How Do You Stay Spiritually Strong for a Lifetime? | A Long Obedience in the Same Direction (Acts 9)


Listen Later

Is it actually possible to follow Jesus faithfully for a lifetime—not just for a weekend conference or a New Year’s resolution? In this message from Acts 9, Pastor Jason unpacks the dramatic conversion of Saul (the Apostle Paul) and shows how a single moment of breakthrough can lead to a lifetime of follow-through.

Coming out of our men’s Firefest and the 90-Day Anchored Man Shred, this teaching is all about creating a spiritual training plan that keeps you connected to Jesus in everyday life—not just on Sundays.

Using Paul’s story and practical biblical wisdom, this message will help you see:
• Why God cares about every area of your life—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
• How each area is like a “leg of a stool” and what happens when one gets cut short
• The difference between following your heart and leading your heart
• Why habits that keep you close to Jesus matter more than willpower and guilt
• How wins in one area (like exercise or discipline) can transfer into spiritual growth
• What it means to “press on” like Paul in Philippians 3:12–14
• Why the goal isn’t perfection, but heading in the right direction with Jesus

📖 Key Scriptures in This Message:
• Acts 9 – Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus
• 1 Timothy 4:8 – Physical training is good, but training for godliness is better
• Mark 12:30 – Loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength
• John 15 – Staying connected to the Vine
• Philippians 3:12–14 – I press on toward the goal…
• Philippians 1:6 – He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion

This message is for you if:
• You start strong spiritually but struggle to follow through
• You feel stuck in cycles of guilt, trying harder, and giving up
• You’re overwhelmed emotionally or mentally and can’t see how it connects to your walk with God
• You’re part of the Anchored Man Shred or just want a practical framework for spiritual disciplines

Let this be a moment where God not only gives you breakthrough, but also shows you how to walk in a long obedience in the same direction.
