In this series, we have been hacking our way through a number of familiar passages and stories in the life of Jesus. In each story, we are finding some truths that often we miss. While they are simple, they are wildly important and if we will put them into practice in our lives, our lives can be radically changed. So get ready once again for another in the Lifehack series – this week it is a quest.
In Lifehacks, we are discovering ways to really start living the life we were created to live. Many people get caught up waiting for God to do something. Some believe He moves too slow and rarely answers their prayers, others have a hard time finding and connecting to Him. Perhaps it is time to take an honest evaluation of where we are living. The time zone we choose to live in makes all the difference in the world – really it does!
Looking for practical ways to make your life better? Then the truth of this series called Lifehacks is just what you are looking for. Although the title of this session sounds like a Dr. Seuss book, it really takes you through one of the most puzzling and pivotal passages of Scripture in all of the Bible. Once you understand it, then you have the hack you need to move forward.
A lifehack is a strategy or technique that is used to make life better. We use them all the time, we may not call them lifehacks, but they are real. Often these lifehacks are counter-intuitive… in other words, on the surface they seem silly or even a bit impractical or outlandish – but they work. Sometimes as we read the Bible, we think, that sounds good but I just can’t do that – but when we try it, it works. In this Lifehack series, we take some bold strides to follow the example that Jesus gives us and along the way, make our lives better. This morning we begin with one of the most unusual passages in all of the Bible, it is found in Mark 8 – let’s get ready to hack.
