When God called Abraham to leave his homeland, there were no guarantees—no map, no timeline, no certainty about what waited ahead. All he had was a promise: that God’s possibilities were greater than the comfort of the familiar. In the same way, Jesus invites us not to settle for maintaining what is, but to step out in faith toward what could be. In John 14, when Philip asks to see the Father, Jesus reminds him that the fullness of God is already present among them—and that even greater works are still to come. God’s vision for our lives, our church, and our world always stretches beyond the boundaries of our imagination.
But stepping into that kind of faith means letting go of control. The status quo feels safe; it’s predictable, measurable, and familiar. Possibility is risky—it asks us to believe that God can still surprise us, that something new is being born even when the path feels uncertain. The story of Abraham and Jesus’ words to his disciples both remind us that the life of faith is not about preservation, but participation: joining in the new thing God is doing.
As we close our Greater Than series, this is our invitation—to trust that God’s future is greater than our fear, and that what God longs to do through us is more than we can ask or imagine. Possibility is not wishful thinking; it’s the heartbeat of faith. So let’s take the next step together, not because we know exactly where it leads, but because we believe the One who calls us forward is faithful.
