About this sermon

Obedience is not how we earn God’s love — it’s how we respond to it. In this message from pastor Curtis, we’re reminded that when God feels silent, it’s often not because He hasn’t spoken but because we haven’t responded. The gospel frees us from performance and invites us into obedience fueled by love, not pressure. Transformation doesn’t come from striving harder, but from surrender. One step of obedience at a time, God is doing more in you than you realize. Watch the full sermon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2SbLRPGg8Q 🙌 Join us at one of our campuses: summitchurch.com
