#173 – OVER TO YOU - TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE (19/8/20)

If you missed Sunday's broadcast, please catch up by following the link below. (For the foreseeable future, we will be running our Sunday morning services digitally. Please go to our website on Sundays at 10:30 to join in)

Each Wednesday, we take a break from our usual devotional series so that we can ask this question: “Father, what are you speaking to me about at the moment?”

i) Pray and position yourself

Take a moment to pray that the Father would speak to you today.

Position yourself in a mindset of expectation by meditating on and praying out of the words of 1 Samuel, which show us the importance of listening to and obeying Jesus.

‘But Samuel replied: “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.’ (1 Samuel 15:22)

ii) What is God speaking to you about?

Write down what the Father is speaking to you about: something you’ve read in the bible, some teaching you’ve heard, the experiences that you are going through…

ii) What are you going to do in response?

Write down any response that you are going to take. The response can be a new attitude, new action, new habit, new direction, new decision…

COMMUNITY GROUP STUDY

Some groups are not meeting in August. However, if you do meet, please use one of the daily studies and the questions below as the basis of your study together.

Discussion questions:

1. What is the Holy Spirit speaking to you about (maybe from Sunday's message or your bible reading this week)?

2. What will you do in response?

3. How can we pray for you?
