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.


This week, I want to ask: Does God care what you do for a living, where you go to school, or if you play sports?


Well, let me tell you this. God does not care what you do. God cares how you do it.


Does God care how much money you make?

What does God care about?


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?

What does God care about?



Does God care where you live?

What does God care about?


What are your questions? Maybe I can help.


What is God looking for from you?


Psalm 37:4 - ESV

Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.


Ok let's talk about what it doesn't mean. What are your thoughts?


It doesn't mean do whatever you want, and God is ok with it.

God doesn't mean chasing after your flesh or your desires and God will bless it.


So what does this mean?


“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind” is a Bible verse from Matthew 22:37.


Mark 12:30-31

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength."


It doesn't matter what you do. It matters how you do it and why you are doing it.


How is your relationship with God?


How much time do you spend reading your bible?


How much time do you spend praying?


How is your sin life?


How much time do you spend serving others?


Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV) “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”


God wants you. God wants you fully. 


God loves you regardless of where you end up. If you have messed up, God loves you. If you are living a great God-honoring life, God loves you. If you want to change paths in life. God loves you.


My challenge to you is to spend real time with God. Remove sin from your life so you can hear from God. Walk with God, and God will give you the desires of your heart.

Saluki downtime Nov 11, 2024 What are things that are out of your control? What is something that has negatively impacted your life outside of your control? Positively We will talk about Job. I want to talk about one of the most patient guys in the bible. I want to talk about one of the most God-honoring men of the bible. I want to talk about a guy who handled himself well while God allowed Satan himself to destroy his life. The Book of Job in the Bible is about a wealthy and pious man named Job who endures unimaginable suffering and loss:   Job's life Job is a wealthy man in the land of Uz with a large family and many flocks. He is known for being blameless, upright, and careful to avoid evil.   Satan's challenge Satan challenges God in heaven, arguing that Job is only good because of God's blessings. God allows Satan to test Job by inflicting suffering on him, including the deaths of his children, livestock, and servants and the development of skin sores. In the Bible, Jo...

Moses Some of you have glasses that are always half empty and have holes in them. Have you ever tried filling a cup that has a hole in it? Picture that for a minute. For some, it doesn't matter what happens in your life you are always going to take the negative and excuse way out. I know I’m filled to be emptied again There is a man in the bible who also had excuses. What did God choose to do with this man? In the Bible, Moses made five excuses when God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt: 1. I'm not good enough: Moses was content with his life as a shepherd in Midian.
