When Desperation Meets Compassion | When People Meet Jesus | Wk 5
Jul 6, 2025 • Dakota Adair
In Luke 8, we encounter two people from opposite worlds: a synagogue ruler and a shamed, suffering woman. One had twelve years of joy, the other twelve years of pain. But both were desperate, and both ran to Jesus. In this message, we explore how desperation draws us to Jesus, how faith stops Him in His tracks, and how fear can’t cancel what faith has started.
Whether you're overwhelmed by a diagnosis, buried under shame, or holding onto hope by a thread, Jesus meets you with compassion, power, and a new identity. This isn’t just a story about two miracles, it’s a story about what happens when Jesus meets the faith of the desperate.
