In this message, Pastor Brent talks about how to keep moving forward even when the world feels like it’s falling apart. Real-world challenges—like wildfires and poor air quality—remind us that while circumstances get tough, we are called to thrive, not just survive. The key? Stop yoking yourself to the world and start yoking yourself to Jesus. Lean in, surrender, pray, and find rest in Him. No matter what chaos is outside, true strength and peace come from walking alongside Christ. Stay empowered, keep pushing ahead, and remember: it’s all about Jesus.
Three Ways to Move Forward in Difficult Seasons:
Yoke Yourself to Jesus, Not the World:
We’re not meant to carry life’s burdens alone or be guided by worldly wisdom. By surrendering ourselves and “yoking” with Jesus, we gain true strength, guidance, and rest.
Develop a Persistent Prayer Life:
Asking, seeking, and knocking are all about prayerful reliance on God. Don’t try to solve everything in your strength—invite Jesus into every situation!
Learn to Rest in God’s Presence:
Just as God commanded Sabbath rest, we’re reminded to pause, surrender control, and trust God to carry what we can’t. Rest isn’t weakness—it’s obedience and wisdom.
