What’s controlling you?
In John 7:1–13, Jesus is surrounded by pressure. His own brothers have a plan for Him. The crowds have expectations. Religious leaders oppose Him. Public opinion is divided. Fear keeps people silent.
But Jesus refuses to live according to anyone else’s clock.
In this message from Pastor Jon Groves at Honor Church, we discover what it looks like to surrender our timing, decisions, reputation, opportunities, and future completely to the will of God.
Sometimes the opportunity is good—but the timing is wrong.
Sometimes the people pressuring you genuinely love you—but they still don’t know God’s assignment for you.
Sometimes obedience means moving.
Sometimes obedience means waiting.
And sometimes following Jesus means refusing to let the approval of other people control you.
“Don’t let other people’s urgency become your assignment.”
“If it’s not His will, I don’t want it. And if it is His will, it’s worth the wait.”
“Jesus refuses to confuse visibility with effectiveness.”
“Whatever controls your decisions is functionally exercising lordship over your life.”
SCRIPTURE: John 7:1–13
