Comfort | When Less Is More | Pastor Rob Koke | Shoreline Church

We all love comfort but what if our pursuit of comfort is costing us growth, strength, and purpose? In Part 2 of the When Less Is More series, Pastor Rob challenges one of our culture’s most prized values and invites us to rediscover a biblical truth: real life is found on the other side of comfort. Jesus calls His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. That path isn’t easy—but it leads to freedom, resilience, and transformation. This message explores how choosing temporary discomfort can lead to long-term spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Big idea: When comfort is the goal, growth stalls. But when we choose discomfort with purpose, God produces life. --- What you’ll hear • Why comfort is good—but dangerous when it becomes ultimate • How prioritizing comfort can stunt spiritual and personal growth • Jesus’ call to deny yourself and why it leads to true life • The difference between bad habits (comfortable now, painful later) and good habits (uncomfortable now, life-giving later) • Why physical discipline matters spiritually • Practical ways to choose healthy discomfort in daily life • How intentional choices today shape freedom tomorrow --- key scriptures • Matthew 16:24–25 • Philippians 3:7–8 • John 3:30 • 2 Corinthians 1:4 • 1 Corinthians 9:26–27 • 1 Timothy 4:7–8 • Romans 12:11 • 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 • Deuteronomy 30:19 --- As we begin a new year, this message is an invitation to stop drifting toward comfort and start stepping into a life of intention, discipline, and purpose. Less comfort. More strength. More life. Made a decision for Jesus today?
