Jesus Brings Good News

Pastor Kevin Rutledge - 1/26/2025 10:00 AM

Are we truly diving deep into our faith, or are we content with surface-level reflections? This powerful message challenges us to look beyond our comfort zones and explore the depths of God's purpose for the church. Drawing parallels from a family trip to a deep lake, we're reminded that fear of the unknown can hold us back from experiencing the fullness of God's plan. Just as some may cling to the safety of a boat, we often cling to familiar interpretations of our faith. However, we're called to 'disturb the waters' and seek a deeper understanding of our role in God's redemptive work. This isn't just about personal growth; it's about reclaiming the church's prophetic voice in the world. By embracing Jesus' mission to bring good news to the poor and release to the captives, we can transform not only ourselves but our communities. Are we ready to let go of the side of the boat and plunge into the depths of God's love and purpose?
