Summary

Have you ever found yourself doing the same thing over and over again until it becomes second nature? But what if God is calling you to an unfamiliar place? In the final installment of the small faith collection of talks Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. sharpens our perspective on Jesus in the message “Splinters, Logs, and Doors.” Familiarity can serve as a stumbling block to our faith. Our faith in Jesus captures our hearts to be more attuned to the subtle whispers of the Holy Spirit. Instead of being clouded by the illusions of this world we can take a small amount of faith and put it in the right place and watch how God works in the unknown. Even in his time on earth, we witnessed as Jesus shifted the dynamic of the rooms he walked into and ignored his earthly desires to be comfortable and complacent. Like Jesus, we can be countercultural in our pursuit and ensure that we don’t grow complacent on the journey.

Aren't his sisters here with us? And they took a fence at him.

Jesus said to them, only in his hometown among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor.

2:38.0

Anybody out there like me on church online, that when you hear a song that you like, well, baby, you play that thing into the ground.
