Obedience, Consequences, and a God Who Stays
When we drift from God — when we’ve been chasing significance in the wrong places, living for approval, letting sin pile up — we tend to overcorrect in one of two directions. Either we assume it doesn’t really matter because grace covers everything anyway. Or we assume we’ve gone too far and God is done with us.
Samuel’s farewell address in 1 Samuel 12 holds three truths together that most of us struggle to keep in the same room: obedience brings blessing, sin has consequences, and God will never abandon those who are his. All three. At the same time.
In week five of the Samuel series, Charlie unpacks what it actually looks like to live with all of that held together — and why the way we answer that question shapes everything about how we walk with God.
