🎙️ The Holy Word | When Obedience Doesn’t Make Sense
📍 New Life Worship Center
🎤 Pastor Roderick Ingram
📖 Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1–14

In this compelling episode of The Holy Word, Pastor Roderick Ingram delivers a powerful message drawn from the story of Naaman, a mighty Syrian commander whose military success could not cure his personal affliction with leprosy.

This sermon explores the tension between human logic and divine instruction, showing how pride, offense, and misplaced trust can delay healing and breakthrough. Naaman struggled not because the instruction was difficult—but because it didn’t make sense to him. God’s command was simple: wash in the Jordan River seven times. Obedience required humility, trust, and surrender beyond personal preference.

Pastor Ingram challenges listeners to confront their own forms of “leprosy”—hidden sins, habits, or struggles—and reminds us that obedience is the key that unlocks healing, freedom, and transformation. True breakthrough comes not from understanding everything, but from trusting God completely.

This episode calls believers to move past pride, stop relying on human systems for God-sized problems, and walk in obedience—even when it doesn’t make sense.
