Desperate for God When I Need Healing

Summary
Luke 8 presents two parallel stories of desperate faith: a bleeding woman touches Jesus' garment and is immediately healed, and Jairus' dead daughter is raised to life. The sermon teaches that Jesus embodies tenderness and grace, desires our trust amid health crises, and alone can accomplish what no one else can.
Highlights
Jesus is the ultimate example of tenderness, grace, and mercy. He does not shun her, shame her, or be mean to her, but with tenderness, grace, and mercy, said, daughter, your faith has made you well.
If you wonder if God loves you, if you wonder if God is aware of what you're walking through, if you wonder if God is a distant God who has no idea what's going on in your life—that could not be further from the truth.
Healing is coming for the believer one way or the other. That's the hope of heaven. That's the confidence of every follower of Jesus.
