Twelve years of bleeding and a dying twelve-year-old girl. In this episode of The Magnificent 37, we explore a "miracle within a miracle." As Jesus goes to save the daughter of Jairus, He is interrupted by a woman who touches His garment in faith. This "divine interruption" teaches us that God’s delays are not God’s denials. Jesus demonstrates His power over chronic illness and death itself, taking the dead girl by the hand and speaking the tender words, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!” The Rev. Steve Andrews, Jr., pastor of St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Lee's Summit, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Mark 5:25–43. To learn more about St. Matthew Lutheran, visit GraceFaithLove.org.Thy Strong Word kicks off the new year by dedicating our time to study "The Magnificent 37: The Miracles of Jesus." Christ didn't just speak the Word; He demonstrated it with power. From the quiet intimacy of water turning to wine at Cana to the earth-shaking reality of the empty tomb, the Gospels record thirty-seven distinct moments where Jesus suspended the laws of nature to reveal the power of his grace. This isn't just a list of "neat tricks" from history. It is a systematic walkthrough of how God breaks into our broken world to fix it. Why did Jesus curse a fig tree? Why did He need mud to heal a blind man? What does the coin in the fish's mouth teach us about being citizens of heaven and earth? Host, Pastor Phil Booe and a lineup of guest pastors will take you through each event, verse by verse. We’ll move past the Sunday School summary and get into the meat of the text, including the Old Testament connections, the cultural context, and the immediate comfort these signs bring to your life today. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
