HOPE in the Hem - HOPE when Hurting

Oct 19, 2025    Pastor Ron Simmons

In this powerful message, we explore the profound concept of biblical hope - not mere wishful thinking, but a confident expectation rooted in God's promises. The story of the woman who touched Jesus' garment (Mark 5:25-34) beautifully illustrates this transformative hope. By understanding the cultural context of Jesus' 'hem' or tassels, we see how her faith was anchored in prophecy and promise. This challenges us to dive deeper into God's Word, finding our own 'anchors' in times of trial. Just as this woman's faith led to her healing, we too can experience breakthrough by clinging to God's promises with unwavering hope. This message encourages us to seek out and hold fast to specific scriptures that speak to our situations, reminding us that our hope in Christ is a powerful force for change in our lives.
