In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, Dr. Trent Langhofer teaches through Matthew 7:13–27 as Jesus contrasts the wide road that leads to destruction with the narrow way that leads to life. This sermon explores the difference between drifting through life versus intentionally following Jesus, the voices shaping our decisions, and what true intimacy with God actually looks like. Through the story of Chuck Colson and the words of Jesus, Dr. T reminds us that the narrow road may be difficult, but it leads to a life filled with purpose, transformation, and hope. Whether you feel overwhelmed, spiritually numb, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or simply exhausted from trying to do life on your own, this message is an invitation to stop drifting and surrender fully to Jesus.
