Communion
Salvation is by faith alone.

Psalm 21

Sermon
Luke 8:40 - 56
What can we really trust
Jairus was desperate. Jesus was the only one who could help his dying daughter.
Jesus is the true source of comfort and help.

Pray every day.

1. Jairus' faith was in Jesus alone.

vs 42 - 48
The two stories are connected. Jairus' daughter was 12 years old. The woman had suffered for 12 years. Both were desparate. Jesus called the woman 'daughter'. All Jairus need to do was trust Jesus. The woman had faith that just touching Jesus' garment would be enough for healing to take place, and it was so. Jesus encouraged both of them in their faith.
He is the One who sustains our faith. He provides encouragement for our faith.

What can we learn from Jairus' faith?

2. His faith needed encouragement.

vs 51 - 56
Jairus found out that trusting Jesus as worthwhile.

Jesus doesn't lie. He will fulfill his word.

What are we trusting Jesus for?

3. His faith was worthwhile.

Jesus is worthy of all our trust!
