Direction To Destination

May 17, 2026    Wesley Bullard

This powerful message challenges us to examine whether we truly have direction in our spiritual lives or if we're wandering aimlessly. The central question is profound: if we don't know where we're going, how will we ever arrive? Our citizenship is in heaven, as Philippians 3 reminds us, and while we're on this side of eternity, we must pursue that destination with unwavering focus. The message draws a critical distinction between spiritual formation and spiritual transformation—many of us are being shaped spiritually without experiencing the actual change that God's work produces in us. We're warned against treating Scripture as a book of opinions rather than commandments, and against managing our sin instead of repenting from it. The vision of two paths—the road to obedience and the road to fun—illustrates how the enemy doesn't tempt us with obvious evil, but with attractive distractions: busyness, entertainment, selfish ambition, and the love of money. These things keep us so occupied that we never have time for God. Yet the road of obedience, though it may not sound exciting, offers something the world cannot: true peace, purpose, and freedom from anxiety and depression. This message calls us to die to self daily, to experience authentic transformation, not just pretend spirituality. Our destination is too important to fake it—we need a real encounter with God that changes everything about how we live.
