We live in a culture of life hacks. We can make anything more effortless and more efficient. There are life hacks for finding flights online, cooking eggs, and dating relationships. And when it comes to your dating relationship, please do not use any hacks. We can make things so easy and comfortable. Do we need the Lord?
There will be a moment in our lives, and maybe you have already experienced it, where you are helpless. That is why the gospel is so beautiful for this Sunday. This woman comes to Jesus, crying, “Lord, help me.” She has no life hacks. She cannot fix the problem. She, in all humility, asks Jesus for help. And when it comes to our lives, you may be experiencing helplessness right now. The beauty of being a Christian is that we can unite our helplessness to Jesus’s helplessness on the cross so that he can help us.

If you didn’t know, February is one month after January. That’s not much time. The realization is that we want to follow through on things; we don’t want to give up. But the problem is that we are not convicted enough to be able to…

No Side Hustles in Our Faith
Ride-sharing. Food delivery. Pet sitting. Side hustles are everywhere and there’s nothing wrong with that. But when it comes to faith, eternal life, and the meaning of life itself, there are no side hustles. In one of His most famous teachings, Jesus says He has not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. He is the fulfillment. He is the way to heaven. He is the meaning of life. Chase your goals and work hard but when it comes to what truly matters, there’s only one answer. It’s always been Jesus.

Jesus Stays The Same
So, the latest Terminator movie was set for the future in 2024. It was predicted that by 2024, artificial intelligence would take over the world. Well, we are now past 2024.
