Obedience?! What an outdated and hate-filled word! You have heard, witnessed, or experienced the visceral that our world has to obedience… both the word and the act of submission that it calls for. Our world hates authority. We are rebellious by nature. As the hymn attests, we are prone to wander. However, we all are obedient to something, and that something which we are obedient to stems from someone. That is the reality that each of us is faced with, regardless of how defiant we think we are. The question that we get to answer in this lifetime is to what and ultimately to who we are obedient. Each path of obedience has a destination. But not each path of obedience leads to peace. In fact, only one does, and Sunday, as we close our Stories of His Power sermon series, we will turn to 2nd Chronicles 34 to see how we can and why we should get from where we are (disobedience) to where we should want to be (obedience).
