In this challenging message, Larry Brey from Elevation Church calls believers to a radical 'all in' commitment, urging them to stop holding back parts of their lives from God. Drawing from Matthew 8, Revelation 3:20, and particularly Luke 5, Brey illustrates how inviting Jesus into every hidden corner—even the messy or uncomfortable—is essential for true healing and discovering divine purpose. He emphasizes that God won't force His way in, but when we open the door, He can transform what's been concealed.
Brey encourages listeners to confront their excuses and embrace the principle of 'because you say so,' mirroring Peter's obedience in Luke 5:5 to launch into the deep despite doubt. This sermon provides practical application for those struggling with insecurity, shame, or a lack of trust, demonstrating that putting everything 'in the boat' with Jesus leads to profound spiritual growth and the fulfillment of God's calling.
