A Long Obedience
The Japanese bullet train carries passengers three hundred miles from Tokyo to Kyoto in just over two hours, and Amazon delivers nine million items in a day. In an age of near-instant satisfaction, how can we begin to grasp that the journey of discipleship lasts a lifetime? In this short series, we offer encouragement for the long haul as we travel the wilderness with the Israelites and hear again Jesus’s invitation to pursue lifelong obedience.
Using This Series Guide
The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.
Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.
This series includes 2 weeks of content.
The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.
It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.
We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.
Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
