Who Am I When I Live Fully Alive in a Complex World

Have you ever told your kids to clean up before taking out a new toy, only to be met with protests and resistance? They can’t see past the task to the joy that’s waiting on the other side. This Sunday, we’ll explore how the Israelites faced a similar moment at the Jordan river. God had promised them the land—it was already theirs. But they had to cross the river and step into that reality. When Jesus declared “It is finished” on the cross. He wasn’t starting something—He was completing it. Your freedom, your identity, your place as God’s chosen—it’s all already done. Perfectly. Completely. Ongoing. But here’s the question: What Jordan river is God asking you to cross today? Maybe it’s forgiveness. Maybe it’s breaking free from bondage. Maybe it’s stepping into your calling. Or maybe it’s simply believing you are who God says you are. Join us this Sunday as we discover how to stop standing on the riverbank and start living in the reality of what Christ has already finished for us. The land is already yours. It’s time to get your feet wet. Phill Whatman
