Obedience

Topic: Obedience
4 Yokefellow volunteers and 19 inmates gathered together to seek God this night.

We started with each person around the circle of chairs offering a prayer. We then had introductions and sang several songs. It's amazing how group singing can build a sense of community among a diverse bunch of people.

We went around the circle, each person reading a verse of Psalm 18 until we had completed the Psalm. Then we went to the Gospel texts listed here.

Bible Scriptures to consider:
Psalm 18:44 “As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me
John 14:23-25 - "If anyone loves me…”
John 15:10 – “If you obey my commands…”
Luke 11:27-29 – “Blessed rather are those who…”
Matt. 21:27-31 – “A certain man had two sons…”
