The sermon titled "Do Whatever He Tells You" by Ellie Gill explores the significance of obedience toward God's calling using biblical characters as exemplar figures. The service commenced with songs of worship and Mother's Day greetings before delving into the message of obedience. Four biblical characters - Mary, Huldah, Lois and Eunice, and Anna - are discussed in varying stages of life to illustrate their obedience to God's words and their commitment to his teachings. Mary humbly accepted God's plan and gave birth to Jesus as shown in Luke 1.26-33. Huldah, a prophetess during King Josiah's reign, showed commitment and delivered a difficult message to the King (2 Kings 22:14-20 and 2 Chronicles 34:22-28). The story of Lois and Eunice showed their dedication to passing their faith to Timothy, resulting in becoming a church planter (2 Timothy 1:5). Lastly, Ellie introduced Anna who devoted her life to worshipping and praying, emphasizing God's plans for every life stage as found in Luke 2:36-38. The sermon centers on obedience to God, where Ellie placed emphasis on listening to God, seeking His will, and surrendering individual plans to trust in His greater plans. The sermon concludes with a prayer, which encourages the congregation to say yes to God's calling. This Mother's Day sermon provided the congregation valuable life lessons from biblical figures, encouraging self-reflection on their obedience and faithfulness to God, and challenged them to apply these principles to their own lives.
