    We have our own idea of what the essence of obedience is. But, according to Jesus, just what is it?

    “Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, ’If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross ...read more

    Sermon # 5 - No Fear In Obedience Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 4, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 959 views

    Jonah chose to disobey God and ended up in a tumultuous storm. Are we walking in obedience to God and His word or are we trying to compromise and please people? Here’s a word of caution from the life of Jonah that if God is against us, there is no one who can save us.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “Then the mariners were afraid,” (ESV) The mariners were filled with dread when they saw that the sea was so tumultuous and beyond their control. They therefore, feared that the ship would be wrecked, their goods destroyed and they would lose their lives in the process. I am ...read more
