Jesus: Flight Instructor

Pastor Joshua Kennedy 

Take Flight Series

📖 In Luke 4:1–21, Jesus begins His public ministry filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. Before preaching, performing miracles, or calling disciples, He is led into the wilderness where His character, obedience, and dependence upon the Father are tested. After overcoming temptation, Jesus returns in the power of the Spirit and boldly declares His mission, revealing God's purpose for His life and ministry.

If believers want to know what a Spirit-led life looks like, they need look no further than Jesus. He was completely dependent upon the Holy Spirit, unwavering in His identity, clear in His mission, and faithful in His obedience. Jesus never operated independently of the Father's will. Everything He did flowed from His relationship with God and His submission to the Spirit's leading.

Join Caleb and Tahlia Wilkes for this special Youth Service message, Jesus: Flight Instructor. In this message from the Take Flight Series, you will discover that the Christian life is not meant to be lived through human effort alone. Jesus provides the perfect example of how to follow God's direction, trust the Holy Spirit, and walk confidently in the purpose God has given you. Just as a flight instructor teaches pilots how to navigate the skies, Jesus teaches His followers how to live, move, serve, and obey under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

This message will challenge both students and adults to examine their dependence upon God, their clarity of purpose, and their willingness to follow wherever the Lord leads. The church cannot learn to soar by following culture, opinions, or personal preferences. We learn to fly by watching Jesus.

At Praise Tabernacle, we are committed to raising up the next generation of believers and helping people of all ages grow into mature disciples of Jesus Christ. We invite you to join us in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, for this special Youth Service as we learn from the greatest example ever given.
