Encounters | Touching Jesus: Mark 5:25-34 | Pastor Ken Polk
Description
In this heartfelt sermon, Pastor Ken Polk, father of Pastor Jason Polk, shares a moving message at Echo Church centered on the healing of the woman with the issue of blood from Mark 5.
Ken reflects on the themes of faith, persistence, and the courage to reach out to Jesus even in the midst of a crowd. Drawing on personal anecdotes, biblical teaching, and reflections on the nature of crowds and faith, he emphasizes how Jesus responds not just to casual contact but to sincere, faith-filled hearts.
Ken encourages listeners to consider their own condition—whether physical, spiritual, or emotional—and challenges them to press through life's obstacles to make a personal connection with Christ. He reminds us that Jesus sees and responds to those who reach out in faith, offering healing, peace, and transformation. The message culminates in a call to honest confession, public faith, and the assurance that only Jesus can truly satisfy the deepest needs of our souls.
No matter how overlooked or hopeless we feel, Jesus notices a heart of real faith. Step out of the crowd, reach for Him, and He will respond.
