Journey Into the Unknown – Part 4: The Danger of Re-Entry

1 Samuel 28:3–7

In the final message of Journey Into the Unknown, Pastor Joey challenges us to confront the spiritual danger of returning to what God has already delivered us from. Drawing from 1 Samuel 28:3–7, we see King Saul at a critical moment—fearful, desperate, and disconnected from God. Instead of waiting on the Lord, Saul re-enters forbidden territory, seeking answers from a source God had clearly warned him against.

This message reveals how seasons of silence, pressure, or uncertainty can tempt us to fall back into old habits, mindsets, or dependencies. Pastor Joey reminds us that re-entry often begins subtly—with fear replacing faith and desperation replacing obedience. What feels like a shortcut for relief can ultimately distance us further from God’s purpose.

As we conclude this journey, we are encouraged to trust God even when the way forward feels unclear. The unknown is not an invitation to go backward, but an opportunity to deepen our dependence on the Lord. True direction and peace are found not by revisiting the past, but by standing firm in obedience and faith.

Key Takeaway: When God has called you out, don’t go back—trust Him in the unknown.

Week 2: Finding Favor in the Will of God (The Story of Joseph) What does it really mean to walk in the perfect will of God? In Week 2 of The Story of Joseph, we discover that God’s favor is not found by chance, comfort, or position—but through obedience. Using Joseph’s journey from the pit to the palace, this message reveals three powerful ways believers can discern God’s perfect will: through the Word of God, the leadership of the Holy Spirit, and the peace of God. This sermon encourages listeners to remain faithful in every season, trust God’s process, and recognize that even delays and difficulties are part of God’s divine plan. When we align our lives with God’s will, His favor will follow.

In Part 3 of, "Journey into the Unknown" Pastor Joey is speaking about what is beyond what we see, so we can step into who God is calling us to be. Through Habakkuk’s call to wait for the vision, Moses’ command to remember, and Jesus’ reminder that all things are possible with God, we learn that faith requires both God’s power and our participation. Whether on the mountaintop or in the valley, God is faithful to fulfill His promises as we ask, seek, knock, and run to Him as our strong tower.

God is already at work in your future. This sermon invites you to see what He has for you in 2026 and provides four meaningful ways to build upon His leading as you journey forward.

Week 1 | Who Is Joseph? In Week 1 of our Tuesday Night Bible Study, we explore the life of Joseph—his calling, trials, and unwavering faith. From betrayal to blessing, Joseph’s story reveals God’s sovereign plan and points us to Jesus, the greater Joseph, who was rejected, suffered unjustly, and ultimately brought salvation. Join us as we discover how Christ is revealed through Joseph’s life and how God works all things for His glory and our good.

In “Are You Willing? – Part 1,” Pastor Joey delivers powerful truth, challenging us to examine our hearts and respond to God’s call. This message focuses on being willing to change, willing to obey what God is asking, and willing to grow in faith, wisdom, and spiritual maturity. It’s an invitation to step out of comfort, trust God fully, and journey forward—even when the path is unknown.

In this message, Pastor Joey shares how we can relinquish everything we carry—our baggage, stress, worries, and drama—and lay it at the Lord’s feet. By doing so, we can truly walk in freedom through forgiveness, releasing control and allowing God to lead every area of our lives.

In Part 2 of this message, Pastor Joey explores the events surrounding Jesus’ birth and the deeper purpose behind Christmas. Using Luke 1:26-37, he explains that the real controversy of Christmas isn’t the circumstances of Jesus’ birth, but the reason He came at all.
