Flying in Circles

from Conduit Ministries Hosted by Conduit Ministries

Many of us feel stuck in a spiritual holding pattern, constantly circling but never landing. In this often-overlooked parable from Luke 17, Pastor Luke shows how we keep ourselves stuck when we want God to follow our flight plan instead of releasing control and following him. The invitation is to love God himself, not just the benefits he gives, and to find peace, clarity, and immeasurable grace in simple, trusting obedience. Luke 17:1-10 | additional: Ecclesiastes 2:10-11, Job 1:21 Watch on YouTube
