Discussion Guide | Oct. 13, 2024

This week's sermon challenges us to reconsider how we approach God, urging us to seek Him for who He is rather than for what He can provide. Pastor Lisa emphasized the importance of understanding God's attributes and seeking a personal relationship with Him. By wonders of creation like the hummingbird, we can see God's intricate design and creativity, which should inspire us to pursue Him wholeheartedly. The sermon also highlighted the biblical call to seek God with all our heart, promising that when we do, we will find Him and experience His blessings and presence in our lives.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with open hearts, ready to receive what You have for us today. Help us to seek You for who You are, to understand Your nature, and to grow closer to You. May our time together be filled with Your presence and guidance. Amen.
