Obedience leads to worship Awe is required for worship Applying God's Word to Life What is something you have seen that has inspired awe? How would you describe the sense of awe? What is that feeling? Was the Philistine response an appropriate one? (box of objects, milk cows, etc.) Does God striking down Israelites for looking in the ark seem excessive? Why or why not? How is our obedience to be like that of the cows? How reluctant is your obedience when it involves something you have never done before? What are some practical ways we can expand our wonder/amazement/reverence/astonishment of God? Announcements Vision and Victories: February 9 during the regular service times at both sites. Enjoy a time of testimonies and a meal as we celebrate another year of Hope Community Church! We need volunteers to bring food and to help with set up/tear down.
