I Love You Lord, But // Part 1
In I Love You Lord, But… Part 1, Pastor Mike Stevens challenges believers to examine the "buts" that hinder full surrender to God. Many fear that saying "yes" to God means giving up comfort, control, or even moving to Africa! But Jesus’ call to "Follow Me" is both a great challenge and an even greater promise. Through powerful scriptures like Matthew 10:38-39 and Luke 9:23-24, Pastor Mike reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just take—He gives a new and improved life now and eternal life to come.
The message also distinguishes between truly following Jesus and being burdened by toxic religion. Bad religion destroys, but Jesus leads to life! Like Peter, who jumped out of the boat too soon (John 21), we must learn to follow God's timing. In the end, God’s expectations are not unreasonable—He calls us to trust Him, and whatever He asks will ultimately be worth it. If He does call you to Africa, you’ll love Africa!
