The author of the gospel of Mark likes to use a very specific literary device where he squeezes one little story inside a bigger story. It's often called a "Markan Sandwich." The two stories then play off of each other and inform each other in rich ways.

Mark is telling us something about Jesus in Mark 5:21-43, the stories of the healing of Jairus' daughter and the healing of the woman with the issue of blood. They tell about the One who meets us and our world in the midst of our fears, in our vulnerabilities, when we've come to the end of our rope.

The miracles of Jesus are never just about the miracles themselves, but about the One who is making all things new.

Join us as we take a look at Jesus as the God who remakes us and remakes our world.
