Speaker 3 (01:38):
That when you belay boundless belief, it enlivens.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Turn with me to the gospel reading for the day.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
The gospel reading can be found in Mark chapter five. Now,
the gospel reading listed for today was kind of short,
but we're going to take that deep dive because it's
twenty twenty five into this Divine Word and walk through
it so that it cleanses us, making us a new being,
(02:14):
so that it increases our faith, so that we can
be free, so that we can display the same kindness
that Jesus conveys and the boundless belief that literally creates
(02:39):
new life. Let's drop down to verse twenty one.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Read it with me. It says, when Jesus had again.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake,
a large crowded around him while he was by the lake.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Then one of the synagogue leaders, one of the synagogue leaders,
a leader in their community named.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Jaerus, came and when he saw Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
What does it say that he did? Dante, that's right.
What does it say?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Read it out loud. It says that he fell at
Jesus's feet. He pleaded earnestly with him, my little daughter
is dying. Please come and put your hands on her.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Please come.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
My daughter, that she may be healed and live.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Jbrews had this fierce, fearless faith. This fierce fearless faith
allowed him to see Jesus as he was, see Jesus as.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Who he was, allowing this leader of the synagogue to
literally fall. His faith allowed him to fall and freed
him to fall at the feet of Jesus, so that
(04:51):
he could earnestly request, through.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
His fears fearless faith, that his daughter might live. If
Jesus would only touch.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Place. His hand was the request on her because when he.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Approached Jesus, she was dying. She wasn't dead yet, she
was dying.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And his.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Belief the word for faith, belief is the same word
in Greek.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Its pastis his faith. His belief.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Allowed him to believe and know in his heart that
Jesus could save his dying daughter. And what did Jesus say.
Jesus gives us the divine example of who we are
to be each and every day. Jesus didn't say, hey,
(06:08):
wait a minute, Jesus, it says, went with him that
conveys of cascading kindness, a kindness that enlivens. A large
(06:33):
crowd followed and pressed around Jesus, it says. In verse
twenty five, it says a woman. A woman was there
who had been subject to bleeding for how many years?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Twelve?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
She had been leaning for twelve years. She had suffered
a great deal under the care of many, not just one,
not too many doctors, and had spent all she had.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
When she heard, listen, when.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
She heard, when she heard about Jesus, she came up.
She came up behind him. She came up behind him.
In the crowd and touched, it says, his cloak. The
(07:39):
word touched in Greek is ibisato, ibisatto.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
It says, ibisato. She ipisato him.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Now we have to understand what this word ibisato means.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Ibasato apeto. Ibosato means to touch. Yes, it also means
to light on.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
She lit upon Jesus with a transfer request of energy,
like lighting upon putting a ball into an electric socket.
She wanted to draw some energy from Jesus. She lit
upon Jesus because this word ibisuto means to light upon,
but it means that there's going to be a transfer.
(08:30):
It's an impactful touch, a touch that draws and influences.
It's a touch that attaches oneself. Ibisubto It says she
touched Jesus's cloak because she thought, if I a basulman,
(09:00):
if I touch if I eposome, if I touch.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
His clothes, eye will be healed. This is a woman
with fierce, fearless faith, wanting to.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
Be saved, freed of her twelve years of bleeding, depending
on Jesus cascading through.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
That lit of a touch, cascating kindness upon her through
the transfer. This electrified lit upon transfer touch.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Immediately, it says, how, Deborah, that's right. Immediately, this is
important to say it with me, immediately, Immediately. Immediately, her
bleeding stopped, and she felt in her.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Body that she.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Was freed from her suffering fears, fearless, faith will free you.
At once Jesus realized that power.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Right, she connected that light bulb into she connected it
into Jesus.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
At once, Jesus felt that attachment, that transfer of energy
that she was drawing out. At once, it says, Jesus
realized that power.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Had gone out of him. He turned. He turned, it
says around in the crowd, looking. Jesus is looking for.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Who drew that energy, Who attached themselves lit upon him.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
And pulled that energy out. Jesus is looking around the crowd, and.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
He says, who touched my clothes? His disciples, His disciples
are like, excuse me.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You see all these people.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Crowding against you, And yet you can ask who touched me?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Who lit upon me?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Posuctor, who attached themselves plugged ben and drew some energy
out of me?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You can ask that question.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
But Jesus kept looking, kept looking, kept looking.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Around to see who had done it. Then the woman,
knowing what had happened to her, came and.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Thou thou at his feet, and trembling with fear, told
him the whole truth.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
He said to her daughter, Jesus is saying to you.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You who have that audacious faith.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Jesus is saying to you, you who.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Have that bowerless belief.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Jesus is saying to you, daughter, son, my child, my sibling, daughter.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Your faith.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
And it says, probably in your translation, unless you're reading
King James, your faith has healed you.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Now. The King James sometimes says, has saved you. And
the word he says this phrase in the Greek the word.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Is piece these sue say sosikin which means.
Speaker 10 (13:36):
Save, saved you, saved you from twelve years of bleeding,
saved you from the drug habit, from the alcohol addiction.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Jesus is here to save you. Pornography.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
What is it that is taking you out of the eyesight,
out of the line of Jesus.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
Jesus says, your faith can save you. Your faith, that fierce,
fearless faith that falls at the feet of Jesus requesting.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
To be saved, to be freed. And you may not
even have the words like this woman. But you can
light on attach yourself to the clock of Jesus by
diving into the divine word of God each and every day.
(14:40):
You may be thinking, well, very I don't have time
to read. Hey, if you are listening to music, you
can listen to the word. Take a moment, listen to
the word. Dive into that divine word. Daughter, Your faith
has healed you.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Go in peace and be What does it.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Say there, Tommy, be free, be free, be free, be
freed from your suffering.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, Jesus was still speaking.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Some people came from the house of jars the synagogue leader,
and said, you know your daughter is dead. They said,
why bother the leader anymore? Jesus overheard them. Jesus overheard
these people speaking to Jerrus. How many times have people
(15:44):
tried to tell you when you've latched on, attached to
lit on the cloak of Jesus the divine word. Hey, man,
that word is going to help you out. You might
as well just go on home. The minute you start
to have fierce face, the minute you start to convey kindness,
(16:05):
the minute you start to have boundless belief, know that
the naysayers are gonna surround you and tell you to
don't even attach yourself to Jesus. Jesus overheard them, and
(16:29):
I can imagine Jerus and his feelings. He was probably thinking, Wow,
I came here to see Jesus.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I finally get to him. He decides to come with me.
Speaker 12 (16:44):
And yet.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I thought, my daughter dies, my daughter dies, and I'm
not even there.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
And Jesus says this, mefobu, monone, pisteve, mefobu, have no fear.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Do not fear me, fobu, do not fear.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Jesus says, don't be afraid, manone pisteve, Just.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Pisteve believe. Don't be afraid, just believe. Don't listen to
the naysayers. Just believe.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Don't allow yourself to take your attachment someplace else.
Speaker 13 (17:39):
Just believe, PISTEVI have faith, be kind and believe.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
He did not let anyone follow him except Peter James and.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
John, the brother of James.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
When they came to the home of the synagogue leader,
Jesus saw the commotion.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
People were crying and wailing loudly. He went in and
said to them, why all this commotion and wailing. The
child is not dead but asleep. The child is not dead.
But asleep. And this is why he chose.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
To not let anyone else follow him, but the believers,
Peter James, John Jerous, the family, close family, because they
laughed at him when he said, she's just sleeping. After
(18:53):
he put them all out, he took the child's father
and mother and the disciples.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
These are the believers, those.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Who have faith, who were with him, and went in
where the child was.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Jesus reached out what was that word? What was that
word that we were talking about? Do you remember? It's
about touch iposato abotto.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Jesus reached out his hand and he began to transfer
that energy by attaching himself to her. Could you imagine
being attached to Jesus in this way?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It only takes faith.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Jesus reached out, it says, and he took her by
the hand and said to her, talitha coom, which means
in Aramaic talitha means little girl.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Goom in the Arabic means stand up.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Now. I don't know what your version says. It might say,
get up, stand up, talatha coom, stand up little girl.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Immediately.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Now this go back. This is just like the woman
who had been bleeding for twelve years. She lit upon Jesus,
she touched, She attached herself to Jesus through faith, and
immediately the blood stopped.
Speaker 14 (20:45):
Immediately, it says, immediately after saying to Litha com immediately
after touching the girl eposoma, Immediately.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
The girl stood up.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Immediately, the girl stood up and began to walk around. Immediately,
the girl stood and began to walk around. It says,
(21:30):
at this they were completely astonished.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
He gave strict orders.
Speaker 15 (21:37):
Jesus gave strict orders not to tell anyone about this,
and he said, go and get her something to eat.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Fears, fearless, faithrease you. Conveying cascading kindness, like the kindness
of Jesus saying yes, I will come with you, Yes
you can touch me. Your faith has healed you.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Touching the girl, the kindness of Jesus, conveying cascading kindness,
It changes you, and it changes.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
The others around you.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Belaying, belaying, boundless belief enlivens, enlivens, creating an environment.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Where we can all live and stand up.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
This past week, I was fortunate enough to go to
a place that I absolutely love to go.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
My daughter and I go often, and when.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
My colleagues say, well, where are you going? I'm always
I always say adult camp. I used to send my
daughter to spring Hill Camp, if you're familiar with spring
Hill camps. And they had all these wonderful things to do,
and I think, oh, I'd love to do some of that.
That looks so much fun. And I remember sending her
also to Royal Ridges.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Oh, I'd love to do some of this. I'd have
so much fun. Well, this is like adult camp. And
I went.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
To have some time away, some time to recharge and
plug in. And I'll never forget being in the cafeteria area.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And a fellow was bringing out watermelon.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
And when I work out hard, I love watermelon because
it replenishes my lost, lost sweating water that comes profusely
out of me.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So I'd eat a ton of watermelon.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
And I noticed when i'd walked by earlier, the watermelon
plate had just a few pieces, and.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I'm like, yeah, I want to a bunch of picked
over pieces. So I saw him, I followed him. I
followed him to where he was going to put the
watermelon down.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
And I like to have conversations with the folks who
are there because.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
There's just so many amazing narratives of the folks.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
And I asked the person as I was getting the
watermelon and putting it onto my plate, I said, hey,
I said, so, tell me what's your name? And it
usually says.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Their name and their word on there, and.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
So he said, well, my name is so and so.
And I'm like, oh, nice to meet you. And I'm
just gonna call him Stephen. Nice to meet you, Stephen,
and he said great. And I said, well, what is
your name? What does your word mean?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Stephen? And he's like, well, it's a long story, and
I'm like, I've got time.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
And Stephen went on to tell me that his word
was faith, faith, faith like the fierce, fearless faith of
j Rus who fell at the feet of Jesus. Faith
like the faith, fearless faith of the woman who had
been bleeding, who attaches herself right lights upon Jesus.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
His word is faith. Stephen goes on to tell me.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
About his addictions, and he's like, but I will tell you.
When he found out my name was Pastor Vie, well
I'll tell you, Pastor Vera, I wouldn't change a thing.
Yes I've done bad things, and yes I've done bad
things to my body, but I wouldn't change a thing
because it brought me here to have this fierce, fearless faith,
(25:56):
and now I am free.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
He didn't say it like that, but I am saying
like that for him.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
He is free, just like the woman who was immediately
free of her bleeding.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
He is free.
Speaker 16 (26:11):
Steved is free from his drug addiction. He is free
from his alcohol addiction. He is free from his past.
Through his faith, he has.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Been saved, freed, freed from all that had set him back.
Fierce fearless faith will free you. I went with my
(26:57):
niece to this old camp that I like to go to,
and when we have been preparing our activities, there was
this one activity that's called Giants Ladder.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
She said, I'd like to sign up for that.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Now you gotta understand, my niece is a fierce climber.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
She loves to rock climb and.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
She puts her hands in those little hold and I
can't hate rock climbing. I'm not trying my fingers. I
know they're not that strong. I'm just gonna be telling
you right now, they're not that strong. And so she
wanted to do this Giants Ladder, and I didn't really know.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
What it was. Just to be honest, I had no idea.
So I'm like, yeah, whatever, and she's like, let's do
the squirrel. I know what the squirrel is, the flying squirrel.
My daughter and I do it every time we go,
So I love the flying squirrel. But I didn't know
about the Giants letter.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So telling my daughter about, yeah, we're going and I'm
gonna do the Giant Slater, say mom, mom, Dad, do
you remember what the Giants Ladder looks like?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Now? They had this stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Called the Warrior Challenge and all these cool things. They
have a climbing wall, and you know, I always think of,
you know, the ladder with these latterers that go across overhead. Right,
That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
So when I got to the Giants Ladder last week,
I was quite awestruck.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I was anxious, and I'll be honest, I.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Was a little afraid I'm not gonna acco like I
wasn't because the very first rung on the Giants Ladder
is about three feet off the ground, and the rungs
in between measured anywhere I'm five six, almost five seven, anywhere, okay,
maybe five eight with the hair, but anywhere between four
(28:38):
feet and five feet the rungs in between, and they
go up all the way into the trees.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
They go all the way into the trees, and I
just thought, what whoof? And so it tells you when
you're reading a description for the Giant's Latter that you're
to have a partner or a companion.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
And so we get in the bus and there's three
folks who are going, well, this one person doesn't have
a companion, and the two belayers. And I don't even
know what belaying is really right because.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I'm not a climber. Okay, I understand.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I got the concept a little bit, but I'm not
a climber, so I haven't done it a lot. So
we had the two belayers, and then we had the
three of us, and one of the belairs said, okay, well,
you know, we'll see if we'll get this one fellow
from the actual community who works there to be the
other partner. Now, I would love to call his name,
(29:43):
because I have never seen, listen closely, I have never
seen ever in my entire life a person with this
young man's complete, utter, cascading kindness. He was pretty much
(30:13):
volunteld that he had to be this other person's partner,
and I'm gonna call him Mark. So Mark climbs up
on the first run, and you could tell he was
a climber. He loved this. I mean he ate this
stuff every day, like it was no big deal. I
could climb that, no big deal, like a little flying
monkey kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
He could just like a flying squirrel whatever, he could
climb it.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Now, his job was to run the flying Squirrel, which
was the next class after right, and he was needing
to prepare for all of that. We arrive at this
giant's ladder, let's say at twelve o'clock, and he is
to assist this guy.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Up this ladder. So the guy gets up, He gets
up on the first rung. Mark gets up, hangs on
right the next guy. He kind of gets.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Up on that first rung, holds onto the second rung
and he's just kind of hanging out there for a minute.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Well, Mark amazing clamber pretty much jumps up on the
next rung. So he's on two and three and he's like, okay,
how can I help you.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
He's like, okay, well, let me let me try this.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
And he tries all these things that a guy still
can't get up.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
From that first set of wrongs, and so make Mark
goes down. He goes down and he's like, okay, well
get on my knee. So he holds on one hand.
The guy gets on his knee and he pushes him
over so that he's on that second rung. So he's
literally on the second rung and he's got to get up.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
To the third rung.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
So Mark gets He just kind of lifts himself up,
jumps up on that second run, hold on to the
third and then he says, okay, let me help you up,
and he helps.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
The guy up. He lifts him up onto that.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
So he's standing between the third and the second wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
The entire time, Mark is kind patient, and so.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
He jumps his monkey jump squirrel jump right up onto
the next set of wrongs three and four, and he's there.
He's ready. He's like, how can I help you? How
can I help you? And so he's like, okay, well
just give me around. I think I can do it,
and he pulls my dead word. Okay, well let me.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Jump back down. He jumps back down. He's like, okay,
how can I help you? And then the guy stands
on him and he's like, I can't do it. Still
he's like, okay, let me jump back up. Now.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Every time he comes backing up, he asked the man
how can he help him?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
But it doesn't change.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
It's not like, look, I got another job I can do.
I really don't want to be here helping you. He's like,
how can I help you? He's so kind, so gracious,
never making the person feel like it's an inconvenience to.
Speaker 11 (33:05):
Have your foot on my neck, my head, to be
pulling you up.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Over and over. Not once does Mark convey. Not once
does Mark convey cruelty or abuse or belittling or I'm
(33:39):
not gonna help you anymore whatever, not once.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Every time he's kind. Every time he.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Offers his leg, his arms, his shoulder, his head for
the guy to come upon. And so he literally jumps
back down, gives the guy a knee, pushes him back
up onto the third and then he's kind of just
there on that third rung. So Mark jumps up between
the third and the fourth and helps that other guy
(34:07):
hang on to third and four, and then he does
it again.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
How can I help you?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
He'say, okay, well, maybe if you give me your knee again,
that'll be helpful.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
So he stands on his knee. Doesn't make it. Okay, Well,
then he says, okay, we try my shoulders. Doesn't make it.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
He's like, okay, well, maybe you get up there and
pull me up. So he jumps up to four and
five tries to pull him up.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
He does everything. Now we started at what time, twelve o'clock.
It is now.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Twelve forty five, and Mark has been up and down
that giant ladder, helping.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
This guy and there on three and four.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
And at this point, after helping him, encouraging him, trying
to get him up these rungs.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Final, the person says, I can't make it any further.
I can't make it any further. He's like, that's okay,
that's okay, no big deal. Let me help you back down.
(35:19):
Conveying cascading.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Kindness changes you and it changes everyone around you.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
We are to have that Mark kindness.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
We are to have that Jesus' kindness, the kindness that says, yes,
you can stand so that I can help you.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yes, you can use me to help you. Yes, I
am here to help you get up.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I am here to help you reach forward, I am
here to help you move on. Conveying conveying cascading kindness
so that everyone around you is changed, renewed, literally.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Saved.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I will just tell you that, yes, my niece and
I made it up to the top.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
It was a lot of pulling and moving forward. But
before we get.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Into that, I have to tell you about Balaye Blaine
means that you have this trust, this trust and your ability.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
To manage from afar.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
A Blair holds the rope for the person going up
the mountain side, for the person going up the rock
wall in this instance, for the people going up the
giant's ladder.
Speaker 12 (37:18):
And that Blair, that Blair stands firm and steady.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
What I loved about our belayers is that they had
this belief in us, this belief and encouragement in us.
They believed we could do it, and we did it.
They encouraged us to do it and we did it.
(37:50):
Was this belaying, boundless belief. What I truly want to
convey to you, this fierce, furious, fearless, faithful day, is
(38:10):
that when you have the faith of Jerus, when you
have the faith of the woman who was bleeding for
twelve years, when you have the belief that if you
just touch a light to Jesus's cloak.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
You will be freed from.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Whatever is plaguing you, freed from whatever suffering you have.
You will be saved, saved like Stephen. When you convey
cascading kindness, it changes you and everyone around you.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
When you belay.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Boundless belief in our Lord Jesus Christ, you.
Speaker 17 (39:11):
Will stand up, You will stand firm, You will be enliven.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
You will come back to life today this new day.
Allow yourself to be free, changed, enlivened.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
At the feet of Jesus. Fearless faith frees you so that.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
You can convey cascading kindness. With your boundless belief. You
will enliven yourself and everyone around you.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
May the peace.

Fierce fearless faith prese you. Conveying cascading kindness changes you.
(00:53):
Blaying bound less belief in enlivens you.

Speaker 1 (01:35):

Speaker 3 (01:38):
That when you belay boundless belief, it enlivens.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Turn with me to the gospel reading for the day.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
The gospel reading can be found in Mark chapter five. Now,
the gospel reading listed for today was kind of short,
but we're going to take that deep dive because it's
twenty twenty five into this Divine Word and walk through
it so that it cleanses us, making us a new being,
(02:14):
so that it increases our faith, so that we can
be free, so that we can display the same kindness
that Jesus conveys and the boundless belief that literally creates
(02:39):
new life. Let's drop down to verse twenty one.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Read it with me. It says, when Jesus had again.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake,
a large crowded around him while he was by the lake.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Then one of the synagogue leaders, one of the synagogue leaders,
a leader in their community named.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Jaerus, came and when he saw Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
What does it say that he did? Dante, that's right.
What does it say?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Read it out loud. It says that he fell at
Jesus's feet. He pleaded earnestly with him, my little daughter
is dying. Please come and put your hands on her.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Please come.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
My daughter, that she may be healed and live.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Jbrews had this fierce, fearless faith. This fierce fearless faith
allowed him to see Jesus as he was, see Jesus as.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Who he was, allowing this leader of the synagogue to
literally fall. His faith allowed him to fall and freed
him to fall at the feet of Jesus, so that
(04:51):
he could earnestly request, through.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
His fears fearless faith, that his daughter might live. If
Jesus would only touch.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Place. His hand was the request on her because when he.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Approached Jesus, she was dying. She wasn't dead yet, she
was dying.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And his.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Belief the word for faith, belief is the same word
in Greek.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Its pastis his faith. His belief.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Allowed him to believe and know in his heart that
Jesus could save his dying daughter. And what did Jesus say.
Jesus gives us the divine example of who we are
to be each and every day. Jesus didn't say, hey,
(06:08):
wait a minute, Jesus, it says, went with him that
conveys of cascading kindness, a kindness that enlivens. A large
(06:33):
crowd followed and pressed around Jesus, it says. In verse
twenty five, it says a woman. A woman was there
who had been subject to bleeding for how many years?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Twelve?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
She had been leaning for twelve years. She had suffered
a great deal under the care of many, not just one,
not too many doctors, and had spent all she had.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
When she heard, listen, when.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
She heard, when she heard about Jesus, she came up.
She came up behind him. She came up behind him.
In the crowd and touched, it says, his cloak. The
(07:39):
word touched in Greek is ibisato, ibisatto.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
It says, ibisato. She ipisato him.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Now we have to understand what this word ibisato means.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Ibasato apeto. Ibosato means to touch. Yes, it also means
to light on.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
She lit upon Jesus with a transfer request of energy,
like lighting upon putting a ball into an electric socket.
She wanted to draw some energy from Jesus. She lit
upon Jesus because this word ibisuto means to light upon,
but it means that there's going to be a transfer.
(08:30):
It's an impactful touch, a touch that draws and influences.
It's a touch that attaches oneself. Ibisubto It says she
touched Jesus's cloak because she thought, if I a basulman,
(09:00):
if I touch if I eposome, if I touch.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
His clothes, eye will be healed. This is a woman
with fierce, fearless faith, wanting to.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
Be saved, freed of her twelve years of bleeding, depending
on Jesus cascading through.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
That lit of a touch, cascating kindness upon her through
the transfer. This electrified lit upon transfer touch.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Immediately, it says, how, Deborah, that's right. Immediately, this is
important to say it with me, immediately, Immediately. Immediately, her
bleeding stopped, and she felt in her.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Body that she.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Was freed from her suffering fears, fearless, faith will free you.
At once Jesus realized that power.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Right, she connected that light bulb into she connected it
into Jesus.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
At once, Jesus felt that attachment, that transfer of energy
that she was drawing out. At once, it says, Jesus
realized that power.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Had gone out of him. He turned. He turned, it
says around in the crowd, looking. Jesus is looking for.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Who drew that energy, Who attached themselves lit upon him.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
And pulled that energy out. Jesus is looking around the crowd, and.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
He says, who touched my clothes? His disciples, His disciples
are like, excuse me.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You see all these people.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Crowding against you, And yet you can ask who touched me?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Who lit upon me?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Posuctor, who attached themselves plugged ben and drew some energy
out of me?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You can ask that question.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
But Jesus kept looking, kept looking, kept looking.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Around to see who had done it. Then the woman,
knowing what had happened to her, came and.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Thou thou at his feet, and trembling with fear, told
him the whole truth.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
He said to her daughter, Jesus is saying to you.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You who have that audacious faith.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Jesus is saying to you, you who.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Have that bowerless belief.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Jesus is saying to you, daughter, son, my child, my sibling, daughter.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Your faith.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
And it says, probably in your translation, unless you're reading
King James, your faith has healed you.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Now. The King James sometimes says, has saved you. And
the word he says this phrase in the Greek the word.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Is piece these sue say sosikin which means.
Speaker 10 (13:36):
Save, saved you, saved you from twelve years of bleeding,
saved you from the drug habit, from the alcohol addiction.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Jesus is here to save you. Pornography.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
What is it that is taking you out of the eyesight,
out of the line of Jesus.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
Jesus says, your faith can save you. Your faith, that fierce,
fearless faith that falls at the feet of Jesus requesting.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
To be saved, to be freed. And you may not
even have the words like this woman. But you can
light on attach yourself to the clock of Jesus by
diving into the divine word of God each and every day.
(14:40):
You may be thinking, well, very I don't have time
to read. Hey, if you are listening to music, you
can listen to the word. Take a moment, listen to
the word. Dive into that divine word. Daughter, Your faith
has healed you.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Go in peace and be What does it.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Say there, Tommy, be free, be free, be free, be
freed from your suffering.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, Jesus was still speaking.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Some people came from the house of jars the synagogue leader,
and said, you know your daughter is dead. They said,
why bother the leader anymore? Jesus overheard them. Jesus overheard
these people speaking to Jerrus. How many times have people
(15:44):
tried to tell you when you've latched on, attached to
lit on the cloak of Jesus the divine word. Hey, man,
that word is going to help you out. You might
as well just go on home. The minute you start
to have fierce face, the minute you start to convey kindness,
(16:05):
the minute you start to have boundless belief, know that
the naysayers are gonna surround you and tell you to
don't even attach yourself to Jesus. Jesus overheard them, and
(16:29):
I can imagine Jerus and his feelings. He was probably thinking, Wow,
I came here to see Jesus.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I finally get to him. He decides to come with me.
Speaker 12 (16:44):
And yet.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I thought, my daughter dies, my daughter dies, and I'm
not even there.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
And Jesus says this, mefobu, monone, pisteve, mefobu, have no fear.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Do not fear me, fobu, do not fear.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Jesus says, don't be afraid, manone pisteve, Just.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Pisteve believe. Don't be afraid, just believe. Don't listen to
the naysayers. Just believe.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Don't allow yourself to take your attachment someplace else.
Speaker 13 (17:39):
Just believe, PISTEVI have faith, be kind and believe.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
He did not let anyone follow him except Peter James and.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
John, the brother of James.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
When they came to the home of the synagogue leader,
Jesus saw the commotion.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
People were crying and wailing loudly. He went in and
said to them, why all this commotion and wailing. The
child is not dead but asleep. The child is not dead.
But asleep. And this is why he chose.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
To not let anyone else follow him, but the believers,
Peter James, John Jerous, the family, close family, because they
laughed at him when he said, she's just sleeping. After
(18:53):
he put them all out, he took the child's father
and mother and the disciples.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
These are the believers, those.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Who have faith, who were with him, and went in
where the child was.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Jesus reached out what was that word? What was that
word that we were talking about? Do you remember? It's
about touch iposato abotto.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Jesus reached out his hand and he began to transfer
that energy by attaching himself to her. Could you imagine
being attached to Jesus in this way?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It only takes faith.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Jesus reached out, it says, and he took her by
the hand and said to her, talitha coom, which means
in Aramaic talitha means little girl.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Goom in the Arabic means stand up.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Now. I don't know what your version says. It might say,
get up, stand up, talatha coom, stand up little girl.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Immediately.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Now this go back. This is just like the woman
who had been bleeding for twelve years. She lit upon Jesus,
she touched, She attached herself to Jesus through faith, and
immediately the blood stopped.
Speaker 14 (20:45):
Immediately, it says, immediately after saying to Litha com immediately
after touching the girl eposoma, Immediately.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
The girl stood up.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Immediately, the girl stood up and began to walk around. Immediately,
the girl stood and began to walk around. It says,
(21:30):
at this they were completely astonished.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
He gave strict orders.
Speaker 15 (21:37):
Jesus gave strict orders not to tell anyone about this,
and he said, go and get her something to eat.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Fears, fearless, faithrease you. Conveying cascading kindness, like the kindness
of Jesus saying yes, I will come with you, Yes
you can touch me. Your faith has healed you.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Touching the girl, the kindness of Jesus, conveying cascading kindness,
It changes you, and it changes.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
The others around you.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Belaying, belaying, boundless belief enlivens, enlivens, creating an environment.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Where we can all live and stand up.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
This past week, I was fortunate enough to go to
a place that I absolutely love to go.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
My daughter and I go often, and when.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
My colleagues say, well, where are you going? I'm always
I always say adult camp. I used to send my
daughter to spring Hill Camp, if you're familiar with spring
Hill camps. And they had all these wonderful things to do,
and I think, oh, I'd love to do some of that.
That looks so much fun. And I remember sending her
also to Royal Ridges.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Oh, I'd love to do some of this. I'd have
so much fun. Well, this is like adult camp. And
I went.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
To have some time away, some time to recharge and
plug in. And I'll never forget being in the cafeteria area.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And a fellow was bringing out watermelon.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
And when I work out hard, I love watermelon because
it replenishes my lost, lost sweating water that comes profusely
out of me.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So I'd eat a ton of watermelon.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
And I noticed when i'd walked by earlier, the watermelon
plate had just a few pieces, and.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I'm like, yeah, I want to a bunch of picked
over pieces. So I saw him, I followed him. I
followed him to where he was going to put the
watermelon down.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
And I like to have conversations with the folks who
are there because.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
There's just so many amazing narratives of the folks.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
And I asked the person as I was getting the
watermelon and putting it onto my plate, I said, hey,
I said, so, tell me what's your name? And it
usually says.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Their name and their word on there, and.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
So he said, well, my name is so and so.
And I'm like, oh, nice to meet you. And I'm
just gonna call him Stephen. Nice to meet you, Stephen,
and he said great. And I said, well, what is
your name? What does your word mean?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Stephen? And he's like, well, it's a long story, and
I'm like, I've got time.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
And Stephen went on to tell me that his word
was faith, faith, faith like the fierce, fearless faith of
j Rus who fell at the feet of Jesus. Faith
like the faith, fearless faith of the woman who had
been bleeding, who attaches herself right lights upon Jesus.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
His word is faith. Stephen goes on to tell me.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
About his addictions, and he's like, but I will tell you.
When he found out my name was Pastor Vie, well
I'll tell you, Pastor Vera, I wouldn't change a thing.
Yes I've done bad things, and yes I've done bad
things to my body, but I wouldn't change a thing
because it brought me here to have this fierce, fearless faith,
(25:56):
and now I am free.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
He didn't say it like that, but I am saying
like that for him.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
He is free, just like the woman who was immediately
free of her bleeding.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
He is free.
Speaker 16 (26:11):
Steved is free from his drug addiction. He is free
from his alcohol addiction. He is free from his past.
Through his faith, he has.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Been saved, freed, freed from all that had set him back.
Fierce fearless faith will free you. I went with my
(26:57):
niece to this old camp that I like to go to,
and when we have been preparing our activities, there was
this one activity that's called Giants Ladder.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
She said, I'd like to sign up for that.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Now you gotta understand, my niece is a fierce climber.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
She loves to rock climb and.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
She puts her hands in those little hold and I
can't hate rock climbing. I'm not trying my fingers. I
know they're not that strong. I'm just gonna be telling
you right now, they're not that strong. And so she
wanted to do this Giants Ladder, and I didn't really know.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
What it was. Just to be honest, I had no idea.
So I'm like, yeah, whatever, and she's like, let's do
the squirrel. I know what the squirrel is, the flying squirrel.
My daughter and I do it every time we go,
So I love the flying squirrel. But I didn't know
about the Giants letter.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So telling my daughter about, yeah, we're going and I'm
gonna do the Giant Slater, say mom, mom, Dad, do
you remember what the Giants Ladder looks like?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Now? They had this stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Called the Warrior Challenge and all these cool things. They
have a climbing wall, and you know, I always think of,
you know, the ladder with these latterers that go across overhead. Right,
That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
So when I got to the Giants Ladder last week,
I was quite awestruck.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I was anxious, and I'll be honest, I.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Was a little afraid I'm not gonna acco like I
wasn't because the very first rung on the Giants Ladder
is about three feet off the ground, and the rungs
in between measured anywhere I'm five six, almost five seven, anywhere, okay,
maybe five eight with the hair, but anywhere between four
(28:38):
feet and five feet the rungs in between, and they
go up all the way into the trees.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
They go all the way into the trees, and I
just thought, what whoof? And so it tells you when
you're reading a description for the Giant's Latter that you're
to have a partner or a companion.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
And so we get in the bus and there's three
folks who are going, well, this one person doesn't have
a companion, and the two belayers. And I don't even
know what belaying is really right because.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I'm not a climber. Okay, I understand.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I got the concept a little bit, but I'm not
a climber, so I haven't done it a lot. So
we had the two belayers, and then we had the
three of us, and one of the belairs said, okay, well,
you know, we'll see if we'll get this one fellow
from the actual community who works there to be the
other partner. Now, I would love to call his name,
(29:43):
because I have never seen, listen closely, I have never
seen ever in my entire life a person with this
young man's complete, utter, cascading kindness. He was pretty much
(30:13):
volunteld that he had to be this other person's partner,
and I'm gonna call him Mark. So Mark climbs up
on the first run, and you could tell he was
a climber. He loved this. I mean he ate this
stuff every day, like it was no big deal. I
could climb that, no big deal, like a little flying
monkey kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
He could just like a flying squirrel whatever, he could
climb it.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Now, his job was to run the flying Squirrel, which
was the next class after right, and he was needing
to prepare for all of that. We arrive at this
giant's ladder, let's say at twelve o'clock, and he is
to assist this guy.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Up this ladder. So the guy gets up, He gets
up on the first rung. Mark gets up, hangs on
right the next guy. He kind of gets.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Up on that first rung, holds onto the second rung
and he's just kind of hanging out there for a minute.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Well, Mark amazing clamber pretty much jumps up on the
next rung. So he's on two and three and he's like, okay,
how can I help you.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
He's like, okay, well, let me let me try this.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
And he tries all these things that a guy still
can't get up.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
