Obey Anyway
Gen. 37:1-17
Obedience means that…
◊ with a broken past, you’re willing to grasp the future anyway (v. 1)
◊ when others practice deception, you’re committed to truth-telling
anyway (v. 2)
◊ when others are jealous and hateful, you value relationships
anyway (vv. 3-4)
◊ when others challenge your God-given gifts, you humbly, excitedly offer
those gifts anyway (vv. 5-10)
◊ when others doubt, you inspire belief in possibilities anyway (v. 11)
◊ when tasks ahead are unpleasant, you eagerly serve anyway (vv. 12-14)
◊ when circumstances are confusing, you persist in mission anyway (vv. 15-17)
