Mission Minded Church – Esther Wiggins on the restoration of the woman with the issue of blood
Esther explores the story of the woman with the issue of blood to help us understand that Jesus did not merely heal her through her act of touching the hem of his garment, but he also restored her very publically after years of social and spiritual isolation. Esther then helps us discern how this will help us understand our mission in the world today.
