What does obedience really look like when life gets tense?

In this message from our Rooted series, we explore John 14:21 and discover that obedience isn’t about rule-keeping—it’s about trust and relationship. Using a powerful baseball illustration, we’re reminded that obedience often matters most in high-pressure moments, when emotions run high and waiting feels uncomfortable.

This sermon shows how real obedience grows out of love for Christ, leads to deeper fellowship with God, and takes root in everyday, unseen choices. When we trust Jesus enough to follow His direction—even when it’s hard—our faith grows steady, resilient, and deeply rooted.
