I'll Say It Again

Are we truly abiding in Christ and His Word? This powerful message challenges us to examine our obedience as a crucial aspect of our faith journey. Drawing from Luke 17:1-19, we're reminded that God sets the guidelines for our lives, not us. The story of Jesus instructing His disciples about forgiveness and the subsequent parable of the servant highlight a profound truth: we shouldn't make excuses when God calls us to action. Instead, we're encouraged to trust and act on God's Word, even when it doesn't seem to make sense. The account of the ten lepers beautifully illustrates this principle, showing us that obedience often precedes the miracle. As we reflect on these teachings, we're invited to consider: Are there areas in our lives where we're resisting God's call to obedience? How might our faith grow if we step out in trust, even before we see the results?
