About this episode

Pastor James Savage discusses the challenge of trusting Jesus when faced with uncertainty, based on Acts 1:4–8.

What do you do when God asks you to trust Him… but nothing makes sense? In Acts 1:4–8, Jesus gives His disciples a confusing and even dangerous command: go back to Jerusalem, the very place that just crucified Him, and wait. No plan. No explanation. Just trust. In week two of our journey through the book of Acts, Pastor James Savage unpacks a tension we all feel: we often want clarity, but Jesus invites trust. Because every perfect plan of God isn’t initiated by people – it’s initiated by the Holy Spirit. This message explores the real question beneath it all: not “Do I understand Jesus?” but “Do I trust Him?” And if we’re honest, many of us trust Jesus with eternity… but struggle to trust Him with our everyday lives. So what would it look like to trust Jesus with your relationships, your future, your decisions, and your identity? . . . . . . . .  Comment below your reflections & takeaways from this message Share this video with someone who needs encouragement Jump into our yearlong study of the book of Acts: crosspoint.tv/acts Find a Cross Point campus in Middle Tennessee: crosspoint.tv/locations
