Our God is the God of Life and not death
Jesus responds to Jarius plea to come and save his daughter. On the way, a woman touches his clothing and is healed of twelve years of bleeding. Jesus acknowledges that her act of faith has healed her. But this act of delay has lead to the death of Jarius' daughter. Jesus tells him "to fear not but believe." Jesus goes to Jarius' home and raises his daughter from the dead. Two are restored to life and able as women to give life.

The Authentic Christ (Matthew 4:23-25)
It is interesting when we go to the store to see the labels that say: “100% natural” “No artificial ingredients” “Made with real meat” We have, as a culture, become so artificial that we need assurance of authenticity. So it is in the spiritual realm. Satan is a mastermind of illusion and imitation of reality. We need to know that the One in whom we are commanded to believe is the real deal, that He is authentic. And such is the point of Matthew. Jesus authenticates His Messiahship through the ministry of teaching, preaching, and healing.

In the Name of Jesus… Walk
This Sunday we continue our journey through Acts with a beautiful account of Christ's healing power unleashed through faith. Our Scripture reading reveals God's special affection for a very special people. This picture of the wonder of God's grace and how it comes to us and through us is a mystery that is both baffling and, at the same time, one that produces a reassuring hope and a powerful sense of purpose. Today we are also going to participate in the Lord's Supper...another mystery that can baffle us as we try to understand it but, at the same time, can produce great reassurance, hope and a strong sense of our purpose. Though it may not seem obvious at first, there is a connection between the healing of this man crippled from birth and our Communion. Both of these point to what the Lord has done for us and what the Lord desires to do through us. We have been called to a healing experience as well as to a healing role and today we pray that the Spirit fills and prepares us as we read, reflect and share in the Lord's Table together.

Reason for Hope
We all carry a vision of our ideal self. When this is violated or interrupted, the result is lost hope. The key to our healing is discovering and embracing another image. One given by God. Key Verses: Prov 28:19, Matt 26:31-35, Rom 8:28-31, 1John 3:1-2, 1Pet 1:6-9, Jas 1:2-4, Jer 29:11
