What It Takes To Please God?

"Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."  Hebrews 11:6

What does it take to please God?  What would you say?  Some people think that the way you please God is through ritual, that you chant certain prayers, you pray certain rituals over and over, you light some incense or you light some candles and you do some ritualistic things -- to please God.  But that's not what the Bible says. 

Some people think the way you please God is through rules and regulations, that you make a list of all the things you're supposed to do and all the things you're not supposed to do.  If you do all the things on the "Do" list and don't do all the things on the "Don't Do" list then God says you're ok.  But that's not what the Bible says. 

Some people think that the way you please God is through religion, that if you observe certain holy days or go to a bunch of religious experiences or maybe take communion and you're a religious enough person then God says "You're on my A list!"  But that's not what the Bible says.

The Bible says God isn't interested in ritual or rules or regulations or religion.  He's interested in a relationship with you.  He wants you to learn to trust Him.  The Bible says that it is impossible to please God unless you have one thing. FAITH

It is going to require faith on all our part to raise the needed funds proposed in our “Forward Faith Campaign."

I encourage everyone to participate in one of our Forward Faith Informational Desserts.
The next one is THIS THURSDAY at 7pm.

Your pastor and partner in ministry,

Kyle

P.S. Thank you to all who wished me a Happy Birthday!
