In this message, Pastor Lucas reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just go where the crowds are—He seeks out the one. While our minds often focus on what feels strategic or significant, Jesus shows us that His ways are higher, and His love is deeply personal. Through the story of the road to Emmaus, we see a beautiful picture of how Jesus walks with us—even when we don’t recognize Him. He comes close, reveals Himself in His timing, and invites us into a life aligned with His will and character. No matter where you are on the journey, take heart—He walks with us.

In the Bible, we see a beautiful picture of an all-powerful God—and yet He is deeply personal. He hears every cry and every prayer that comes from His people. In this sermon, Pastor Lucas unpacks the truth of 1 John 5:14: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” What does it mean that God hears us? And how should we respond when it feels like our prayers go unanswered? Pastor Lucas explores the tension many of us face—the joy of powerful answered prayer alongside the silence we sometimes experience. He reminds us that the promise that God hears us is not just for comfort but for transformation. As we surrender to His will, we begin to see that His will is all we need.
