Steve Sylvester - October 5, 2025

Disobedience Brings Discomfort

Sometimes we’re just plain disobedient. Our disobedience brings discomfort. And by all rights, we should just be left to stew in our juices. But God takes a deep breath and simply refuses to abandon us.

Scripture References: Exodus 16:1-18

From Series: "You're Invited Into - Obedience"

Obedience. It’s no one’s favorite word, especially in a society that so prizes individuality and independence. Because obedience, which implies subservience, seems a strange thing to focus on after taking three-weeks to focus on the importance of relationships. As Google tells us, however (yes, roll your eyes, but it CAN be helpful), “The Latin foundational word for 'obedience' is oboedire, which correctly translated means – ‘to hear or to listen’. This translation implies a relationship of mutuality where members of the community are listening to one another.” Community. Mutuality. Where have we heard THOSE words?
