What is your agenda? If you enter a conversation with an agenda, you have a plan for the direction of the discussion. When you receive an agenda for a meeting, it is the leader's plan for the direction of the meeting. What is your agenda -- your plan -- for your life? Does it match God's agenda? Tenth Avenue North's song, "What You Want" leads us to search out the Scripture for what God's agenda.

In fact, I take filter the search even further to seek out what brings God delight. Are you ready to go exploring?

On this episode I discuss:

  • As an only child with many father figures in my life, I often wanted to please them
  • The desire to please those we love
  • Exploring Scriptures that declare what God delights in
  • The B.I.T.E.s - Bible Interaction Tool Exercises - for the week include:
    • Exploring a topic - use this tool to help
    • Read the context
    • Remember the people in the Bible are REAL
    • Make a list
    • Pray
  • What does God NOT delight in
  • What God DOES delight in - Hosea 6:6
  • The word picture God asks Hosea to live out
  • The type of sacrifice God desires
  • Praying that God would break our heart over our own betrayal
