Thanks for listening.
Pastor Jake preaches on the Seventh Commandment.
Pastor Jake compares life with God to floating down a river, peaceful when we trust His guidance, but exhausting when we fight for control. He shares stories from 2 Kings, such as Elisha's protection by angel armies and the salvation of Samaria, to remind us that God is the one who saves; we simply receive His grace. Jake encourages us to stop paddling against God's current, embrace the life Jesus offers, and, like the lepers in 2 Kings, share the good news with joy.
