Choosing Obedience

Dec 14, 2025    Pastor Renee Hidalgo

Christmas is often portrayed as picture-perfect, but the real Christmas story is filled with uncertainty, disruption, and difficult decisions.


In Week 2 of The Imperfect Parts of Christmas, we focus on the life of Joseph and the quiet but powerful choice he made: obedience in imperfect circumstances.


From fleeing to Egypt in the middle of the night to trusting God without knowing how long the journey would last, Joseph’s story reminds us that:


Obedience is rarely convenient

Obedience is often costly

God works through faithful steps, even when the future is unclear


This message invites us to reflect on our own seasons of waiting and uncertainty and challenges us to continue obeying God even when the path feels uncomfortable or incomplete.


Scripture Focus: Matthew 2:13–21

Whether you are walking through a difficult season or seeking direction, this message offers encouragement to trust God and choose obedience, knowing He is always at work.
