The Call to Adventure: Do Hard Things

Inspired by Genesis 12:1-3, where God calls Abram to leave his comfort zone and venture into the unknown, this message explores the transformative power of doing hard things. Drawing parallels with the "Lord of the Rings" story and the book Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris, it emphasizes that embracing challenges fosters growth, resilience, and faith. Five key points highlight the journey: 1) God’s call pulls us from complacency to growth (Matthew 16:24); 2) obedience yields tangible blessings (Deuteronomy 28:1-6); 3) true adventure drives transformation and deeper faith (Hebrews 11:8); 4) faith is the foundation for action (Romans 4:13); and 5) answering God’s call leads to eternal life (Luke 12:32). Scriptures like Joshua 1:9 and Matthew 28:19 urge believers to step out in courage, trusting God’s presence, to grow personally and bless others on the path to the Kingdom.
