Jesus Is Our Compass

Jan 11, 2026    Mark Cress

In a world full of voices, opinions, and endless options, it’s easy to drift — spiritually, morally, and missionally. In Jesus Is Our Compass, we remind ourselves that the church does not determine its direction by culture, comfort, or convenience, but by Christ.

Jesus is not just our Savior; He is our guide. He sets our true north. He defines what matters, what lasts, and what is worth giving our lives to. When we follow Him, He aligns our priorities, shapes our values, and keeps us oriented toward God’s purposes even when the path is difficult or unclear.

This message calls us to re-center our lives and our church around Jesus — not as one influence among many, but as the ultimate authority for how we live, love, lead, and serve. When Jesus is our compass, we don’t just ask, “What do we want to do?” We ask, “Where is He leading us?” — and we follow.

This is who we are. We are a people who follow Jesus wherever He leads. This is Jesus Is Our Compass.
