Obedience...just the word may make you shudder. But God asks us to obey because He loves us. He doesn't want second best for us. He only wants the absolute best for us and that comes when we obey Him. When we grow in obedience we grow in our love and fellowship with Him. We have learned that sin will destroy our fellowship with God, but obedience and time spent in His Word deepens our relationship with Him and enables us to receive His love more deeply. Pastor Mark will ask us to consider how much time are we spending with God, in His Word and in prayer.
