Understanding the Will of God
#06
Be Careful to Do the Commandments1 Samuel 15.23
Compiled and Presented by:Dave Stewart
1 September 2013www.churchofchristmiranda.com
Synopsis: In this lesson we will consider the sinfulness of presumption, the sin of trying to think for God. Jehovah has been very clear that we are to obey His commands. When we disobey out ot presumption we dishonor Him and exalt ourselves. This lesson challenges us to consider the areas of our lives in which we are presumptuous.
“Let all that you do be done with love.”
