    Saved To Serve

    Contributed by David Hersey on Mar 27, 2015
     | 10,265 views

We learned that only the obedient know Him (1 John 2:4); love Him (John 14:23-24); are His friends (John 15:14); and of His family (Matthew 12:50). We looked at the importance of obedience to God as it relates ...read more
