Are you feeling stuck in life and looking for lasting hope and purpose? In this message from Hope Church, Pastor Matt explains how following Jesus is the key to moving forward and experiencing transformation.
Many people think that being a Christian is just a one-time decision. But as Pastor Matt shares, it's actually a lifelong journey of obedience and taking next steps with Jesus. Lordship means recognizing Jesus' authority over every area of our lives. It's not always easy, but it's the path to true life change.
Discipleship is the process of growth as a follower of Jesus. It means becoming more like him in our character, knowledge, and actions. God works to transform us from the inside out as we walk with him.
So how does this change actually happen? Pastor Matt highlights several tools God uses to help us grow:
1. The Bible - God's word is the ultimate source of truth that guides and shapes us
2. Prayer - Talking to God honestly and listening to him
3. Community - We can't grow spiritually in isolation; we need other believers
4. Suffering - Trials humble us and make us more dependent on God
While these tools are essential, our response is what matters most. Pastor Matt challenges us to obey what God has already shown us. Large or small, look for the next step God is calling you to take - and then take it! Over time, these daily steps of obedience add up to incredible transformation.
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, God invites you to experience the abundant life Jesus offers. It won't always be easy, but you don't have to stay stuck. If you feel God nudging you to trust Jesus for the first time, declare it publicly through baptism, get connected in community, or something else - take that step!
Don't wait for a dramatic one-time experience. Commit to the ongoing, daily process of obedience and watch how God will grow you in ways you never imagined. Your next step matters, and Pastor Matt and Hope Church are cheering you on.
