Drawn to the Narrow Way

Oct 26, 2025    Aaron Wahl

This powerful sermon explores God's initiative in drawing people to Himself through His everlasting love and loving-kindness. The pastor emphasizes that Christianity is not transactional but relational—God draws us first, not because of our worthiness, but because of His goodness. The message challenges believers to walk the "narrow way" that Jesus calls us to, which requires humility, submission to God, and actively resisting sin. Using the imagery of "flipping tables" from Jesus's temple cleansing, the pastor calls the congregation to aggressively pursue holiness by pushing away from worldly influences and sinful patterns. The sermon stresses that true discipleship isn't easy or entertaining—it's a high, sacred, narrow road that demands we choose God's table over the world's table. The pastor addresses double-mindedness, explaining that sitting at both God's table and the world's table prevents spiritual breakthrough and keeps believers stuck in cycles of sin and struggle.
