Faithfulness: The Greatest Ability Is Dependability (7 of 9)
Series: Fruit of the Spirit - Home Sweet Home
James Merritt
Galatians 5:22
Introduction
1. There are over two hundred geysers in the yellow stone national park. But there is one geyser that stands out from all the others. It is not the largest geyser, nor does it reach the greatest height. Yet it is by far the most popular geyser. Its popularity is due to one thing-its dependability. Because once every sixty-five minutes it shoots a stream of boiling water over 170 ft. Into the air. You can practically set your clock by it. They call it ''old faithful.''

(1 cor. 10:13)
