Put Back Together

When life feels like it's falling apart, where do you turn? This Mother's Day message reminds us that Jesus came not with a sword, but with the hands of a healer.

In Luke 8, we see two powerful stories intertwined: a woman who suffered for 12 years and a 12-year-old girl who had died. Both needed restoration beyond human ability. Jesus didn't just heal their bodies—He was reconstituting all of Israel, making whole what had been broken. Twelve tribes. Twelve years. Twelve apostles. Twelve baskets of leftovers. God's vision is never constricted by our circumstances.
