The way forward
Oct 4, 2026 • Arabella Northey
What does it mean to follow when you don't know what it will ask of you? In this talk, Arabella explores Luke 9:51–62, where Jesus sets out towards Jerusalem knowing the suffering that awaits him, while those around him are challenged to decide whether they are ready to follow.
We look at the fears, questions and commitments that can make us hesitate, and what it means to trust Jesus enough to take the next step — even when we don't fully understand what following him will involve.
