What Does Obedience to God Look Like? - Friday

Alright youthies, it's our final day of trying to answer the question of "What does obedience to God look like?".  Just to recap, so far we've discovered that our obedience shows up in the following way: loving  God, walking in His ways, keeping His commands, and through remaining faithful to Him.  So let's look at one more way our obedience shows up....

Obedience is serving Him.


Any guesses which verse we're gonna read today???.....that's right it's back to Joshua 22:5 one more time so get it out and read it one last time for the week!

So, Joshua commanded us "to serve Him with all your heart and all your soul.".

Serving others is something most people don't want to do.  We would much rather be served than serve.  Joshua told the children of Israel that if they loved God they would serve Him.  That means they would do whatever He commanded them to do.  They would work and serve with all of their heart and soul.


So what does that mean for us?  Well it means that we have to try to start obeying God by serving him in our daily lives.  We can start serving God by digging into His word everyday.....we can serve God by spending a little time in prayer each day thanking Him and praising Him....we can start by looking for opportunities to serve in our church and in our community.


Where do you guys see some specific possibilities for service within our church?

Where do you think you might enjoy serving at FBCG?

I would love to hear back from some of you guys about some ideas and get you started with some new things!

So you remember the 3 questions that we answered earlier in the week on the special piece of paper I told you to keep track of?  Get it back out, and somewhere on it I want you to write down at least 5 ways that you can live your life in a godly way this week....things that you haven't been doing or that you know you need to change.  I want you to bring those papers with you on Sunday morning and place them in a prayer box that I'll have at the front of the room.  I will be praying over the box (not reading the things in there) over the next few weeks with you!

Hope to see you guys at the movie today!  Text me for details 8389755
