The Promise of the Garment ​

This seven-week Bible study invites people to journey through the courageous story of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:25–34, revealing that her healing began long before she touched Jesus’ garment. Together, we explore how faith, honesty, persistence, and active participation help position participants to encounter the promises of God. The study embraces individuals at every stage: those who have experienced healing, those who are still waiting, and those learning to trust God’s timing and ways.
