To refocus means to shift our attention, trust, hope, and dependence away from yourself, people, and systemsโback to Christ alone.
Here's the summary of the Sunday Preaching last January 11, 2026.
Ptr. Santos focuses on the Story of โThe Bleeding Womanโ: Luke 8:40-48 (NIV)
A. ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ ๐ฝ๐ง๐ค๐ ๐๐ฃ?

For twelve years, this woman lived in a state of continuous physical exhaustion and pain. Her condition wasn't a passing ailment but a chronic, debilitating hemorrhage that left her body weak, anemic, and brittle. Every single day was a battle against fatigue and the physical toll of a body that was slowly wasting away, making the simplest tasks of daily life an agonizing struggle for survival.
๐ฎ.) ๐๐บ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป
Beyond the physical pain, her heart was heavy with the weight of a decade of disappointment. She lived in a cycle of hope followed by crushing defeat; every time a new treatment was promised or a new physician consulted, her expectations would rise, only to be shattered when her condition worsened. This constant emotional whiplash created a deep sense of despair, as she watched years of her life vanish into a void of failed promises and unmet expectations.
๐ฏ.) ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป
Under Jewish law, her condition rendered her "ceremonially unclean," forcing her into a life of total isolation. Forbidden from public worship and physical contact, she lived as a social pariahโdenied community, human touch, and religious life in a state of lonely, forced exile.
๐ฐ.) ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป
Adding to her misery was the total collapse of her livelihood. The Bible notes that she had "spent all she had" on various doctors and remedies, yet was no better. She had exhausted every resource, sold every possession, and drained every saving in a desperate search for a cure. By the time she encountered Jesus, she was not only sick and lonely but also destitute, having reached the absolute end of her own human resources with nothing left to rely on but a miracle.
โThe woman had no strength, no support, and no solution left only when Jesus came.โ
B. What Her Refocus Teaches Us Today?

Brokenness does one of two things:
โข It either drives us away from God in bitterness
โข Or it draws us to God in humility and faith
This woman shows us:
