Bold in Obedience | Minister Brittney L. Pyatt Minister Brittney L. Pyatt engages the congregants of LWBFC with her sermon, "Bold in Obedience," from the focal text of Joshua 1:8-9, which reminds us that courage is not the absence of fear, but the strength to obey God in spite of it. God commanded Joshua to meditate on His Word, live it out, and lead with boldness—not because Joshua was strong on his own, but because God’s presence guaranteed success.
This sermon challenges believers to:
Stay rooted in the Word – Bold obedience begins with Scripture shaping our thoughts and actions.
Step forward with courage – Obedience often requires risk, but faith pushes us past fear.
Stand on God’s presence – True boldness comes from knowing God goes with us wherever we go.
When we are bold in obedience, God’s Word becomes our guide, His presence our strength, and His promises our confidence.
