3 Things That Keep You From Trusting Jesus | John 10:22-42

Oct 11, 2026  •  Justin Pobst

What's keeping you from fully trusting Jesus? In John 10:22-42, Pastor Justin reveals three common obstacles to trusting God: unmet expectations, fear of the unknown, and opposition from others. Discover how to surrender your expectations, overcome fear, and trust Jesus even when life doesn't go as planned.


What's standing between you and trusting Jesus?


You can believe in Jesus, attend church, read your Bible, and still struggle to trust Him in certain areas of your life. Sometimes the greatest obstacles to our faith aren't the circumstances around us but the conditions we've placed on trusting God.


In this message from John 10:22-42, Pastor Justin explores three things that can keep us from fully trusting Jesus: unmet expectations, fear, and opposition.


What happens when Jesus doesn't do what you expected? How do you trust God when you're afraid of what might happen next? And what do you do when following Jesus means facing criticism or disapproval from others?


Jesus reminds us that our security isn't found in knowing what tomorrow holds but in knowing the One who holds us. His promises are greater than our fears, His truth is greater than our expectations, and His authority is greater than the opinions of others.


A powerful reminder from this message:


"As long as your trust in Jesus has conditions, something else is still calling the shots."


True faith means learning to surrender what God never promised, trust Him with what we cannot predict, and obey Him regardless of who approves.


You don't have to know the outcome to trust the One holding you.


The question isn't whether Jesus has given us a reason to trust Him.


The question is whether we're willing to.
