The Blessing of the Extra Step | Life of Faith Church | January 21st, 2026

What if the miracles we're seeking are waiting just beyond our obedience? This powerful message explores 'the blessing of the extra step'—that crucial moment when we move beyond simply doing what's required and step into extraordinary faith. Through the story of the paralyzed man in Luke 5, we discover how four friends refused to settle for obstacles. They didn't just bring their friend to Jesus; they tore through a roof to get him there. Their radical faith didn't just catch Jesus' attention—it activated His healing power. The message challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we content with obedience alone, or are we willing to take that extra step that honors God's power and provokes His supernatural response? We see this pattern throughout Scripture—Abraham not only obeying God's command to sacrifice Isaac but then sacrificing the ram God provided, even though it wasn't required. David not only delivering food to his brothers but slaying Goliath when the Spirit moved upon him. King Joash obeying Elisha's instructions but missing the fullness of victory because he stopped short of the extra step. The profound truth here is that obedience brings blessing, but extraordinary faith—that willingness to go beyond what's asked—releases the fullness of God's glory. We're called to be a people who don't just attend church but carry God's presence into hospitals, offices, and communities, transforming atmospheres wherever we go. This isn't about works or striving; it's about honoring the immense power of the Creator who dwells within us and responding with faith that matches His limitless ability. — SCRIPTURE REFERENCES Luke 5:17–26 Genesis 22 1 Samuel 17 2 Kings 13:14–21 1 Kings 17–19 2 Kings 2–13 Matthew 8:16–17 Luke 4:18 Hebrews 11 James 2:17–26 1 Corinthians 3:16 1 Corinthians 6:19 Ephesians 3:20 Acts 1:8 Romans 8:11 — Experience the joy of a spirit-filled community at Life of Faith Church in Irondale, AL.
