'Trusting God When There is Big Risk' - 10.29.2023 Pastor Mike’s message today caused me to reflect on several moments in life where taking a step for my faith or calling was risky. My mind and my heart would tug against what the Spirit of God was leading me to. But in each of those moments, when I took time to pray, to look to God, to trust him… everything became so much easier! Because I’ve seen God move before, I can risk it all and trust him in every situation!

"I love this statement because in our present day culture, we have so many things that appear to compete with our God. But starting in the old testament, all the way through the end of the gospel, the Bible always proclaims that we serve the one God who does not just make promises, but who can deliver on the promises He gives ... why, because He is the highest, the greatest and the strongest and there is none that compare to Him!" - Pastor Bill Benson, Young Adults Pastor . . myjourneychurch.com Sunday Services: 9a | 10:45a . . #bettertogether #clanton #jkprattville #maxwellafb #prattville #journeystudentsprattville #journeychurchprattville #millbrook #communityyaprattville #lifechange #inGodwetrust #trustinGod
