"Jesus the Servant": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 23, Session 3: Jesus Teaches About Prayer
When we read the way Jesus teaches about prayer in this passage, we might be tempted to picture God a bit like a magical genie. All we have to do is ask, and we’ll be given whatever we want, right? Whatever door we knock on, God will open it, and whatever we seek, it will be given to us....

Jesus approached the disabled man and asked a curious question: Do you want to get well? The answer seems obvious—of course, he wanted to get well!

"Jesus the Servant": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 22, Session 2: Jesus Heals a Woman and Raises a Girl
Life isn’t easy. Things happen. Look at Jairus and the woman who suffered from bleeding. Mark 5:22 says Jairus was a synagogue leader. He was a community leader. Everyone knew him. He was well off. Then his daughter got sick. And as time went on, she grew worse and worse until she was at the point of death. As...
