Description

Series Overview
If you look up the definition of “obey” it says, to trust another who leads you by doing what you’re asked to do.  This series will take a look at what it really means for us to obey God.  Jesus said, “If you love me, obey my commandments.”  He wants us to embrace obeying God as a love thing, a matter of wanting to please Him and serve Him not just for what we get out of the deal, but because His love for us has captured our hearts.
