Servants & Stewards - Mark 5

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Mark.Two people come to Jesus in Mark 5. A synagogue ruler whose daughter is dying. And a woman who's been sick for twelve years, who's tried everything, spent everything, and is getting worse.They couldn't be more different. One is powerful and named. The other is anonymous and desperate. But they both end up at the same place: on their knees, out of options, reaching toward Jesus.What's striking is that he doesn't respond to them the same way. One gets immediate healing. But the other has to wait through the worst moment of his life first.If you've ever prayed hard for something and felt like heaven was quiet, this one is worth your time.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 14, 2026, at 10:30am.
