Sometimes life feels like a trip you didn’t fully prepare for.
You had a plan. A timeline. An idea of how things were supposed to go. But somewhere along the way, the path shifted, and you realized following Jesus might take you somewhere different from what you expected.
In “Pack Your Bags,” Pastor Alyssa Jacobs from Mosaic Church Austin opens a new series leading toward Easter by inviting us into a simple but challenging question: What does it really mean to follow Jesus?
Looking at a moment in Matthew 16, this message reflects on the tension between our plans and God’s plans, the places where our expectations collide with the way of Christ, and the invitation Jesus still gives today: Come and follow me.
Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for years, are wrestling with doubts, or are simply curious about faith, this message speaks to something we all experience. The uncertainty of the road ahead, the struggle to trust God with our future, and the quiet sense that there might be more to the journey than we first imagined.
As we begin the road toward the cross this season, this message invites us to consider what it means to step forward with open hands, trust in Jesus’s direction, and keep walking with Him even when the path is unfamiliar.
If you’ve ever wondered where God might be leading your life next, this message is for you.
