Step Out in Sacrificial Obedience | Shawn Williams

Whether we are accustomed to comfort, stability, and control—or we long for those things—the word sacrifice can feel like a radical concept meant only for more faithful and faith-filled people. In Luke 5, we watch Peter choose to obey Jesus when it does not make sense. Real obedience often comes with a cost and requires us to release control, comfort, or security. It invites us to stop managing our relationship with God from a distance of false control and instead ask the piercing question: What am I actually holding on to that is keeping me from truly following Him? This week invites us to consider what stepping out might require of us and to trust that what we place in God’s hands will be used for His purposes.
