7/5/26 - "Faith that Presses It's Way Through"

Main message: From Mark 5:25–34 the preacher taught that faith presses its way through hopelessness — like the unnamed woman with a 12‑year hemorrhage, whose hear‑word about Jesus, internal conviction, and bold action led to immediate healing — and listeners are urged to press through their own trials by cultivating those same habits.

Key points:

• The woman’s situation: 12 years of bleeding, went from doctor to doctor, spent all her money, became worse and socially ostracized (unclean under Levitical law).
• She heard about Jesus — listening to the right people/words (faith comes by hearing) moved her toward faith.
• She maintained positive, faith‑filled internal conversations ("if I just touch his garment...") instead of despair.
• She acted in faith and pressed through the crowd to touch Jesus’ garment; faith required movement, not just feeling.
• Practical application: be careful what/whom you listen to in seasons of hopelessness, share testimonies to point others to Jesus, cultivate endurance and do what God has told you to do.

Scriptures mentioned: Proverbs 3:1–6, Mark 5:25–34, Leviticus 15
