It is possible to sit in church, hear the truth, and walk away unchanged. That is not what God calls us to.

In this second message from the Prepared series, John Gunter challenges us to move from being listeners of the Word to doers. Drawing from James 1, this sermon explores how preparation means building a lifestyle of humility, reflection, and responsive faith.

Key Takeaways:

• Being quick to listen is part of spiritual training
• Obedience must happen before the pressure comes
• God’s Word shapes us only when we allow it to lead us into action

How do you respond when life squeezes you?

In this standalone message, John Gunter challenges believers to evaluate their foundation when pressure comes. Using the theme “a skill is not a skill until you can perform it under pressure,” this sermon connects faith and maturity through real life and Scripture. It is not enough to know what the Bible says. You have to live it when it counts.

Key Takeaways:

• Faith is revealed, not built, in the storm
• Every challenge is either an obstacle or an opportunity
• Pressure can produce spiritual maturity if you let it
