Jesus Shares A Story Of Opposites That Bring Freedom For Life (Audio)

Luke has Jesus delivering a message about “principles of eternity,” which are not beyond the capacity of human beings to put into practice—practical principles—not just ideals—when Jesus speaks like this, He can be dismissed as a mere spiritual guru. Yet, Jesus is more than a spiritual guru—for He did not withdraw from the world, except to go on “retreat” occasionally—but He entered into this world and embraced human life in all aspects of it—and speaking from His own experience, He spoke from a vision of eternity and a vision of reality.
Having the perspective and the experience of both worlds, we can trust Jesus’ vision and version of reality a whole lot more than we trust our own or anybody else’s version of reality.
Jesus has given us the story of life—a story of opposites—a story of eternity principles—a story of freedom.

Journeying With Faith (Audio)

A pre-recorded audio message from Pastor Rob Schubert.

A disciple is like a student who dedicates their life to learning from their teacher, striving to emulate their wisdom and actions. In the story of Peter, we see this devotion in action as he faces a storm and chooses to step out of the boat, trusting that Jesus can make the impossible possible. Although his faith wavers and he begins to sink, Jesus immediately reaches out to lift him up.

Are you ready to take the risk and step out of your comfort zone, trusting that with faith, the impossible becomes possible?
