Humility Is: Letting Jesus Take the Wheel of your Life
(details)
God wants us to be salt and light to the world around us. In a me-centered world how can we be salt and light in a way that glorifies God? Stuart Migdon considered this from the time he entered into a relationship with Jesus but only understood it as he learned to give up control of his life to God. The early years of Stuart's adulthood were focused on taking control of his life. He was only able to shed this way of living after discovering God's definition of humility--letting Jesus take the wheel of his life. In this message, Stuart discusses seven keys from the lives of Moses and Jesus that reveal why it's crucial to live this way and how to practically do so.

Who is at the Wheel? (Be a Humble Passenger)
(details)
Learning to be a humble passenger is an essential first step before Jesus can take the wheel of our lives. Stuart Migdon teaches that when we have childlike humility, we are at the very place God can use us as true disciples. Sometimes trials help us experience how God works, and learn He is faithful and trustworthy. This message shows how humility allows God to define what is important in our lives. A humble passenger doesn't actively seek his own way, or try to figure things out on his own--instead seeking direction and advice. God has our best interests at heart, and we can trust Him. Once we've adopted a humble spirit, we are ready to embark on the journey to a transformed life.

Which Driver is Most Important? (Living the Selfless Life)
(details)
"It's all about me," is a recurring theme in today's society. Stuart Migdon tackles the tough topic of a me-focused life. Looking at Moses as an example of someone who learned the hard lesson of humility as preparation for the greater task of leading the Children of Israel, Stuart explains the importance of unconditional, God-focused and others-focused love. While power and ladder climbing are noble goals in the secular world, God calls Jesus followers to allow His love to infiltrate their lives so that He can take the wheel.

Ask for Directions (Gain Wisdom from God's Helpers)
(details)
Help! Have you ever waited too late to ask for help? Asking for help means you understand you don't have the answers to all of life's challenges. Stuart explores the different relationships God places in our lives and identifies the wise help He has arranged for us along the way. Asking for help forces us to disregard our own agendas and listen to wise counsel. This message helps us understand how God exhibits His love and provision for us in the form of helpers. Letting go of the wheel means taking advantage of the help God provides and embracing the guidance He gives through the vehicle of wise counsel.

Listen to Your Navigation System (Follow God's Direction)
(details)
Do you ever wish you had a GPS system for your life? Perhaps you find yourself on the road less traveled and you're wondering if you're even on track. Stuart Migdon shows us believers do have a GPS System. God's Positioning System is the Holy Spirit. Stuart teaches us that listening and obeying the Holy Spirit is crucial to becoming the best reflection of God in society today. He cautions that obedience is not forced. Just like in an automobile, the GPS system cannot force you to make the correct turns; God doesn't force us to listen and obey His Spirit. When we understand God has only the best in mind for His children, we willingly obey. Letting go of the navigation of your life and allowing Jesus to take control of your GPS system demonstrates to the world that you believe Jesus is a better driver than you.

Rely on Your Driver (Trust and Acknowledge God)
(details)
Trust. It's a word that has been abused in society. The people we think we should be able to trust the most are often the ones who end up hurting us. Stuart Migdon speaks frankly about trusting God. He is transparent as he addresses the reality of the tough times that come and go in our lives. He uses God's Word to assure us that we will have trials, but that God provides peace when we secure Jesus as the trusted driver of our vehicle. Stuart will encourage you with his message of hope as we trust in the only One who has already overcome the world. His exciting message will encourage believers to embrace challenges as opportunities to show God's glory revealed.

When the Four Car Pile-up Happens (Peace in the Trials)
(details)
Traffic, roadblocks, potholes, detours. Nobody likes them, but if you have been driving for any period of time, you have probably experienced one or more of those aggravating, time snatching, driving interferences. The same is true in a life dedicated to Jesus. Stuart Migdon shows Christians how to use Jesus' example of suffering to get through the discouraging circumstances in life that potentially sidetrack us. He looks at the ways our bad circumstances can affect multiple areas of our lives if we aren't carefully surrendered to Jesus at the wheel. Whether you are going through a time in your life that requires special caution, or your vehicle is running smoothly, Migdon provides powerful insight on allowing God's presence to provide you with support, comfort and peace.

Stop Clinging to the Steering Wheel (Cling to God)
(details)
Static cling, cling wrap, band-aids and water skiers. What do they all have in common? They are all clinging to something. They are holding on. They have a secure grasp. Clinging to Jesus during difficult times is the key to surviving times of challenge. Stuart wants you to experience the firm, secure grasp of Jesus' hands on the wheel of your life. He looks at seven practical steps to clinging to Jesus and equips audiences with practical insight on developing a relationship that is secure during times of trouble. His challenge to know God intimately forces us to grow deeper and more committed to a lifelong road trip with Jesus.

What Being a Passenger is All About (Find Joy on the Journey)
(details)
From childhood Sunday School children have learned songs about joy. Yet, as we grow older, we sometimes loose sight of the joy we can have in Jesus. Joy is one of the gifts God gives us to sustain us during dangerous driving conditions in our lives. Stuart breathes life and encouragement into souls down-trodden and discouraged by reminding them of pure joy--not dependant on circumstances, checkbook balances, behavior or health. He also reminds believers that the world is watching us; waiting to see how we (believers) are handling the things life throws our way. He challenges us to embrace the joy we have been given and allow it to uphold us during times of discomfort.

Are you Ready for the Long Haul?
(details)
Driver's education is the foundation for good driving habits. The foundation for a relationship with Jesus is joy. This first comes from knowing Jesus as the joy of your entire life. Salvation brings this joy. If you are looking for someone, something, money, situations or possessions to deliver pure joy, you will be sadly disappointed. Stuart Migdon discusses the joy we have because we know Jesus. It is the foundation for handling all of life's toughest road conditions. When we understand and embrace the joy Jesus brings, we have truly understood that Jesus' rightful place in our lives is behind the wheel. Stuart also shows how Jesus lives out the seven keys to a transformed life. We are equipped for the long haul when we embrace this transformed life with God through the roadmap Jesus gives us regarding joy.

What Stuart's Pastor Says:
In Jesus Take the Wheel, Stuart Migdon, a successful businessman and elder in our fellowship, whom I have had the privilege of knowing and watching closely for well over a decade, passes on practical ways for anyone to experience a transformed life on their journey. He overwhelmingly hits the mark in the easy to read but heart changing volume. We recently had Stu share the principles in Jesus Take the Wheel at a one-day seminar here at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge and many were blessed to gain insight into practical ways that they can surrender daily control of their lives to the Lord. A gifted communicator, Stu has effectively shared from our pulpit in the past, and I intend to have him expound on these principles during future services as well. I would highly recommend him to your fellowship as a guest speaker and/or conference host.
