Obedience, the Goal of the Christian Life

In his message “Obedience: The Goal of the Christian Life,” Pastor Steve Smail emphasized that true faith is demonstrated through a life of obedience to God. He explained that obedience isn’t about rigid rule-following, but about trusting God’s Word and aligning our lives with His will out of love and devotion. Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Steve showed how obedience is the natural response to a transformed heart—a sign of spiritual maturity and a reflection of our relationship with Christ. He called believers to pursue a consistent, surrendered walk with God as the foundation of the Christian journey.
