The High Price of Saying No - Episode 2415

The High Price of Saying No - Episode 2415

Disobedience rarely shows its cost upfront. It often begins subtly—a small compromise, a silent justification, a moment of self-will. Yet Scripture reveals repeatedly that turning from God’s word always leads to loss, bondage, and separation. In this final installment of our obedience series, we explore how biblical figures from Adam to Samson to Saul illustrate the heavy price attached to disobedience—and how Christ calls us back into surrendered alignment with His will.

•Disobedience as rejection of God’s authority

•How ignoring God’s instructions creates spiritual vulnerability

•The hidden cost behind forbidden desires

•The heartbreak of lost assignments, opportunities, and favor

•Jesus’ call to surrender as the doorway to life

Biblical Examples:

•Adam & Eve: Loss of Eden through rebellion

•Saul: Loss of kingship through selective obedience

•Samson: Loss of strength after compromising his vow

•Rich Young Ruler: Loss of eternal reward due to unwilling surrender
