I want to open by having us consider how the Lord’s blessings are similar to a jet aircraft flying at supersonic or near-sonic speeds. Did you ever hear a jet fly overhead and you looked ...read more

Obedience, Not Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Disobedience is an extremely costly sin. God desires our obedience over our sacrifice. If we are trying to worship and we have been disobedient to the Lord, then He won’t accept our worship until we make our life right with Him.

This morning we’re going to discuss the sin of disobedience to God’s commands. Disobedience is an extremely costly sin; for we know that when the Israelites were on their exodus from Egypt that they refused to follow God’s plan for taking the Promised Land, and the consequence was spending forty ...read more
