Into the Unknown

Some seasons don’t come with a map.No clear direction. No guarantees. Just uncertainty—and the question of what to do next.This message explores what it looks like to move forward when you don’t have all the answers. Through stories of people who were asked to step into the unknown, we’re invited to wrestle with something deeper: what we actually trust when life feels unclear.Because in uncertain moments, it’s easy to fall back on what feels familiar—control, comfort, routine, or whatever gives us a sense of stability.But what if those moments aren’t meant to push us back… but to draw us forward?This episode is about learning to trust, letting go of what we try to control, and discovering what can grow in us when we don’t know what’s ahead.Because sometimes the unknown isn’t something to avoid—it’s where real change begins.00:00 Welcome and Background01:09 Family Update and Empty Nest02:50 Into the Unknown Theme02:55 Abraham Called to Go05:10 Transitions and Knowing God07:27 Israelites Guided by Cloud09:09 Golden Calf and Known Gods10:33 COVID and Our Need to Know13:31 Unknown Seasons Reveal God14:19 Moses Learns God's Name17:10 Getting Close to God18:58 Following Jesus in Real Time21:39 Church Age and Spirit Leading23:36 Building Decision and Baptisms27:20 Planning vs Trusting God29:34 Laodicea and Self Sufficiency32:48 Call to Surrender and Repent34:53 Closing PrayerClick here to donate to the programClick here for more sermonsOC Church of Christ
