This weekend is ‘Pentecost’ in the Christian calendar. We celebrate the day when the power of the Holy Spirit fell upon the fearful disciples, empowering them, transforming them, enabling them to be God’s people in God’s world. Surely we all need the same power, and thankfully, the same power is available!
Facing rejection, relational tension, is all too familiar to Jesus (especially in his hometown, and even his own family). But he shows us how to navigate those challenges well and sends us out (while all the while never leaving us)!

In two different desperate situations, Jesus intimately meets people's needs. In episodes like these we can see the radical heart that Jesus demonstrates! Be encouraged in the ways in which he meets your needs and those around you, and also consider ways in which we can similarly extend his heart and works.
In this message about the Jairus name meaning, the account of his daughter and the bleeding woman from Mark 5.21-43 , Mackenzie Matthews invites us to consider our desperation, God’s pace and God's love. Where have you experienced desperate places? How do you handle a frustrated timeline? How might you more deeply experience the outrageous love of God?
