Following the great discourse on the obedience of Christ, having provided the great example for believers to follow, Paul offers a discourse on our obligations to follow the example ...read more

Using the method that Jethro gave to Moses, we can learn the steps it takes to become an obedient and fruitful church through competent leadership.

Obeying The Calling

Contributed by Mark Holdcroft on Feb 24, 2003

While Samson obeyed his calling through disobedience, anger and revenge, Jesus obeyed His calling out of obedience faith and love.
