What's Holding You Back

In this sermon, Pastor Blake delves into the theme of reluctance and how it can prevent us from experiencing God's blessings. Using the story of Moses and the Israelites in Exodus, he illustrates how fear and resistance can cause us to settle for less than God's best.

The pastor emphasizes the importance of holding onto our faith when we see God clearly, even when others don't recognize His work. He warns against negotiating with sin, comparing it to "putting your head in a tiger's mouth." Pastor Blake encourages listeners to push through resistance, reminding them that breakthrough often comes just when we're tempted to give up.

He concludes by affirming that believers are "built different" because of their spiritual lineage in Christ. The sermon ends with a call to trust in Jesus and overcome reluctance, emphasizing that God's strength is not reliant on our wholeness.
