A sermon on choosing obedience to God's Word over worldly pressures. When you face worry, doubt, temptation, or division, Scripture offers peace, faith, holiness, and unity instead. The renewal of your mind through God's Word transforms you into His character.
Obey God's word. When the world tells you to worry, choose to obey the word of God and be at peace. When all the circumstances around you say you should doubt, choose to obey the word of God and have faith. When temptation says, come over here, I want you to enjoy this sin, choose instead to obey the word of God And be holy, for God is holy. When the enemy tries to invite division and confusion, instead choose unity. Obey the word of God. When your flesh says, I'm not going to give, choose generosity and obey the word of God. When the world tries to pressure you to think like it thinks and to do as it does, say, I'm not going to be conformed to the pattern of this I'm going to be transformed by the renewing of my mind, and that renewing of the mind takes place when we receive the Word of God. Choose obedience.
