Saluki downtime February 10, 2025 What questions do you have for god?  Abide in me John 15: 7-8-  7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. How many of you ask your parents for stuff and they give you whatever you want?  Why do they?  Why don’t they?  What would they get you if you asked for it?  Deut 4:29 29 But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. Have you ever heard where was God?  This verse says if you seek him with all your heart and all your soul. Maybe we need to seek him with everything we have instead of just when we need him?  God wants you to long for him. All your heart and all your soul.  Spending time with God is about asking him things you wonder about. Ask him about school, family, your futu...

Feb 3 2025 Salukis downtime How many friends did you have in high school? How many friends did you have during your freshman year in college? How many of you have gained friends as you’ve gotten older? Or who has lost friends as they have gotten older? What work goes into having friends? What about family? Do you automatically have a relationship with family because you’re related?  What about a girlfriend/boyfriend or even a spouse?  What does it take to have a relationship with someone?  God loves you and is there for you. Today, I will share with you how much God cares about you. Revelation 3:19-21 19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they will be with me. Have you ever felt like God is...

Saluki downtime January 20, 2025 What do you want? Write it down. Pass out Note cards.  If you don’t know what you want, you’ll never get it. Your mind has to be in control of what you want. Finding joy in all you do. What is the difference between JOY and HAPPY? Deuteronomy 31:6 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave or forsake you.” #1. Knowing that God is there for you is the first step. Live for love It was his love that caused our creation. It was in love that he offered mankind grace, even in our continual rebellion. His love sent Jesus to rescue us, and it’s his love that will win at our final redemption—the gathering of all of God’s people for the great wedding feast. You were created to be loved by God and to love him and others in return. And you will never find satisfaction until you rest in the unconditional love of your heavenly Father. You will never find true purpose until yo...

Saluki downtime January 13, 2025 What is something everyone loves but you either hate it or don’t get it? Example - Barnes and Noble or kanes God loves you. I want you to know that and to share that with others. I am available to meet with you! Don't be afraid to text me if you are tired and need a coffee. Or hungry and want to grab lunch. Or if you want to sit down with me and talk about your life. If you want to know more about the bible, how to pray, grow your relationship with God, or just have questions. I want to do that, too.

Luke 14:28 which states, "For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?" Does God care where you work? Wh...
