Sacrifice isn't just giving up—it's following through. In this convicting third message of the "Immeasurably More" vision series, Pastor Ryan reveals why obeying God sometimes makes life harder instead of easier and reminds us that sacrifice is what carries us through the wilderness when surrender gets us out of Egypt. From the Israelites' panic at the Red Sea to a powerful testimony about Transform 850 saving a child's life, this teaching will challenge you to choose faith over fear even when the ground is shaking beneath your feet. Whether you've stepped out in obedience only to face more pressure, or you're wrestling with what sacrifice looks like in this season—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest vulnerability, and a defining moment for our church. God didn't bring you this far just to go this far.
Scripture Reference: Exodus 14:10-12
Big Idea: Sacrifice is choosing to follow God where He's leading you, even if fear is trying to pull you back to what's familiar.
Key Quote: "We want purpose, but we don't want to risk anything to get it. We want legacy, but we want legacy without sacrifice. But purpose and legacy only happen when we choose to follow God despite what fear is trying to convince us to do."
