Sunday Morning Worship Service:
Marks of Spiritual Maturity: Obedience
MESSAGE RECAP: To obey means to give attention to and to comply with the directives of one in authority. When we submit to Him, we demonstrate trust in Him as well as a suppression of our own will and desire. Obedience is a big deal to God. Whenever we defy God, we are doubting His best for us or placing our will and desire above His. Every rule set forth by God for you and I was intended to provide us with protection or prosperity. It is not always easy to follow Gods law, but it is vitally important.
APPLICATION/REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
