Led Into Purpose

Series: Led By The Spirit

April 27, 2025 | Rev. Brittney Stephan

This week’s message, Led Into Purpose, invites us to hear Jesus’ call with fresh ears and open hearts. In John 20:21-22, the risen Christ breathes His Spirit into the disciples and sends them out, not with fear, but with a deep sense of purpose. In Matthew 28:17-20, we see that even in their doubts, Jesus commissions them to go, to teach, and to baptize in His name. God doesn’t wait for us to be perfect — God leads us as we are, breathing life into our calling and trusting us to carry God's love into the world.
