This week's message is about good intentions, abandoned mandolins, untested soil kits, and the many "but firsts" that get in the way of truly following Jesus. We're looking at Luke 9:57–62, where Jesus meets a few fired-up followers who aren't quite ready to sign up for the cost of discipleship. It's a reminder that enthusiasm is easy — but commitment? That's where faith gets real.

Who do you trust? Whose voice do you listen to? Do we cling to our own way? Our own plan? Our own understanding, or are we acknowledging God is all that we do so that our paths may be laid out better in front of us? This is part 2 of our Summer Wisdom series this summer at Wesley!

Knowledge is good, but there is a vast difference between knowledge and wisdom

We might amass all the knowledge we can cram into our brains, but without wisdom, our knowledge is useless.

Where does real wisdom come from? Where can we find it? How do we obtain it?
