Life often runs on routine. We wake up, work, eat, sleep, and repeat. Routines can be healthy—bringing order, comfort, and stability—but they can also slip into ruts, where life runs on autopilot and faith loses its passion. Mark Batterson warns: “What happens is this: the sacred becomes routine. And we not only forfeit spiritual adventure but we also start losing the joy of our salvation.” This is the danger of the Cage of Routine. Jesus told the church in Ephesus, “You have abandoned the love you had at first” (Revelation 2:4). They hadn’t lost their beliefs or good works, but routine had robbed them of intimacy with Him. When that happens, faith becomes mechanical rather than alive. Jesus invites us to remember, repent, and return to our first love (Revelation 2:5). The Spirit is always doing a new thing (Isaiah 43:19), calling us out of the ordinary into a fresh, vibrant relationship. To chase the Wild Goose, we must be willing to break free from autopilot, shake up our habits, and make space for God to move in unexpectedways.Sermon from September 21, 2025To watch this sermon or other sermons, subscribe to our YouTube Channel: "⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Beltway Park Church⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"
