The Power Of Obedience Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Belinda V. Broadnax on Oct 24, 2024

This sermon highlights the transformative power of obedience to God's voice. It explores how obedience deepens our relationship with God, brings blessings, and unlocks the fullness of His purpose in our lives.

There’s a significant difference between hearing God's voice and obeying it. Many believers listen to God’s voice, but far fewer follow through with obedience. James 1:22 offers us a stark reminder: "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." The ...read more
