Summary
Pursuing a relationship with Jesus will lead to transformation in your life. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how growing our faith isn't an academic exercise done by tucking knowledge into our minds. Instead, as we put what we learn into practice, we experience its reality in a personal way—and that leads to greater faith. Jesus' death and resurrection evoked different responses from the disciples. Pastor Allen examines these reactions and offers insight we can apply to our lives today.

| 1:32.0 | that we have been able to think of our faith largely in terms of comfort and convenience. |
| 1:37.0 | And we've come to expect that and I'm grateful for that. I'm not opposed to that. Comfort and convenience do not bother me. You know, I'm not opposed to that comfort and convenience do not bother me you know I'm not |
