| 0:00.0 | Well, Jairus had one child, an only daughter, who was about 12 years of age, and she was dying. |
| 0:09.3 | And his only hope at that point was Jesus. |
| 0:19.2 | We always need Jesus, but sometimes the Lord uses suffering and trials in our life to remind us of our dependence upon him for all things. Have you experienced that in a season of suffering? Welcome to the Sunday edition of Renewing Your Mind. I'm your host, Nathan W. Bingham. |
| 0:39.3 | As we read the accounts of Jesus' earthly ministry |
| 0:43.3 | and the miracles and healings he performed, |
| 0:46.3 | we learn things about him and his character, |
| 0:48.3 | and we're reminded of our need, |

| 0:56.1 | The two moments that we'll hear about today are the final accounts that we'll look at in Luke's |
| 1:00.8 | gospel, which means today is the final time that you can request R.C. Sproul's commentary |

| 1:43.4 | Sea of Galilee, and they implored, |
| 1:47.6 | they begged Jesus to leave. And so in this last narrative, we had people saying to Jesus, |
| 1:56.6 | please go. And in the very next passage, we hear the begging of the ruler of the synagogue |
| 2:05.5 | saying to Jesus, please come. But of course, it was on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. |
| 2:15.0 | When the people, after Legion was healed, begged Jesus to leave, |
| 2:20.7 | he departed from them and crossed again to the shore by Copernium. And it's on that side that we |
