Message Description:
This week’s message is exactly what your heart needs if:
- You’re stuck waiting for answers that haven’t come
- You're unsure how to follow God when the road ahead is foggy
- You’re wrestling with a calling that doesn’t seem to make sense

We’re diving into The Chosen – Season 4, Episode 1 ("Entry") and unpacking a powerful moment from John 12—Jesus' Triumphal Entry. What looked confusing at first became crystal clear after the resurrection. The same might be true for you.

You’ll walk away with 3 practical tools to help you follow Jesus when life feels uncertain:
1. Muscle Confusion – Why God allows trials to strengthen your faith
2. Unorthodox Methods – How God uses strange and unexpected paths to fulfill His purpose
3. You’ll Know More Later – Why clarity often comes after obedience

Come hear how God uses foolish things, murky moments, and even you—to fulfill His greater story.

TALK IT OVER

🌀 1. When Life Feels Murky…
Q1: What’s an area of your life right now that feels unclear, confusing, or “murky”?
Q2: How do you typically respond when God’s direction doesn’t make sense? Are you more likely to pause, resist, or try to take control?

📖 2. Obedience Without Clarity
Q3: Read John 12:16. What encourages you about the fact that even Jesus’ disciples didn’t understand everything in the moment?
Q4: Has there been a time when you obeyed God without understanding, and only later saw why it mattered? Share your story.

💪 3. Muscle Confusion: Trials That Strengthen Faith
Q5: In James 1:2–3, we're told to consider it joy when facing trials. What do you think God might be building in you through your current challenges?
Q6: What “faith muscles” has God strengthened in you through confusing seasons or painful waiting?

🪞 4. When God’s Ways Are Unorthodox
Q7: Isaiah 55:8–9 reminds us that God’s ways are not ours. How has God led you in an “unorthodox” way before? How did you grow through that?
Q8: What makes it hard to trust God’s plan when it doesn't follow your expectations or timeline?

🧭 5. Obedience Now, Clarity Later
Q9: “You don’t need to understand the plan to trust the Master.” How does that truth challenge or comfort you right now?
Q10: Proverbs 3:5–6 calls us to trust with all our heart. What part of your heart are you still trying to “lean on your own understanding”?

6. Carrying the Jar
Q11: Like the man with the water jar in Luke 22, is there something God is asking you to do that feels small, strange, or foolish? What’s holding you back?
Q12: If your obedience could set the stage for someone else’s breakthrough—would you do it? What would it look like to "carry the jar" this week?
