Kingdom Authority - E3
from Litchfield Church of the Nazarene Podcast · host Litchfield Church of the Nazarene
What does it really mean to follow Jesus—not just admire Him, but actually go where He leads? In this episode of Kingdom Authority, Pastor Michael Lowenberg opens up Matthew 8:14–22 with a message that’s both healing and unsettling. We begin with a moment of mercy as Jesus restores Peter’s mother-in-law with a simple touch. But what follows is a shift in tone—a challenge to comfort, convenience, and half-hearted discipleship. Jesus doesn’t just heal bodies; He calls hearts. And that call comes with cost. This message invites us to move beyond admiration into surrender. The authority of Jesus isn’t just about what He can do for us—it’s about what He calls us to. If you've ever wrestled with what it means to truly follow Jesus, especially when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable, this episode is for you.
