Jesus calls Jairus to an extreme faith with an extreme promise

Jesus communicated 3 things to Jairus: - Ignore what they say - Do not fear - Only believe

4 things we can learn from Jairus - We must put ourselves in the presence of Jesus - We must humble ourselves sincerely before Jesus - We must present our need in a holy reverence - We must have total confidence in the power and the goodness of Jesus

4 things we can learn from the afflicted woman - We must tell Him the whole truth about our sin - We must tell Him the whole truth about our suffering - We must tell Him the whole truth about the other doctors and cures we've tried - We must tell Him the whole truth about all our hopes

Challenges and failures will come to all Epic Dads

3 things that can change - Your life - Your family's life - Your impact on others

The words you speak - Life and death are in the power of the tongue

Be a "Father of Faith" - A "father of faith" seeks continual encounters with Jesus
