Embracing Discomfort: Responding to God's Call - Pastor Cody, September 14th
In this powerful message, we're challenged to confront the tension between our comfort and God's calling. The story of Jonah serves as a stark warning of what happens when we limit God's love and avoid discomfort. We're reminded that as believers, we're called to both share God's truth and embody His heart for reconciliation - even when it feels uncomfortable or goes against our natural inclinations. The speaker emphasizes that discomfort avoided often becomes discomfort multiplied, drawing parallels between Jonah's descent into the depths and our own attempts to escape God's presence. This message encourages us to embrace the transformative power of obedience, likening it to sandpaper smoothing our rough edges. As we face a world filled with evil and darkness, we're urged to be the light, allowing God to use us to turn the world upside down. This teaching invites us to examine where God might be calling us to step out in faith, even when it feels abrasive to our human nature.
