Dear friends,

Suffering has a place close to my heart because I’ve suffered from both a Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Irritable Bowel Syndrome since I was a young child.

Suffering can be horrible. I know that well.

I also know that many people suffer and hide it effectively, so we don’t always know who it is around us who suffer.

Our Father in Heaven has a heart for these people. We ought to as well.

Imagine being ill for 12 years and the despair of, not only suffering through your disease for so long, but the added pain that even your family would not hug you, hold your hand, or even touch you.

In the time of Jesus, this is how women with any bleeding issues were treated. They were considered “unclean” and untouchable.

I recently preached a sermon is from Mark 5, where Jesus encounters a woman who had constant bleeding for 12 years.

Jesus forever changed this woman’s life in the way he responded to her.

All of us are “unclean” in God’s eyes, and like the woman in Mark 5, we’ll see that we need the cleansing only God can give when we reach out to Jesus.

I invite you to check out this new sermon below…
