This powerful message challenges us to examine the difference between seeking God as our 'help' versus treating Him as our 'helper.' Drawing from Psalm 118, we discover a profound paradox: while God is indeed our ultimate help—the all-powerful One who does what we cannot—He deliberately positions Himself as our helper, taking on the role of a servant. The sermon walks us through the last Hallelujah Psalm, where the psalmist declares 'The Lord is on my side as my helper,' and connects this to Jesus washing His disciples' feet—the ultimate act of humility. We're confronted with the uncomfortable truth that we often resist asking for help until we're completely desperate, yet God invites us to come to Him freely. The most transformative insight emerges when we realize that Jesus, by becoming our helper in the lowliest ways, actually becomes our greatest help. He doesn't just rescue us from impossible situations; He shows us how to live, how to love, and how to serve. This message calls us to embrace the uncomfortable position of being helpers ourselves—not because we have special expertise, but because we're willing to show up, hold the board, wash the feet, and be present with others. In doing so, we mirror the heart of God and discover that the most profound ministry often happens in the simplest acts of service.
