When the Road Ahead Feels Uncharted
Sometimes life feels like walking through cold, muddy ground without knowing how far you still have to go.
In this message from Manchester Citadel, Major Mike Himes shares a powerful reminder from Genesis 31 and Matthew 28: God does not just send us forward โ He goes with us.
Through the story of Jacob, the promise of Jesus, and a personal memory of being lost in the snowy mountains with his father, this sermon speaks to anyone facing uncertainty, transition, fear, or change.
The road may be tiring. The future may feel unclear. But the Father is with you.
The porch light is on, and God will see you home.
