Title: How Jesus Responds to Someone Suffering

Text: Mark 5:24-33

Date: October 4, 2006

Location: Message at Taylor University Chapel, Upland, Indiana

Note: On April 26, 2006, the Taylor Community was shaken when five members (four students and one staff) were killed in horrible car accident as they returned to campus from an event held at a sister campus.  This was tragic enough, but over the summer, it became evident that one of the bodies had been mis-identified at the scene, causing much pain for family members, and many questions for the community.  This was one of the first Chapel messages of the year upon students returning to campus and processing these events. Amy addresses students’ pain with her own, as her mother died in April and was buried on April 26, 2006.
