One Step From Jesus // Matt Johnson

One Step From Jesus is for the moment when you know Jesus is inviting you forward—but the next step feels inconvenient, uncertain, or even unreasonable. In Luke 5, Peter had every reason to say no. He was tired, frustrated, and done for the day. But one small step of obedience opened the door to an encounter that changed his life forever.

The same is true for you.

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs in your faith are only one step from Jesus—one decision to trust, one act of obedience, one uncomfortable yes. You may not be able to predict what hangs in the balance of that step, but your willingness to trust Him can become the turning point in your story.

You’ll discover:

Why Jesus often meets you in ordinary, everyday moments
How one simple act of obedience can deepen your faith
What Peter’s story teaches about trust when life feels uncertain
Why your next step may matter more than you think
How God’s faithfulness meets your willingness to move

This message is for anyone who has been hesitating on a next step with Jesus. Maybe it’s forgiveness, asking honest questions, changing priorities, trusting Him with your relationships, or finally surrendering an area of your life you’ve kept closed off.

What feels like a small step today may be the beginning of something far bigger than you can see. Because when your faith takes one step toward Jesus, His faithfulness meets you there in ways you never expected.

👉 Prayer for this week:
Jesus, give me the courage to take the next step You’re inviting me to take. Even if it feels unreasonable, I trust You.
