What if comfort has become the greatest barrier to sharing the gospel?

Jesus did not choose the easy road; He went through Samaria to meet one broken woman and offer her living water. In that encounter, we see the heart of a God who chose to depart from his own comfort to reach the lost. To live like Jesus, we must identify the idols that numb our hearts, resist the urge to stay safe, and defeat the comfort that keeps us silent. Only the Holy Spirit can give us true comfort that leads to life and satisfies the soul. When we step out of selfish comfort to share what we have, others will encounter Him through us.

Please pray for Pastor Steve and the team as they prepare for our service.
