Trinity Methodist Church Petaling Jaya : Sunday School : The Bible : Foundations of our Discipleship by Debbie David

1. The Bible
Foundations of our Discipleship

2. Obedience to the Law of the Lord
• How can young people keep their lives pure?
• By obeying your commands
• With all my heart I try to serve you;
keep me from disobeying your commandments.
11 I keep your law in my heart,
so that I will not sin against you.
12 I praise you, O LORD;
teach me your ways.
13 I will repeat aloud
all the laws you have given.
14 I delight in following your commands
more than in having great wealth.
15 I study your instructions;
I examine your teachings.
16 I take pleasure in your laws;
your commands I will not forget.
