The Doctrine of Leaving and Pressing - Carter Conlon

The message centers on a transformative call to embrace the fullness of Christian identity and destiny, rooted in the resurrection power of Christ and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from the Emmaus road narrative and Jesus’ declaration in Luke 4, it emphasizes that true revival is not mere emotional uplift but a deep, burning conviction that renews one’s vision, identity, and purpose in Christ. The message calls believers to leave behind past failures, shame, and spiritual stagnation, pressing forward with Paul’s relentless pursuit of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. It underscores that the victory of Calvary is not a distant memory but a present reality, available now through surrender, faith, and the supernatural empowerment of the Spirit. The sermon culminates in a powerful altar call, inviting listeners to respond with radical commitment, trusting that God’s promises—freedom, healing, vision, and divine empowerment—are already fulfilled and accessible in this moment.
