God’s Path Isn’t Always the Shortest – Pastor Nick Shaner on Trusting the Journey

Sunday message from our Johnstown Campus, Pastor Nick Shaner continues our series The Exodus with a deep and timely word from Exodus 14. As the Israelites face the Red Sea with Pharaoh’s army closing in, Pastor Nick unpacks how God’s path—though not always the shortest—is always the most purposeful. 📖 Key Takeaways: Why God led Israel the long way around What it means to be “hemmed in” and still trust The difference between a travel agent and a tour guide—and how God journeys with us How God’s presence is personal, His path is purposeful, and His power is trustworthy Whether you’re in a season of uncertainty or facing what feels like a dead end, this message will encourage you to trust that God is working behind the scenes, leading you with love and purpose. 🙏 If you’re ready for a new start, Pastor Nick invites you to respond to the life-changing message of salvation through Jesus Christ. His power is enough to bring you out of the old and into the new. 📧 We'd love to hear from you!
