Walking With God

Many people wonder what it means to walk with God. Some people think it is all about worship on Sunday mornings, some believe it is all about forms and styles of worship services. Others believe it is certain forms and styles of prayers.

I would encourage you to read the gospels found in the New Testament. Jesus teaches us very clearly what walking with God is about!


First we must fall in love with Jesus, who came to this earth as a human; to live , die and be resurrected for our sake. Second we must learn to fall in love with God's Word. We need to yearn to read and gain understanding of the stories told in the written text. Third we need to learn to love one another, just as God loved us first!


    Matthew 22:36-40
    “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. ..." (NRSV)
Luke 11:28
But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!” (NRSV)

Ephesians 6:24
May grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ forever.(CEB)
    What do we learn from the generations of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!

Deuteronomy 7:9 "You know that the Lord your God is the only true God. So love him and obey his commands, and he will faithfully keep his agreement with you and your descendants for a thousand generations." (CEV)


LET'S TAKE A WALK!


Until next time,
Rev. Patti
