Obedience Before Understanding

May 3, 2026    Kristina Copeland

“Obey when it’s uncomfortable.” This sermon explores what faithfulness looks like when the Spirit asks for action without providing the full explanation. The focus should remain on Ananias rather than Saul—an ordinary disciple who listens, hesitates honestly, and obeys despite fear and uncertainty. This week should help people name the reality that obedience often comes one step at a time, and that waiting for full clarity can actually mean falling behind. The tone should be pastoral and courage-building, affirming that hesitation does not disqualify faithfulness.
