The Journey Home: Stay in lane

We all know the feeling — you’re driving down the road, and suddenly your car drifts. That’s exactly what sin looks like in the Christian life. In this week’s message from our series The Journey Home, Pastor Ryan unpacks the honest struggle every believer faces: knowing what’s right and still veering off course. Drawing from Romans 6–8, he tackles the three ways we try to handle sin on our own — minimizing it, hiding it, and making amends — and why none of them actually work. The real answer? Stop fighting sin by staring at it, and start each day asking the Holy Spirit to guide your mind and set your eyes on the road ahead. When you walk by the Spirit, living for Jesus stops being about white-knuckling your way through temptation and starts being about fixing your gaze on the One who already set you free. There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus — and that freedom is exactly what makes it possible to stop hiding your struggles and start bringing them into the light.
