Main Idea

The central theme of Hailey Stroderd's sermon was about the significance of overcoming fears and societal judgments to seek spiritual healing and wholeness. She highlighted that like the woman in the story, we often hide our true selves due to fear of rejection or judgment. However, healing begins when we choose to reveal our struggles and reach out to Jesus, who is always within reach. This act of faith allows us to not only receive healing but also reclaim our true identity as beloved children of God.

Scripture References

Mark 5:21-34, Leviticus 15:19-33

How can we identify the areas in our lives where we are hiding and what steps can we take to reveal them for healing?

Hiding is the kryptonite to healing; if you don't reveal it, He cannot heal it. Break your silence and reach out.

Discuss the risks associated with seeking healing. Have you ever had to take such a risk, and what was the outcome?

Discussion Questions:

How does the story of the woman in the crowd challenge our perceptions of worthiness and acceptance?

In what ways can we support each other in our community to foster healing and spiritual growth?

What does it mean to be called 'daughter' or 'son' by Jesus, and how does this change our identity and self-perception?

Every miracle is a parable telling us a story—yours, mine, and hers. Miracles require risk and relationship!

Summary

Hailey Stroderd delivered such a timely message at Arise Conference, emphasizing the transformative power of stepping out in faith. She recounted the story of a woman who, despite being shunned by her society due to an illness, bravely sought healing from Jesus. This woman, tired of living in the shadows of her condition, risked everything to touch Jesus in a crowded place, illustrating that miracles often require us to take bold risks and engage in a relationship with God. Her act of faith not only healed her but also restored her dignity and identity, as Jesus publicly acknowledged her as His daughter.

Call to Action
