     | 5,245 views

    The prophecy in Deuteronomy 18 pointed to Jesus being a prophet like unto Moses, but we don't often think of Jesus as being a prophet - let alone a better prophet than Moses. Why is Jesus, as a prophet, important to us?

    God Tests Obedience, Not Loyalty - By Pastor Ondu Joseph

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Feb 17, 2025
     | 376 views

    Loyalty without obedience is meaningless. God does not test how much we claim to love Him; He tests whether we will follow His commands. Let us strive to be not just hearers of the Word but doers, walking in full obedience to His will.

    Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 - "But Samuel replied: 'Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.'" Introduction: Many believers equate loyalty to God with ...read more

But, from the beginning with Adam and Eve, God has always been much more concerned about our obedience--to His Word. “God is not a man, that he should lie…” ...read more

    Abraham, what were you thinking? What was going through your mind? What was going through your heart? We parents want to know. We want to know how you could do it? How could you obey such a command? How could you have taken that knife?

    Genesis 22:1-18 The Sacrifice 6/12/16 Text After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 2 He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt ...read more
