To receive (what the Lord has

In the “responding” is the
“receiving.”
[Pastor]
A significant “step” in
“responding” to God is to “Submit yourself to the Lord (as His mankind), and
learn His Way” [Romans 10:3; Hebrews 5:8; Pastor]

HUMBLE YOURSELF IN THE SIGHT OF
THE LORD,
AND HE WILL LIFT YOU UP!
AND HE WILL LIFT YOU UP!
[Phillipians 2:8; James 4:10]

AND WE WILL BEAR MUCH FRUIT,
AND WE WILL BEAR MUCH FRUIT.
