On January 15, 1557, Elizabeth Dirks was drowned for her faith after refusing to recant her obedience to Christ. Her story confronts a hard truth: much of what passes for Christianity has never been tested. Elizabeth did not live for comfort, approval, or safety. She believed Jesus was Lord and that obedience mattered more than life itself. Her quiet faith still speaks to the church today.

Who truly belongs to the family of God? In Luke 8:19-21, Jesus redefines belonging not by bloodline, but by obedience. Dive into how historic Christianity never separated faith from action and why modern teachings often miss this crucial link. Discover what it means to hear and do God’s Word, and why genuine faith always bears the fruit of obedience. Join us as we explore the powerful truth behind Jesus’ words and their relevance today.

If you’ve been feeling distant from God, this word will call you back to deeper fellowship and true worship.
