Get out of God's Way

Is it possible that the greatest obstacle to revival… is us?
In today's message," we dive into the story of Jonah—not the famous part about the fish—but the deeper issue of a man who resisted God’s mercy because of his own personal bias. From Jonah's stubborn nationalism to Peter’s well-meaning but misguided rebuke of Jesus, we uncover a hard truth: sometimes it's our opinions, traditions, and preferences that keep us from seeing God's full purpose unfold.

Whether it's our reluctance to forgive, our attachment to routine, or our discomfort with change, this message calls us to let go and surrender—to stop holding on so tightly to “how it’s always been” and start trusting in what God wants to do now.

Featuring bold insights from Jonah 3–4, Matthew 16, and Luke 13, this sermon is both a call to repentance and a challenge to release control. The woman healed on the Sabbath didn't demand healing—she simply received it. And God is still ready to move… when we stop getting in His way.

Let’s be a people who say: "Not my will, but Yours be done", and "Get out of God's Way"

We are a Bible-Based, Jesus Only small community church located in rural South-East Minnesota. Our building was originally constructed in 1861 and is the oldest protestant church building in continuous use in our county.
Many people have come and gone throughout the generations, but our goal will always remain: To Serve Jesus only, and learn from His Living Word, the Scriptures.
Our small church body are all admittedly sinners, that openly strive to improve our walk daily, but also understand that we are Redeemed by the shed blood of Christ Jesus and declared innocent in God’s eyes due to Grace Alone!
There is no act of baptism, charity or observation of communion that deems us worthy. No amount of following the law of Moses, or the ever-popular observation of legalism in many churches today that will save us. That is us believing in ourselves, rather than what Christ did for us completely.
If you struggle with understanding the concept of salvation or are plagued by false teachings of following traditions rather than Christ alone, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to help!
Please watch our archive of messages on a variety of topics. Please like and share our content with others that can benefit from what God has inspired our array of speakers to bring to the body.
Most importantly, be sure you are secure in your relationship with God and Christ Jesus. It is so simple. Do not wait. Tomorrow may be too late…
