This Sunday, Pastor Melton delivered a powerful message centered on the story of Jairus and his daughter from Mark 5. He reminded us that our faith journey often includes moments of despair and hopelessness, but even when situations seem impossible, God can still perform miracles. Pastor Melton encouraged us to move beyond pride, pain, and problems to reach out to Jesus, just as Jairus did, emphasizing that our status or public image doesn’t matter to God—what matters is our genuine, private faith.

We were challenged to keep believing, even when circumstances look bleak, and to surround ourselves with people who support our faith. Pastor Melton also highlighted that Jesus often works during the “pauses” in our lives, sometimes making us wait as He works in others before He works in us. Ultimately, he called us to “get up” from anything that’s tried to bury us and to live out our faith authentically, without feeling the need to prove ourselves to others.
