Pressing Not Cruising

Pastor Shelley warns against the peril of “spiritual cruise control” through a compelling vehicle metaphor that illustrates how passive faith becomes dangerous in complex spiritual terrain. Using Philippians 3:13-14 as foundation, the message challenges believers to maintain active, intentional pursuit of Christ rather than relying on spiritual autopilot. With examples from Eli’s life and personal testimony, Shelley demonstrates that deepening relationship with Christ requires deliberate daily discipline rather than comfortable coasting.
