In a chapel message at The Calvary Academy, the speaker emphasizes the importance of obedience, likening it to stretching a rubber band that strengthens through discomfort. Using Noah’s story as an example, he illustrates that true obedience requires trust, courage, and endurance, and encourages listeners to identify ways to stretch their obedience in daily life.
