From Now On

Southwest Church

What if everything you're holding onto is actually holding you back?

It's January, and like most of us, you probably want to move forward into something better this year. But here's the thing—moving forward often means leaving something behind. In this episode, Adam walks through Luke 5 and Peter's encounter with Jesus to show what it really looks like to answer God's call. It's not just about making a New Year's resolution; it's about a fundamental shift in how you follow Jesus.

What you'll discover in this episode:

• Why obedience matters more than your excuses—and how to actually choose it
• How your sinfulness will always meet God's grace (and why that changes everything)
• What it means when Jesus says "from now on"—and how it applies to your life right now
• Why following Jesus requires leaving something behind (and why it's worth it)
• How your mission becomes His mission when you say yes to discipleship

This message hits different if you're wrestling with whether you're all-in on following Jesus or just going through the motions. Whether you're a longtime follower or just starting to consider what it means to be a disciple, this sermon challenges you to think about what's really holding you back.

Listen to the end for Adam's challenge about the nets you have that others can't cast—and what that means for your role in God's mission.
