Sermon: 4/26/26- Thursday's Devotional

Obedience Leads to Freedom
Reading: Exodus 12:1-13, 21-28

The Israelites faced a choice: obey God's specific instructions about the Passover lamb or face consequences. Their obedience wasn't passive—it required action, faith, and trust. They had to apply the blood, stay inside, and prepare to leave. Freedom wasn't automatic; it required participation. The same is true for us. Jesus calls us to specific obedience—love enemies, forgive offenders, serve the poor. These aren't suggestions; they're pathways to freedom. When we obey, even when inconvenient, we experience deliverance from sin's bondage. What specific instruction has God given you that you've been avoiding? Remember: obedience isn't legalism when motivated by relationship. It's trust in action, and it leads to the freedom God promises.
