You Don't Say - God Helps Those Who Help Themselves (Week 3)
You Don't Say - Things Jesus Didn't Say
Some sayings sound spiritual but aren't scriptural. We repeat them for comfort, clarity, or conviction—phrases like “Everything happens for a reason” or “God helps those who help themselves.” But what if these phrases misrepresent the heart of Jesus?
This series exposes five popular Christian clichés that Jesus never said. Instead of relying on half-truths, we’ll look at what Scripture really says, and what Jesus did say, so we can build a faith that’s true, deep, and rooted in grace. Each week, we’ll replace confusion with clarity and easy answers with real hope.
God Helps Those Who Help Themselves
This phrase sounds like personal responsibility, but it’s not from Jesus—it’s from Ben Franklin. Jesus actually helps the helpless, lifts the lowly, and calls us to serve the least. This message challenges self-reliance and calls us back to grace and compassion.
