

00:15:43.780 --> 00:15:44.720
 he restores

00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:45.680
 what is broken,

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:46.920
 he renews

00:15:46.920 --> 00:15:47.920
 what is destroyed,

00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:49.440
 he reverses

00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:50.280
 the disorder,

00:15:50.760 --> 00:15:51.820
 lives that have been

00:15:51.820 --> 00:15:52.540
 overwhelmed

00:15:52.540 --> 00:15:53.440
 with darkness

00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:54.740
 burst into

00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:56.120
 glorious light.

00:15:56.740 --> 00:15:57.720
 Where chaos

00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:58.320
 ruled,

00:15:58.600 --> 00:15:59.220
 it is now

00:15:59.220 --> 00:16:00.100
 replaced by

00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:01.180
 calm seas,

00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:02.740
 stilled minds,

00:16:03.140 --> 00:16:04.300
 unimagined peace,

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:05.400
 and new

00:16:05.400 --> 00:16:06.220
 life.

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:09.000
 what awesome

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:10.259
 transformation.

00:16:13.259 --> 00:16:14.300
 But let us not

00:16:14.300 --> 00:16:15.240
 miss the point

00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:16.160
 of all of these

00:16:16.160 --> 00:16:16.639
 events.

00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:18.759
 This is nothing

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:19.320
 less

00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:20.960
 than the power

00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:21.580
 of God

00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:22.800
 on display.

00:16:24.420 --> 00:16:25.420
 Look at how

00:16:25.420 --> 00:16:26.259
 each of these

00:16:26.259 --> 00:16:26.860
 stories

00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:28.180
 develop and

00:16:28.180 --> 00:16:29.580
 build on each

00:16:29.580 --> 00:16:29.820
 other.

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:30.740
 As the disciples

00:16:30.740 --> 00:16:31.700
 sit in the

00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:32.639
 calmness of the

00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:32.899
 sea,

00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:34.000
 after Jesus

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:34.779
 has calmed

00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:35.019
 it.

00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:36.500
 Verse 25,

00:16:39.179 --> 00:16:40.559
 In fear

00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:41.399
 and amazement

00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:42.019
 they asked

00:16:42.019 --> 00:16:42.659
 one another,

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:45.379
 Who is

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:46.019
 this?

00:16:47.319 --> 00:16:48.459
 He commands

00:16:48.459 --> 00:16:49.439
 even the winds

00:16:49.439 --> 00:16:50.139
 and the water

00:16:50.139 --> 00:16:51.100
 and they obey

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:51.500
 him.

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:53.919
 Well,

00:16:53.959 --> 00:16:54.639
 they knew that

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:55.559
 God had created

00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:56.620
 the world by just

00:16:56.620 --> 00:16:57.639
 speaking words.

00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:58.720
 They knew that

00:16:58.720 --> 00:16:59.500
 God alone

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:00.299
 controlled the

00:17:00.299 --> 00:17:00.919
 forces of

00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:01.299
 nature.

00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:02.379
 They knew

00:17:02.379 --> 00:17:04.240
 Psalm 147.

00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:05.639
 He sends

00:17:05.639 --> 00:17:06.400
 his commands

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.220
 to the earth.

00:17:07.579 --> 00:17:08.279
 His word

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:09.319
 runs swiftly.

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:10.400
 He spreads

00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:11.019
 the snow

00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:11.619
 like wool

00:17:11.619 --> 00:17:12.480
 and scatters

00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:12.980
 the frost

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:13.660
 like ashes.

00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:14.639
 He hurls

00:17:14.639 --> 00:17:15.519
 down pebbles

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.099
 or hailstones.

00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:18.339
 Who can withstand

00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:19.680
 his icy blast?

00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:20.779
 He sends

00:17:20.779 --> 00:17:21.460
 his word

00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:22.539
 and melts

00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:22.799
 them.

00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:24.400
 He stirs

00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:25.220
 up the breeze

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:26.039
 and the waters

00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:26.480
 flow.

00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:31.540
 So who

00:17:31.540 --> 00:17:32.340
 is this

00:17:32.340 --> 00:17:34.220
 that stands

00:17:34.220 --> 00:17:35.100
 before us

00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:35.840
 in the boat

00:17:35.840 --> 00:17:37.100
 rebuking

00:17:37.100 --> 00:17:37.700
 nature

00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:38.940
 by his

00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:39.380
 word?

00:17:40.800 --> 00:17:41.660
 Who is

00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:42.140
 this?

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:43.840
 Well,

00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:44.400
 ironically,

00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:45.380
 it's the demons

00:17:45.380 --> 00:17:46.000
 who know

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:46.660
 who Jesus

00:17:46.660 --> 00:17:47.140
 is.

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:47.940
 Look down

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:48.920
 at verse 28.

00:17:49.600 --> 00:17:50.300
 When this

00:17:50.300 --> 00:17:50.740
 man,

00:17:50.840 --> 00:17:51.420
 this demon

00:17:51.420 --> 00:17:51.920
 possessed

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:52.300
 man,

00:17:52.420 --> 00:17:53.280
 saw Jesus,

00:17:53.280 --> 00:17:54.259
 he cried

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:55.259
 out and fell

00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:55.780
 at Jesus'

00:17:56.020 --> 00:17:56.259
 feet,

00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:56.980
 shouting at

00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:57.340
 the top

00:17:57.339 --> 00:17:57.619
 of his

00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:57.899
 voice,

00:17:58.240 --> 00:17:58.819
 what do

00:17:58.819 --> 00:17:59.259
 you want

00:17:59.259 --> 00:17:59.819
 with me?

00:18:00.179 --> 00:18:00.659
 Jesus,

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:01.799
 son of the

00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:02.579
 most high

00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:03.179
 God,

00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:04.199
 a title

00:18:04.199 --> 00:18:04.919
 that's reserved

00:18:04.919 --> 00:18:05.480
 for God

00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:05.839
 alone.

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.659
 I beg you,

00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:09.199
 don't torture

00:18:09.199 --> 00:18:09.500
 me,

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:10.179
 for Jesus

00:18:10.179 --> 00:18:10.919
 had commanded

00:18:10.919 --> 00:18:11.519
 the evil

00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.199
 spirit to

00:18:12.199 --> 00:18:12.619
 come out

00:18:12.619 --> 00:18:12.879
 of the

00:18:12.879 --> 00:18:13.159
 man.

00:18:15.659 --> 00:18:16.759
 We expect

00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:17.279
 that when

00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:18.339
 Jesus meets

00:18:18.339 --> 00:18:18.879
 a demon

00:18:18.879 --> 00:18:19.379
 possessed

00:18:19.379 --> 00:18:19.879
 man,

00:18:20.220 --> 00:18:20.740
 there's going

00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:21.259
 to be some

00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:21.759
 kind of

00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:22.319
 fight,

00:18:22.959 --> 00:18:23.839
 some kind

00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:24.699
 of resistance,

00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:25.819
 that this is

00:18:25.819 --> 00:18:26.200
 going to

00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:26.879
 be difficult

00:18:26.879 --> 00:18:27.359
 and this

00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:27.659
 is going

00:18:27.659 --> 00:18:27.879
 to be

00:18:27.879 --> 00:18:28.399
 hard.

00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:29.460
 Instead,

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:30.000
 when he

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:30.619
 comes to

00:18:30.619 --> 00:18:31.079
 Jesus,

00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:32.460
 he falls

00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:32.939
 at his

00:18:32.939 --> 00:18:33.460
 feet in

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:33.899
 total

00:18:33.899 --> 00:18:34.460
 surrender.

00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:38.859
 Verse 32,

00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:39.599
 a large

00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:40.460
 herd of

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:41.099
 pigs were

00:18:41.099 --> 00:18:41.859
 feeding there

00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:42.139
 on the

00:18:42.139 --> 00:18:42.720
 hillside.

00:18:43.299 --> 00:18:43.919
 The demons

00:18:43.919 --> 00:18:44.939
 begged

00:18:44.939 --> 00:18:46.359
 Jesus to

00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:46.799
 let them

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:47.359
 go into

00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:48.240
 them and

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:49.220
 Jesus gave

00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:49.559
 them

00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:50.579
 permission.

00:18:50.579 --> 00:18:53.019
 when the

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:53.779
 demons came

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:54.179
 out of

00:18:54.179 --> 00:18:54.599
 the man,

00:18:54.679 --> 00:18:55.119
 they went

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:55.579
 into the

00:18:55.579 --> 00:18:56.019
 pigs and

00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:56.399
 the herd

00:18:56.399 --> 00:18:57.099
 rushed down

00:18:57.099 --> 00:18:57.599
 the steep

00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:58.240
 bank into

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:58.679
 the lake

00:18:58.679 --> 00:18:59.699
 and was

00:18:59.699 --> 00:19:00.099
 drowned.

00:19:02.619 --> 00:19:03.119
 Now,

00:19:03.179 --> 00:19:03.359
 I don't

00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:03.639
 want you

00:19:03.639 --> 00:19:03.839
 getting

00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:04.559
 sidetracked

00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:04.939
 worrying

00:19:04.939 --> 00:19:05.480
 about these

00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:06.039
 poor little

00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:07.199
 pigs and

00:19:07.199 --> 00:19:07.619
 their nice

00:19:07.619 --> 00:19:08.240
 little curly

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:08.699
 tails.

00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:10.679
 That's not

00:19:10.679 --> 00:19:11.240
 the point.

00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:13.480
 We are

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:14.159
 to stand

00:19:14.159 --> 00:19:14.799
 back and

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:15.639
 be amazed

00:19:15.639 --> 00:19:16.039
 at the

00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:16.879
 power of

00:19:16.879 --> 00:19:17.339
 God.

00:19:18.299 --> 00:19:18.799
 As

00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:19.480
 satanic

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:20.259
 forces

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:21.039
 crumble

00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:22.299
 at the

00:19:22.299 --> 00:19:22.839
 words of

00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:23.339
 Jesus,

00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:24.640
 begging

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:25.360
 him for

00:19:25.360 --> 00:19:25.860
 permission

00:19:25.860 --> 00:19:27.819
 and obey

00:19:27.819 --> 00:19:28.339
 him at

00:19:28.339 --> 00:19:29.019
 his command

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:29.440
 to their

00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:29.819
 very

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:30.500
 destruction.

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:33.660
 You see,

00:19:33.740 --> 00:19:33.980
 if the

00:19:33.980 --> 00:19:34.860
 disciples are

00:19:34.860 --> 00:19:35.519
 asking the

00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:35.920
 question,

00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:36.579
 who is

00:19:36.579 --> 00:19:37.039
 Jesus?

00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:38.519
 Who is

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:38.940
 this?

00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:40.519
 And the

00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:41.200
 demons get

00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:41.960
 it right by

00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:42.559
 answering,

00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:43.400
 Jesus,

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.200
 son of the

00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:44.779
 most high

00:19:44.779 --> 00:19:45.319
 God,

00:19:47.120 --> 00:19:47.759
 then the

00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:48.480
 woman knows

00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:49.319
 exactly who

00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:49.839
 it is that

00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:50.460
 she must

00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:51.039
 go to.

00:19:51.379 --> 00:19:51.899
 As she

00:19:51.899 --> 00:19:52.619
 reaches out

00:19:52.619 --> 00:19:53.200
 to Jesus,

00:19:53.339 --> 00:19:54.259
 verse 46,

00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:55.740
 Jesus said,

00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:57.299
 someone touched

00:19:57.299 --> 00:19:58.079
 me, I

00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:58.599
 know that

00:19:58.599 --> 00:19:59.819
 power has

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:00.379
 gone out

00:20:00.379 --> 00:20:00.980
 from me.

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:03.539
 She knows

00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:04.019
 where to

00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:04.299
 run,

00:20:04.939 --> 00:20:05.679
 because she

00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:06.480
 knows who

00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:07.379
 Jesus is.

00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:09.359
 Power

00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:10.899
 flows from

00:20:10.899 --> 00:20:11.319
 Jesus.

00:20:12.579 --> 00:20:13.539
 Power over

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:14.659
 destruction in

00:20:14.659 --> 00:20:15.279
 the storms,

00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:16.500
 power over

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:17.139
 the devil,

00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:18.259
 power over

00:20:18.259 --> 00:20:18.920
 disease,

00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:19.900
 and ultimately

00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:20.940
 power over

00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:21.379
 death,

00:20:21.539 --> 00:20:22.279
 as Jesus

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:22.900
 speaks,

00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:23.500
 and the

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:24.259
 very dead

00:20:24.259 --> 00:20:25.140
 are raised

00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:25.980
 to life.

00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:29.160
 Listen to

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:29.839
 his words.

00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:32.619
 Watch and

00:20:32.619 --> 00:20:33.500
 be amazed

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:35.879
 that this

00:20:35.879 --> 00:20:36.640
 is God

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:37.000
 in the

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.599
 person of

00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:38.539
 Jesus Christ

00:20:38.539 --> 00:20:39.799
 intervening

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:40.539
 into the

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:41.059
 lives of

00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:41.480
 ordinary

00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:42.680
 people who

00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:43.359
 are hopeless

00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:44.519
 and powerless

00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:45.759
 and helpless.

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.619
 Now it's

00:20:52.619 --> 00:20:53.319
 important we

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:54.139
 really don't

00:20:54.139 --> 00:20:54.740
 miss this

00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:55.219
 point.

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:57.899
 You see,

00:20:57.959 --> 00:20:58.519
 all that we

00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.799
 see Jesus

00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:00.759
 doing here,

00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.539
 we need to

00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:03.279
 be careful how

00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:04.139
 we think about

00:21:04.139 --> 00:21:04.559
 it for

00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:05.059
 ourselves.

00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:07.659
 This does

00:21:07.659 --> 00:21:08.719
 not mean

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:10.299
 that Jesus

00:21:10.299 --> 00:21:11.519
 promises to

00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:12.880
 calm every

00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:13.519
 storm,

00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:15.420
 banish every

00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:15.980
 evil,

00:21:16.600 --> 00:21:17.559
 heal every

00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:18.079
 sickness,

00:21:18.620 --> 00:21:19.420
 and raise

00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:20.019
 all who

00:21:20.019 --> 00:21:20.360
 die.

00:21:21.339 --> 00:21:22.039
 We should

00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:22.920
 never limit

00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:23.799
 the power

00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:24.380
 of Jesus.

00:21:25.380 --> 00:21:25.900
 We should

00:21:25.900 --> 00:21:26.740
 never limit

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:28.000
 his authority

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:28.980
 over all of

00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:29.620
 these things

00:21:29.620 --> 00:21:30.180
 and at his

00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:31.000
 will to do

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:31.680
 what pleases

00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:32.039
 him.

00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:35.900
 But he does

00:21:35.900 --> 00:21:36.559
 not promise

00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:37.180
 it in every

00:21:37.180 --> 00:21:37.960
 situation.

00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:39.799
 In fact,

00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:40.360
 as Jesus

00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:41.120
 walked this

00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:41.360
 earth,

00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:42.000
 he did

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.519
 not heal

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:43.279
 every single

00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:43.759
 person.

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:45.360
 And every

00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:46.200
 single person

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:46.779
 that Jesus

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:47.500
 did heal,

00:21:48.620 --> 00:21:48.860
 well,

00:21:48.900 --> 00:21:49.460
 they died

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:50.120
 anyway.

00:21:50.500 --> 00:21:51.380
 Even Jairus'

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:52.140
 daughter would

00:21:52.140 --> 00:21:52.940
 have to die

00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:53.680
 again and go

00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:54.019
 through the

00:21:54.019 --> 00:21:54.600
 pain of

00:21:54.600 --> 00:21:54.920
 dying.

00:21:56.579 --> 00:21:57.319
 The miracles

00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:58.019
 of Jesus

00:21:58.019 --> 00:21:58.960
 are not a

00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.720
 promise of a

00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:00.660
 suffering-free

00:22:00.660 --> 00:22:01.839
 life for you

00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:02.500
 and for me.

00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:05.240
 So what

00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:05.720
 are they?

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:07.660
 Well,

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:08.140
 they're here

00:22:08.140 --> 00:22:08.680
 to tell

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:10.640
 us that

00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:11.120
 Jesus

00:22:11.120 --> 00:22:12.040
 confronts

00:22:12.040 --> 00:22:12.680
 the powers

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:13.360
 of darkness

00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:14.240
 and as

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:14.720
 he does

00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:15.020
 so,

00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:16.000
 he displays

00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:16.759
 the power

00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:17.240
 of God

00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:18.020
 to restore

00:22:18.020 --> 00:22:18.759
 and renew

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:19.600
 so that

00:22:19.600 --> 00:22:20.320
 in the

00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:20.880
 darkness,

00:22:22.340 --> 00:22:22.900
 in our

00:22:22.900 --> 00:22:23.520
 powerless

00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:24.280
 and helpless

00:22:24.280 --> 00:22:24.880
 state,

00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:25.900
 we will

00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:27.259
 not fear.

00:22:28.660 --> 00:22:29.120
 Instead,

00:22:29.420 --> 00:22:29.800
 we will

00:22:29.800 --> 00:22:30.480
 run to

00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:31.720
 him in

00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:32.600
 faith.

00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:39.419
 so third,

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:41.500
 Jesus

00:22:41.500 --> 00:22:42.639
 frees us

00:22:42.639 --> 00:22:43.399
 or sets

00:22:43.399 --> 00:22:44.000
 us free

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.539
 by the

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:45.980
 power

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:47.199
 of faith.

00:22:48.199 --> 00:22:49.299
 He sets

00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:49.779
 us free

00:22:49.779 --> 00:22:50.240
 by the

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:50.599
 power

00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:51.939
 of faith.

00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:52.940
 God

00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:53.940
 says,

00:22:53.940 --> 00:22:54.140
 I wondered

00:22:54.140 --> 00:22:54.580
 if you

00:22:54.580 --> 00:22:55.380
 noticed

00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:57.080
 the main

00:22:57.080 --> 00:22:57.600
 emotion

00:22:57.600 --> 00:22:58.039
 or the

00:22:58.039 --> 00:22:58.279
 main

00:22:58.279 --> 00:22:58.880
 reaction

00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:00.100
 in all

00:23:00.100 --> 00:23:00.500
 of these

00:23:00.500 --> 00:23:00.940
 events

00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:01.420
 as we've

00:23:01.420 --> 00:23:01.620
 gone

00:23:01.620 --> 00:23:01.980
 through.

00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:04.640
 It's one

00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:05.180
 of fear.

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:07.299
 There's

00:23:07.299 --> 00:23:07.860
 fear

00:23:07.860 --> 00:23:08.980
 in the

00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:09.440
 storm.

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:11.519
 There's

00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:12.180
 fear of

00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:12.960
 this demon

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:13.480
 possessed

00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:14.100
 man as

00:23:14.100 --> 00:23:14.539
 he lives

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:14.900
 on the

00:23:14.900 --> 00:23:15.259
 edge of

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:15.779
 town and

00:23:15.779 --> 00:23:16.180
 what he's

00:23:16.180 --> 00:23:16.559
 going to

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:16.980
 do to

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:17.480
 the people.

00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:19.519
 there's

00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:20.079
 fear for

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:20.620
 this woman

00:23:20.620 --> 00:23:21.240
 that she's

00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:21.660
 going to

00:23:21.660 --> 00:23:22.259
 be noticed

00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:22.720
 and what

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.160
 are people

00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:23.620
 going to

00:23:23.620 --> 00:23:24.099
 say if

00:23:24.099 --> 00:23:24.579
 they find

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:25.099
 out she's

00:23:25.099 --> 00:23:25.200
 an

00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:25.920
 untouchable.

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:28.980
 There's

00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:29.559
 fear for

00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:30.120
 Jairus

00:23:30.120 --> 00:23:30.980
 as his

00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:31.720
 daughter is

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:32.380
 dying and

00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:33.099
 eventually

00:23:33.099 --> 00:23:34.039
 death takes

00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:34.240
 her.

00:23:36.059 --> 00:23:36.880
 This is

00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:37.779
 normal

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:38.660
 and a

00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:39.120
 natural

00:23:39.120 --> 00:23:40.039
 reaction.

00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:42.539
 And when

00:23:42.539 --> 00:23:43.140
 we can't

00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.960
 control the

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.559
 events or

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:45.500
 the circumstances

00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:46.220
 around us,

00:23:46.360 --> 00:23:47.220
 we begin to

00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:47.799
 panic and

00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:48.779
 we fear.

00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:49.819
 And sometimes

00:23:49.819 --> 00:23:50.920
 fear grips us

00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:51.460
 in such a

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:52.360
 way that it

00:23:52.360 --> 00:23:53.160
 conquers us

00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:53.880
 and controls

00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:54.279
 us.

00:23:54.579 --> 00:23:55.059
 We feel

00:23:55.059 --> 00:23:56.100
 imprisoned by

00:23:56.100 --> 00:23:57.180
 anxiety and

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.579
 worry.

00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:58.539
 No way

00:23:58.539 --> 00:23:58.860
 out.

00:23:59.180 --> 00:23:59.960
 No hope.

00:24:04.380 --> 00:24:05.200
 But there's

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:05.900
 another fear

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:06.680
 going on.

00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:08.860
 Did you

00:24:08.860 --> 00:24:09.660
 notice that?

00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:11.640
 Look at the

00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:12.160
 disciples.

00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:13.940
 They were

00:24:13.940 --> 00:24:14.940
 afraid in

00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:15.620
 the storm.

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:16.279
 They were

00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:17.019
 afraid they

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:17.460
 were going

00:24:17.460 --> 00:24:18.119
 to drown.

00:24:18.579 --> 00:24:19.299
 Then Jesus

00:24:19.299 --> 00:24:20.259
 calms the

00:24:20.259 --> 00:24:20.779
 storm.

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:22.420
 So it's

00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:22.980
 all nice

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:23.539
 and calm.

00:24:23.859 --> 00:24:24.220
 But look

00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:24.500
 at their

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:25.079
 response,

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:25.980
 verse 25.

00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:29.099
 In fear

00:24:29.099 --> 00:24:31.160
 and amazement,

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:32.660
 they asked

00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:33.259
 one another,

00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:34.299
 who is this?

00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:36.259
 He commands

00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:36.759
 even the

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.379
 winds and

00:24:37.379 --> 00:24:37.859
 the water

00:24:37.859 --> 00:24:38.339
 and they

00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:39.000
 obey him.

00:24:40.660 --> 00:24:41.400
 It was the

00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:42.019
 same for the

00:24:42.019 --> 00:24:42.660
 people where

00:24:42.660 --> 00:24:43.180
 the demon

00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:44.039
 possessed man

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.539
 had lived.

00:24:44.539 --> 00:24:45.559
 they were

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:46.299
 afraid of

00:24:46.299 --> 00:24:46.519
 him.

00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:47.440
 He was

00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:47.839
 causing

00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:48.700
 chaos and

00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:49.359
 destruction.

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:50.839
 And then

00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:51.259
 Jesus

00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:52.059
 confronts

00:24:52.059 --> 00:24:52.299
 him and

00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:53.059
 he releases

00:24:53.059 --> 00:24:53.599
 the man

00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:53.980
 from the

00:24:53.980 --> 00:24:54.220
 demon

00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:54.779
 possession.

00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:55.899
 And he's

00:24:55.899 --> 00:24:56.480
 healed and

00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:57.000
 cured and

00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:57.279
 in his

00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:58.019
 right mind.

00:24:58.579 --> 00:24:58.980
 But look

00:24:58.980 --> 00:24:59.200
 at the

00:24:59.200 --> 00:24:59.859
 response of

00:24:59.859 --> 00:25:00.299
 the people,

00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:00.579
 verse

00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:01.119
 25.

00:25:02.779 --> 00:25:03.119
 Sorry,

00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:04.079
 verse 37.

00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:06.279
 then all

00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:06.960
 the people

00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:07.819
 of the

00:25:07.819 --> 00:25:08.419
 region of

00:25:08.419 --> 00:25:08.619
 the

00:25:08.619 --> 00:25:09.299
 Gerasenes

00:25:09.299 --> 00:25:10.819
 asked Jesus

00:25:10.819 --> 00:25:11.619
 to leave

00:25:11.619 --> 00:25:12.879
 them because

00:25:12.879 --> 00:25:13.399
 they were

00:25:13.399 --> 00:25:14.799
 overcome with

00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:15.639
 fear.

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:18.000
 So he

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:18.460
 got into

00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:19.000
 the boat

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:20.879
 and left.

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.480
 You see,

00:25:23.579 --> 00:25:24.480
 when confronted

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.519
 with God's

00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:26.939
 power,

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:29.720
 there is

00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:30.439
 an even

00:25:30.439 --> 00:25:31.079
 greater

00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:32.259
 fear.

00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:33.900
 not just

00:25:33.900 --> 00:25:34.559
 fear of

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:34.779
 the

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:35.599
 circumstances

00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:36.079
 we are

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:36.359
 in,

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:38.240
 but fear

00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:38.779
 of an

00:25:38.779 --> 00:25:39.559
 awesome

00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:40.240
 power.

00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:41.940
 They are

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:42.920
 so terrified

00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:43.879
 that they

00:25:43.879 --> 00:25:44.299
 want to

00:25:44.299 --> 00:25:44.720
 get rid

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:45.200
 of Jesus.

00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:46.519
 Why?

00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:48.579
 Well,

00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:48.759
 they're

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:49.319
 missing the

00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:49.819
 point.

00:25:50.700 --> 00:25:51.259
 They're not

00:25:51.259 --> 00:25:52.279
 grasping who

00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:53.019
 Jesus is.

00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:54.259
 Jesus didn't

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:54.960
 come into the

00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:55.460
 world to

00:25:55.460 --> 00:25:56.420
 terrify us,

00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:57.140
 but to

00:25:57.140 --> 00:25:57.900
 save us.

00:25:58.379 --> 00:25:58.680
 Jesus

00:25:58.680 --> 00:25:59.460
 comes into

00:25:59.460 --> 00:25:59.920
 the world

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:00.680
 to display

00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:01.440
 his power

00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:02.160
 so that

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.539
 we will

00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:03.160
 run to

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:04.080
 him and

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:04.940
 trust him.

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:08.259
 If we

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:09.059
 grasp who

00:26:09.059 --> 00:26:10.019
 Jesus is,

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:12.039
 rather than

00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:12.759
 be conquered

00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:13.600
 by fear,

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:15.039
 we will

00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:15.519
 run to

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:16.019
 him in

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:16.480
 faith.

00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:21.080
 The

00:26:21.080 --> 00:26:21.640
 question

00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:23.019
 Jesus

00:26:23.019 --> 00:26:23.860
 asks his

00:26:23.860 --> 00:26:24.740
 disciples in

00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:25.140
 the boat

00:26:25.140 --> 00:26:25.500
 is the

00:26:25.500 --> 00:26:26.220
 same question

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:26.640
 we all

00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:27.039
 need to

00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:27.360
 ask

00:26:27.360 --> 00:26:28.000
 ourselves.

00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:29.640
 do you

00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:30.000
 see what

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:30.299
 Jesus

00:26:30.299 --> 00:26:30.859
 asked them

00:26:30.859 --> 00:26:31.240
 in verse

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:31.960
 25?

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.099
 The

00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:33.420
 beginning

00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:33.799
 of verse

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.319
 25,

00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:34.880
 he says

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:35.240
 to them,

00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:37.220
 where is

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:37.799
 your

00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:38.819
 faith?

00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:40.799
 Where is

00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:41.339
 your faith?

00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:43.900
 Who do

00:26:43.900 --> 00:26:44.619
 you trust?

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:47.059
 Who do

00:26:47.059 --> 00:26:47.559
 you run

00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:48.200
 to in the

00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:48.980
 chaos and

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:49.759
 brokenness of

00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:50.019
 life?

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:50.700
 When we're

00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:51.220
 out of

00:26:51.220 --> 00:26:51.720
 options,

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:53.980
 when we're

00:26:53.980 --> 00:26:54.859
 powerless and

00:26:54.859 --> 00:26:55.220
 helpless,

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.299
 where do

00:26:56.299 --> 00:26:57.359
 you turn?

00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:00.720
 Well,

00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:01.640
 Jairus and

00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:02.019
 the woman

00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:02.900
 show us

00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:04.539
 where we

00:27:04.539 --> 00:27:05.140
 should turn

00:27:05.140 --> 00:27:05.700
 and what

00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:06.880
 faith is

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:07.279
 like.

00:27:08.660 --> 00:27:09.339
 First,

00:27:10.019 --> 00:27:11.700
 we need

00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:12.400
 a desperate

00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:13.500
 faith.

00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:14.960
 Verse

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.599
 41,

00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:17.619
 then a

00:27:17.619 --> 00:27:18.220
 man named

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:18.819
 Jairus,

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:19.720
 a ruler of

00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:20.319
 the synagogue.

00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:20.720
 Now,

00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:21.900
 a ruler of

00:27:21.900 --> 00:27:22.359
 the synagogue

00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:23.160
 is a very

00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:24.220
 high position.

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.420
 You are

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:26.460
 well respected.

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:29.039
 People kind

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.680
 of tilt

00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:30.119
 the head

00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:30.759
 to you.

00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:34.380
 A ruler

00:27:34.380 --> 00:27:34.740
 of the

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:35.099
 synagogue

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:36.099
 came and

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:38.019
 fell at

00:27:38.019 --> 00:27:38.380
 Jesus'

00:27:38.660 --> 00:27:39.019
 feet,

00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:40.660
 pleading

00:27:40.660 --> 00:27:41.779
 with him

00:27:41.779 --> 00:27:42.220
 to come

00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:42.640
 to his

00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:43.059
 house.

00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:45.160
 Again,

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:45.539
 you get

00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:46.119
 the sense

00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:46.839
 that Jairus

00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:47.900
 knows something

00:27:47.900 --> 00:27:48.440
 of who

00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:49.240
 Jesus is,

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:50.099
 and rather

00:27:50.099 --> 00:27:50.700
 than run

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:51.359
 in fear,

00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:52.200
 he runs

00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:52.940
 in faith.

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:54.140
 He falls

00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:54.799
 at Jesus'

00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:55.559
 feet in

00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:56.140
 desperation.

00:27:56.140 --> 00:27:56.960
 He has

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:57.780
 nowhere else

00:27:57.780 --> 00:27:58.160
 to go

00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:58.380
 to,

00:27:58.620 --> 00:27:59.160
 no one

00:27:59.160 --> 00:27:59.600
 else to

00:27:59.600 --> 00:28:00.240
 turn to.

00:28:01.420 --> 00:28:01.780
 He

00:28:01.780 --> 00:28:02.320
 humbles

00:28:02.320 --> 00:28:02.840
 himself

00:28:02.840 --> 00:28:03.320
 before

00:28:03.320 --> 00:28:03.759
 Jesus,

00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:04.500
 throwing

00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:05.220
 everything

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:06.180
 at him.

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:06.940
 Everything

00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:07.780
 rests on

00:28:07.780 --> 00:28:08.300
 what Jesus

00:28:08.300 --> 00:28:08.820
 will do.

00:28:10.540 --> 00:28:10.880
 He

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:11.740
 depends on

00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:12.180
 him and

00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:12.759
 him alone.

00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:14.360
 That's

00:28:14.360 --> 00:28:15.620
 what faith

00:28:15.620 --> 00:28:16.360
 is.

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:17.620
 It's

00:28:17.620 --> 00:28:17.900
 saying,

00:28:18.140 --> 00:28:18.280
 without

00:28:18.280 --> 00:28:19.340
 Jesus,

00:28:20.060 --> 00:28:20.759
 I will

00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:21.700
 not get

00:28:21.700 --> 00:28:22.140
 through

00:28:22.140 --> 00:28:22.580
 this.

00:28:22.900 --> 00:28:23.960
 I need

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:24.259
 you.

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:26.819
 don't

00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:27.019
 be

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:27.460
 conquered

00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:28.740
 by your

00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:29.160
 fear.

00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:30.339
 Run

00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:30.940
 to him

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:32.000
 in

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.440
 faith.

00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:35.859
 But we

00:28:35.859 --> 00:28:36.599
 also need

00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:37.640
 what I

00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:38.200
 just term

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:38.680
 here a

00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:39.079
 touching

00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:39.660
 faith.

00:28:40.619 --> 00:28:41.019
 Look at

00:28:41.019 --> 00:28:42.059
 verse 44.

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:44.279
 Look at

00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:44.660
 how the

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:46.119
 woman comes

00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:46.700
 to Jesus.

00:28:46.859 --> 00:28:47.339
 She came

00:28:47.339 --> 00:28:48.319
 up behind

00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:48.839
 him,

00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:50.240
 secretly,

00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:52.240
 and touched

00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:53.299
 the edge

00:28:53.299 --> 00:28:53.799
 of his

00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:54.299
 cloak,

00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:54.680
 and

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:55.379
 immediately

00:28:55.379 --> 00:28:55.759
 her

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.119
 bleeding

00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:56.680
 stopped.

00:28:57.139 --> 00:28:57.500
 Who

00:28:57.500 --> 00:28:58.440
 touched

00:28:58.440 --> 00:28:58.799
 me?

00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:00.139
 Jesus

00:29:00.139 --> 00:29:00.759
 asked.

00:29:01.460 --> 00:29:01.919
 When they

00:29:01.919 --> 00:29:02.500
 all denied

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:02.779
 it,

00:29:02.899 --> 00:29:03.899
 Peter said,

00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:04.440
 Master,

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.519
 the people

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:06.200
 are crowding

00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:06.720
 and pressing

00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:07.180
 against you.

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:07.480
 I mean,

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:08.119
 everybody's

00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:08.599
 touching you.

00:29:08.639 --> 00:29:08.859
 What do

00:29:08.859 --> 00:29:09.379
 you think?

00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:11.399
 But Jesus

00:29:11.399 --> 00:29:11.799
 said,

00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:12.480
 someone

00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:13.279
 touched

00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:13.680
 me,

00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:15.220
 and I

00:29:15.220 --> 00:29:15.680
 know that

00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:16.359
 power has

00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:16.879
 gone out

00:29:16.879 --> 00:29:17.559
 from me.

00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:19.419
 Remember,

00:29:19.539 --> 00:29:20.000
 this woman

00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.000
 is religiously

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.680
 unclean.

00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:23.240
 Because of

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:23.799
 her bleeding,

00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:24.220
 she's

00:29:24.220 --> 00:29:25.500
 untouchable.

00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:27.059
 If she

00:29:27.059 --> 00:29:27.480
 touches

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:27.900
 someone,

00:29:28.059 --> 00:29:28.720
 they become

00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:29.480
 unclean.

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:30.940
 She could

00:29:30.940 --> 00:29:31.339
 lose her

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:32.059
 life over

00:29:32.059 --> 00:29:32.420
 this.

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:33.259
 But when

00:29:33.259 --> 00:29:34.000
 she reaches

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:34.559
 out and

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:34.960
 touches

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:35.579
 Jesus,

00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:36.900
 she becomes

00:29:36.900 --> 00:29:37.319
 clean.

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:39.019
 Her life

00:29:39.019 --> 00:29:40.099
 and circumstances

00:29:40.099 --> 00:29:41.039
 are changed.

00:29:41.660 --> 00:29:41.920
 And in

00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:42.400
 case we

00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:42.960
 think that

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.759
 somehow there's

00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:44.700
 something magical

00:29:44.700 --> 00:29:45.440
 going on,

00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:46.539
 that Jesus'

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:47.579
 clothes have

00:29:47.579 --> 00:29:48.180
 power to

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:48.500
 heal,

00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:49.319
 look how

00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:50.319
 Jesus responds.

00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:51.059
 He wants

00:29:51.059 --> 00:29:52.960
 everybody to

00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:53.639
 make sure

00:29:53.639 --> 00:29:55.019
 how this

00:29:55.019 --> 00:29:55.599
 healing has

00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:56.000
 happened,

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.919
 including us.

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.779
 Verse 47,

00:29:58.899 --> 00:29:59.480
 Then the woman,

00:29:59.679 --> 00:30:00.279
 seeing that she

00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:00.919
 could not go

00:30:00.919 --> 00:30:01.519
 unnoticed,

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:02.919
 came trembling

00:30:02.919 --> 00:30:04.679
 and fell at

00:30:04.679 --> 00:30:05.159
 his feet,

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:05.720
 again in

00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:06.439
 desperation.

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:07.460
 In the

00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:08.240
 presence of

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:09.139
 all the

00:30:09.139 --> 00:30:09.899
 people looking

00:30:09.899 --> 00:30:10.599
 in at her,

00:30:10.939 --> 00:30:12.079
 she told why

00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:12.619
 she had

00:30:12.619 --> 00:30:13.439
 touched him

00:30:13.439 --> 00:30:14.779
 and how she

00:30:14.779 --> 00:30:15.079
 had been

00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:16.019
 instantly healed.

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:17.619
 Then Jesus

00:30:17.619 --> 00:30:18.299
 said to her,

00:30:18.299 --> 00:30:18.740
 daughter,

00:30:19.259 --> 00:30:20.139
 your faith

00:30:20.140 --> 00:30:21.860
 has healed

00:30:21.860 --> 00:30:22.200
 you.

00:30:23.520 --> 00:30:24.160
 Go in

00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:24.640
 peace.

00:30:25.620 --> 00:30:26.200
 It's her

00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:27.480
 faith in

00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:28.380
 Jesus

00:30:28.380 --> 00:30:29.880
 that heals.

00:30:31.060 --> 00:30:31.600
 Everybody

00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:32.460
 else is

00:30:32.460 --> 00:30:33.420
 crowding around

00:30:33.420 --> 00:30:34.060
 and touching

00:30:34.060 --> 00:30:34.660
 and pushing

00:30:34.660 --> 00:30:35.560
 against Jesus

00:30:35.560 --> 00:30:36.740
 but nothing

00:30:36.740 --> 00:30:37.440
 happens.

00:30:39.020 --> 00:30:39.640
 But this

00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:40.780
 woman reaches

00:30:40.780 --> 00:30:41.620
 out in

00:30:41.620 --> 00:30:42.360
 frail,

00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:44.040
 secret

00:30:44.040 --> 00:30:45.160
 faith.

00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:45.279
 faith.

00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:47.519
 That's

00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:48.040
 what faith

00:30:48.040 --> 00:30:48.500
 is.

00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:50.200
 Reaching

00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:51.200
 out to

00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:51.580
 Jesus

00:30:51.580 --> 00:30:53.519
 and simply

00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:54.060
 trusting

00:30:54.060 --> 00:30:55.640
 in him.

00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:57.680
 Don't be

00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:58.480
 conquered by

00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:59.140
 your fear.

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.279
 Run to

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:01.640
 him

00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:03.460
 in faith.

00:31:03.460 --> 00:31:03.600
 faith.

00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:06.940
 And then

00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:07.500
 last,

00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:10.680
 Jesus

00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:11.420
 gives

00:31:11.420 --> 00:31:11.880
 hope

00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:12.559
 through the

00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:13.340
 power of

00:31:13.340 --> 00:31:13.960
 his death

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:14.759
 and

00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:15.380
 resurrection.

00:31:16.180 --> 00:31:16.880
 Jesus

00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:17.579
 gives hope

00:31:17.579 --> 00:31:18.000
 through the

00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:18.480
 power of

00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:18.900
 his death

00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:19.079
 and

00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:19.620
 resurrection.

00:31:20.740 --> 00:31:21.019
 You see,

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:21.799
 these stories

00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:22.160
 are,

00:31:23.819 --> 00:31:24.160
 yes,

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:24.559
 they're

00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:25.259
 amazing

00:31:25.259 --> 00:31:25.920
 stories,

00:31:26.299 --> 00:31:26.900
 but they're

00:31:26.900 --> 00:31:27.680
 stories that

00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:28.759
 push and

00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:29.519
 point to

00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:29.900
 an even

00:31:29.900 --> 00:31:30.400
 bigger

00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:31.720
 and ultimate

00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:32.339
 story.

00:31:34.299 --> 00:31:35.299
 What these

00:31:35.299 --> 00:31:36.240
 stories tell

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:36.740
 us about

00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:37.180
 is that

00:31:37.180 --> 00:31:37.900
 what Jesus

00:31:37.900 --> 00:31:38.579
 did for

00:31:38.579 --> 00:31:39.460
 some people

00:31:39.460 --> 00:31:40.000
 here,

00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:41.920
 he has

00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:42.519
 done for

00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:43.420
 all through

00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:44.100
 his death

00:31:44.100 --> 00:31:44.880
 and resurrection.

00:31:45.620 --> 00:31:46.500
 What Jesus

00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:47.079
 has done

00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:47.799
 for some

00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:48.400
 here,

00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:49.120
 he has

00:31:49.120 --> 00:31:49.700
 done for

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:50.700
 all who

00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:51.319
 will trust

00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:52.240
 him through

00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:52.819
 his death

00:31:52.819 --> 00:31:53.660
 and resurrection.

00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:55.620
 As Jesus

00:31:55.620 --> 00:31:56.559
 would go to

00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:57.240
 the cross,

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:58.559
 it is at

00:31:58.559 --> 00:31:59.140
 the cross

00:31:59.140 --> 00:31:59.640
 where he

00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:00.600
 confronts

00:32:00.600 --> 00:32:01.480
 the powers

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:02.220
 of darkness

00:32:02.220 --> 00:32:03.700
 in all

00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:04.740
 its terror.

00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:06.319
 At the

00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:06.860
 cross he

00:32:06.860 --> 00:32:07.360
 went to

00:32:07.360 --> 00:32:08.339
 war against

00:32:08.339 --> 00:32:09.299
 sin and

00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:09.779
 Satan.

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:10.579
 And as

00:32:10.579 --> 00:32:11.660
 Jesus died,

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:12.200
 it seemed

00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:12.960
 that evil

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:13.660
 has won,

00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:14.700
 darkness

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:15.380
 descended,

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:16.480
 the demons

00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:17.160
 laugh.

00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:20.299
 But three

00:32:20.299 --> 00:32:21.039
 days later

00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:22.000
 Jesus rises

00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:22.640
 again from

00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:23.240
 the grave.

00:32:24.539 --> 00:32:24.960
 He has

00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:25.500
 defeated

00:32:25.500 --> 00:32:25.980
 sin.

00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:27.299
 He has

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:27.860
 defeated

00:32:27.860 --> 00:32:28.420
 Satan.

00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:29.380
 He has

00:32:29.380 --> 00:32:29.940
 conquered

00:32:29.940 --> 00:32:30.880
 sickness and

00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.140
 death.

00:32:31.140 --> 00:32:31.820
 He has

00:32:31.820 --> 00:32:32.480
 disarmed

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:33.160
 the evil

00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:33.880
 powers and

00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:34.380
 authority.

00:32:34.780 --> 00:32:35.160
 He has

00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:35.840
 destroyed

00:32:35.840 --> 00:32:36.600
 the devil

00:32:36.600 --> 00:32:37.520
 who holds

00:32:37.520 --> 00:32:38.140
 the power

00:32:38.140 --> 00:32:38.680
 of death.

00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:39.600
 Jesus

00:32:39.600 --> 00:32:40.340
 rose

00:32:40.340 --> 00:32:41.200
 victorious

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:42.780
 and triumphs

00:32:42.780 --> 00:32:43.400
 over all

00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:44.540
 with absolute

00:32:44.540 --> 00:32:45.700
 power and

00:32:45.700 --> 00:32:46.380
 supreme

00:32:46.380 --> 00:32:47.000
 authority.

00:32:48.660 --> 00:32:49.880
 This is

00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:50.480
 the God

00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:51.160
 that we

00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:51.560
 are to

00:32:51.560 --> 00:32:52.040
 look to.

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:53.180
 This is

00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:53.660
 the God

00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:54.100
 that we

00:32:54.100 --> 00:32:54.820
 can trust.

00:32:56.280 --> 00:32:56.980
 He sets

00:32:56.980 --> 00:32:57.600
 us free

00:32:57.600 --> 00:32:58.180
 from our

00:32:58.180 --> 00:32:58.900
 fear today.

00:32:58.900 --> 00:33:00.640
 and he

00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:01.120
 gives us

00:33:01.120 --> 00:33:01.680
 the hope

00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:02.360
 of eternal

00:33:02.360 --> 00:33:02.960
 freedom

00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:03.860
 to come.

00:33:05.620 --> 00:33:06.280
 This is

00:33:06.280 --> 00:33:06.780
 the God

00:33:06.780 --> 00:33:07.380
 who says

00:33:07.380 --> 00:33:08.220
 to us,

00:33:09.800 --> 00:33:10.360
 daughter,

00:33:11.360 --> 00:33:13.240
 my son,

00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:16.120
 go in

00:33:16.120 --> 00:33:16.980
 peace.

00:33:18.180 --> 00:33:18.960
 Do not

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.580
 let the

00:33:19.580 --> 00:33:20.280
 fears of

00:33:20.280 --> 00:33:21.080
 the darkness

00:33:21.080 --> 00:33:22.300
 overcome

00:33:22.300 --> 00:33:22.820
 you.

00:33:23.420 --> 00:33:24.920
 Go in

00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:25.519
 peace.

00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.740
 and this

00:33:27.740 --> 00:33:28.099
 is the

00:33:28.099 --> 00:33:28.480
 God

00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:28.900
 who will

00:33:28.900 --> 00:33:29.460
 say to

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:29.819
 us,

00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:31.259
 for surely

00:33:31.259 --> 00:33:31.799
 when that

00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:32.279
 day will

00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:32.680
 come,

00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:33.139
 when we

00:33:33.139 --> 00:33:34.500
 all die,

00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:36.879
 whether it

00:33:36.879 --> 00:33:37.480
 comes through

00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:38.180
 the process

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:38.879
 of time

00:33:38.879 --> 00:33:40.680
 or whether

00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:41.200
 it comes

00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:41.740
 suddenly,

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:44.019
 we will

00:33:44.019 --> 00:33:44.619
 hear the

00:33:44.619 --> 00:33:45.180
 words of

00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:45.879
 Jesus say

00:33:45.879 --> 00:33:46.480
 to us,

00:33:46.980 --> 00:33:47.759
 my child,

00:33:48.639 --> 00:33:49.299

00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:52.139

00:33:52.139 --> 00:33:52.919
 will rise

00:33:52.919 --> 00:33:54.079
 and we

00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:54.500
 will live

00:33:54.500 --> 00:33:54.940
 with him

00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:55.519

00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:56.079
 eternity

00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:57.379
 in a

00:33:57.379 --> 00:33:57.779
 world

00:33:57.779 --> 00:33:58.419
 absence

00:33:58.419 --> 00:33:59.419
 of darkness

00:33:59.419 --> 00:34:00.259
 and evil

00:34:00.259 --> 00:34:00.960
 and sin

00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:01.659
 and sickness

00:34:01.659 --> 00:34:02.440
 and disease

00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:03.259
 and death.

00:34:05.259 --> 00:34:06.139
 Do not

00:34:06.139 --> 00:34:06.480
 fear.

00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:08.639
 Go in

00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:09.099

00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:41.120
 Lord,

00:34:41.240 --> 00:34:41.880
 what can we

00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:42.420
 do but

00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:43.019
 other than

00:34:43.019 --> 00:34:44.420
 bow before

00:34:44.420 --> 00:34:46.800
 you and

00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:47.460
 fall at

00:34:47.460 --> 00:34:48.060
 your feet

00:34:48.059 --> 00:34:50.239
 just like

00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:50.920
 Jairus,

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:52.860
 just like

00:34:52.860 --> 00:34:53.340
 the woman.

00:34:55.659 --> 00:34:56.420
 For we

00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:57.099
 have nowhere

00:34:57.099 --> 00:34:57.719
 else to

00:34:57.719 --> 00:34:58.000
 go.

00:34:59.000 --> 00:34:59.619
 We have

00:34:59.619 --> 00:35:00.000
 no one

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.480
 else to

00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:00.980
 run to.

00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:04.599
 You are

00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:05.259
 Lord and

00:35:05.259 --> 00:35:05.579
 you are

00:35:05.579 --> 00:35:05.940
 God.

00:35:08.460 --> 00:35:09.179
 You are

00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:09.759
 powerful,

00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:12.000
 And you

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.779
 have displayed

00:35:14.779 --> 00:35:15.460
 that power

00:35:15.460 --> 00:35:15.980
 through your

00:35:15.980 --> 00:35:16.619
 death and

00:35:16.619 --> 00:35:17.119
 through your

00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:17.679
 resurrection.

00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:17.779
 salvation.

00:35:19.539 --> 00:35:20.119
 And

00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:20.759
 therefore we

00:35:20.759 --> 00:35:21.519
 stand,

00:35:23.019 --> 00:35:24.119
 not

00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:25.279
 conquered by

00:35:25.279 --> 00:35:25.759
 fear,

00:35:26.759 --> 00:35:28.019
 but going

00:35:28.019 --> 00:35:28.739
 in peace

00:35:28.739 --> 00:35:30.599

 Thank you

00:35:35.419 --> 00:35:35.859
 that you

00:35:35.859 --> 00:35:36.419
