B Encouraged: In God's Strength, We Have the Freedom to Steward Our Own Salvation Story (2-2-22)

In John 5, we meet a man who is not able to steward his own salvation story. He easily is swayed by the voices about him. Jesus seeks to encourage him into a position of truth that is strong. Jesus will follow this story of 'whom will you listen to?' by telling those following him that he listens to the Father alone. To steward our own salvation story well we need to be able to listen to the Father alone - as Jesus did. In that voice alone is joy and freedom. Be encouraged - as you walk in the love of the Father, you are able to be free from the disingenuous voices that want to diminish the joy and freedom you have found.
