Tow Ropes and Jumper Cables

May 5, 2024

Hey there! Ever felt stuck in life, like your battery's dead and you can't get going no matter how hard you try? In this message, Pastor Matt Sturdevant from Hope Church has some POWERFUL insights on how Jesus meets us right where we're at to help us get unstuck and move in the right direction!


Pastor Matt unpacks a fascinating story from the Bible where Jesus strikes up a conversation with a woman at a well and totally transforms her life. It's a vivid example of how Jesus sees us, cares about us, and wants to give us "living water" that will satisfy us deep down in our souls.


One of the key takeaways is that when we experience how Jesus rescues us and gives us new life, we can't help but want to share that with others! Telling people about the difference Jesus makes doesn't just help them get traction in their spiritual journey - it actually strengthens our OWN faith and "gains traction" in our own lives, too.


So here's the challenge: Who is someone in YOUR life who could use some hope and direction right now? Take a few minutes to pray and ask God to show you who He wants you to reach out to. It could be a family member, a friend, a neighbor, or a co-worker. Sharing your story of how Jesus has changed you might just be the "tow rope" they need to get unstuck!


This message is for anyone who's curious about God but knows little about the Bible or church. If you've ever wondered how a relationship with Jesus could make a real difference in your everyday life, this is a fantastic place to start. Feeling stuck is no fun, but with Jesus, we've all got TRACTION to move forward!

Let's hit the gas and see where God takes us!
