Yesterday's sermon was preached by Pastor Chris Engelsma at Covenant URC. The text was from Luke 8. This chapter recounts the story of Jairus, a city elder who had a daughter with a terminal sickness. Jairus came to get Jesus hoping Jesus could heal his daughter, Jesus said he would, but on the way to the house, Jairus's daughter died. Jesus said it didn't matter, and after entering the house raised Jairus's daughter back to life. Jesus did it this way to test and strengthen Jairus's faith, to show that it didn't matter what happened, Jesus could and would overcome it.
