We are nearly there, nearly at Jesus Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, nearly seated at the Last Supper, nearly gathered in prayer at the Garden of Gethsemane.

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Aug 7, 2006

COVENANT OF OBEDIENCE INTRODUCTION: Most (if not all) of us find it only natural to want to do whatever it is that God wants us to do. We may have learned this nature while growing up.
