What do you do when life hurts? There are even times when it hurts in more than one place at once. When the pain is physical, emotional, relational, financial — and you've tried everything, and nothing seems to work?

Today's message — "Encountering Jesus When Life Hurts" — takes us to one of the most tender and powerful moments in the Gospels: a nameless woman who had been bleeding for twelve years, spent everything she had, and was growing worse. And then she encountered Jesus.

In this message, we explore three questions everyone in pain must face:

• Where does it HURT? — Pain cannot be healed if it is not named. Healing begins where honesty starts — and what you bring to Jesus, He begins to restore.

• What will you DO? — This woman didn't just suffer — she moved. Faith is not passive. It's the step you take toward Jesus even when you're weak.

• Who will you TRUST? — Before anything changed in her body, she had already decided. Trust is choosing whose voice speaks louder — your pain or Jesus.
