    Something More, Part 1: The Search For Something More // Billy Phenix

    Play Episode Listen Later May 4, 2025


    This message centers on the story of Paul, a man who thought he had it all together. Born into status, educated under greatness, and devoted to religious law, Paul was on the fast track to success — until a binding encounter on the road to Damascus flipped his life upside down. That moment wasn't just about changing Paul's mind—it rerouted his soul. He discovered that following God isn't about having a perfect résumé. It's about answering a deeper call. A call to something real. Something alive. Something more. This message invites all of us—whether curious, new to faith, or spiritually stuck—to take a fresh look at what might be missing in our own journey. And maybe the “more” we're looking for is closer than we think.

If Jesus really rose from the dead, his resurrection has real implications for your life, your faith, and your future. In this Easter message, we talk about this event, why we celebrate it, and why it is the anchor for everything we believe.

    Before inviting Peter to follow him, Jesus asked Peter to “put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” After a night of fishing with no success and despite his reservations, Peter agreed: “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” At some point, every Jesus follower will face their own “because you say so” moment. Like Peter, we won't know what hangs in the balance or our decision. It's better to find out than miss out. Ready to engage in Deeper/Wider?

    All of us face obstacles to generosity. The common denominator for our obstacles is a desire for more. The apostle Paul taught that true wealth isn't found in accumulation but in contentment. And he shows what it looks like to place our hope not in riches but in God who richly provides.

    Biblical generosity is informed and fueled by the acknowledgment that God owns it all. We are simply managers. When we adopt that posture, we view everything we “own” as a potential tool to further the agenda of our King. We will give first and adjust our lifestyle accordingly. Christians who adopt this perspective as the organizing principle for their personal finances find it easier to surrender the other components of their life as well. As Jesus made clear, the number one competitor for our devotion to God is our devotion to more. More money and more things.
