The King is Here:At Your Word I Will

This last Sunday we had the privilege of hearing from our very own Mariah Fredericks. We read through the story in the beginning of Luke 5 where Jesus asks the disciples to take Him at His word and step into obedience even when it didn’t make sense. When we say yes to the Lord, our perspective is shifted, our purpose unfolds, and our participation is invited. Jesus is equipping His saints to act on a yes — to respond to Christ’s call on our lives in a new way and follow Him with greater obedience out of love and joy. Participation in the kingdom of God looks like taking Him at His word. We don’t get to partner with fear and lack because if He called us into something, He’s going to provide. Obedience breaks us open and leads us into further communion with God, with more room for the Holy Spirit to move. Obedience to a word from the Lord breaks the “nets” we are trying to fill ourselves. As sons and daughters may we journey deeper into the kind of trust that says yes at His Word and not at our human understanding.
