Jesus Christ is the example of perfect faith, perfect submission, and perfect obedience to what God wanted. He learned obedience from what He suffered. Suffering is about not getting your own way. Be quick to obey Him.

Pastor Syd taught on “The Greatest Faith.” Jesus was amazed at the great faith of the centurion in Matthew 8 and Luke 7 and the lack of faith in His hometown in Mark 6. Submission is definitely not subjugation. Sarah from Love Life Prayer Walk shared.

Pastor Syd reviewed the history of obedience in the formation and progressive development of CWI and its mission.

Partial obedience is disobedience. Saul did not obey Samuel completely. Samuel said to obey is better than sacrifice and rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft. Have I spiritualized my stubbornness?

Disobedience can be subtle. It is the expression of evil, the nature of the devil. It is not trusting God. Hate disobedience, and get bitterness and an argumentative spirit out of yourself. Judge yourself first and be willing and obedient to the Lord.

Pastor Syd gave several examples of his acting in obedience to faith. Obedience in action will require surrender and perhaps submission.

The corresponding action of faith is obedience. Fear forces. Love leads. Faith follows. (Pastor Syd talked about the different translations of the Bible.) Abraham obeyed immediately, and he is the father of our faith. Pastor Syd shared about his immediate obedience in moving here. There are blessings associated with obedience.
