When God’s Plan Isn’t What You Want
What happens when what you want isn’t what God wants for you?
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus faced one of the most painful moments of His life. Overwhelmed with sorrow, He prayed for another way forward. Yet in the middle of His anguish, He surrendered to the Father’s will. Jesus shows us that surrender doesn’t mean we stop having desires, fears, or questions. It means learning to trust God with them, even when His plans look different from our own.
In this week’s message from our Becoming Like Jesus series, we explore what it looks like to surrender our desires to God, trust Him when we don’t understand, and find the courage to follow Him even when it’s difficult.
The question is: Can we say, “Father, what You want is what I’ll choose,” even when it’s not what we want?
Scripture: Matthew 26:36–44, Luke 22:44, John 18, John 6:38
Join us at Grace Church Akron East as we continue learning what it means to become more like Jesus.

Surrender (Becoming Like Jesus, Part 5)
This is what we are trying to do at church – be more like Jesus. In this series, we are taking a look at how to do this and what this means.
This week, we discuss the idea of surrender. Surrender isn’t pretending we don’t have desires or fears. It’s bringing them honestly before God and choosing to trust Him with both.
In this message, we take a look at Matthew 26:36-44, Luke 22:44, Exodus 34:6, John 18:1-9, and John 6:38. This message is from our 10:45 AM worship service on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

How Do I Know What God Is Calling Me to Do?
How do you know what God is calling you to do with your life? And what happens when you don’t have a clear answer?
In this episode of the Infinitely More Podcast, Nick sits down with Jeff Bogue, Aidan, and Penny to have an honest conversation about discovering God’s calling. Through personal stories, lessons learned, and practical wisdom, they explore what it looks like to follow God’s direction even when the next step isn’t clear.
Together, they discuss the difference between calling and career, the importance of having people speak into your life, and how to recognize when God might be leading you toward vocational ministry or serving Him in the marketplace.
Whether you’re questioning your future, considering ministry, or simply wondering how God wants to use your life, this conversation is for you.
In this episode:
- How to begin discerning God’s calling for your life
- Why your calling isn’t always the same as your career
- The role of community in recognizing your gifts and purpose
- Practical steps to take when you don’t know what’s next
- How to recognize a possible calling into vocational ministry
- Why following God sometimes means taking the next step without having all the answers
We believe God wants to work through ordinary people in extraordinary ways. What could happen if every follower of Jesus embraced the calling God has placed on their life?
