The first point he makes, is that we can’t let other people’s issues be an obstacle to our own connection to God. And to continue his lesson, we’re looking at a story in the book of Mark chapter 5, now in verse 35 … where Jesus has been called to the house of a man named Jairus, whose young daughter was dying. But on His way to the house of Jairus, Jesus is interrupted by a woman seeking her own miracle. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
