Stepping out in faith often means entering into what is new, unknown, uncomfortable, and risky. It rarely feels safe or certain. Yet, God honors bold trust, and that first step—however uncertain—can lead to massive breakthrough. Sometimes God gives clear direction; other times He calls us to move forward even when clarity is lacking. In both, we are called to trust Him and say “yes.” He sees the full picture even when we don’t.

Religion criticizes, condemns, and resists change, while Jesus brings truth, grace, and life. From the woman caught in adultery to David’s worship and the Samaritan woman, we see that religion clings to the past and appearances, but Jesus seeks hearts. True faith moves forward in relationship with Him, not in empty rituals or legalism.

Everyone is created to worship. If we don't worship Jesus, we'll end up worshiping something else. God alone is worthy of our worship, which should be a heartfelt response to who He is and what He’s done. True worship is done in spirit and truth, with reverence, humility, and gratitude. Pride hinders true worship. Worship requires full engagement, surrender, and should not be casual or distracted. It's a lifestyle, not just a moment, and there’s a spiritual battle over our worship and devotion.

We are all called to do difficult things. As we walk through Luke 19, Jesus exemplified conviction, devotion, humility, boldness, and compassion as He entered the city, fully aware of the suffering ahead. Riding a donkey fulfilled Zechariah’s prophecy, showing his humility as the King. His actions encourage us to drop our pride, find security in God, and be faithful in our own challenges. Just as Noah, Joshua, and Peter said yes to difficult tasks, we are called to do the same, trusting that Jesus will lead us and the Holy Spirit will guide and comfort us.

Joseph's story illustrates how, despite being mistreated and enslaved by his brothers, God remained with him. We all experience feelings of defeat and despair, often blaming others or harboring resentment. However, God empowers us to make choices, encouraging us to give our burdens to Him and to be grateful rather than grumbling. Biblical figures like Paul, Moses, Gideon, Peter, and David also faced moments of defeat but found strength in God. Their experiences remind us that our struggles do not define us; we are more than conquerors through Christ, who died for our sins and overcame death. The Holy Spirit is greater than any challenges we face and can help us resist feelings of defeat, turning us to Jesus for true victory.
