Notes:

Simple Ways to Enjoy God


  • We tend to think of God as isolated to church, bible studies, or worship time during church.
  • God is the creator of everything - James tells us that every good gift is from above… Do we believe the lie that life is purposeless (nihilism) or think that everything material is evil (Gnosticism)?


    • We are commanded to LOVE God & Love others.
    • Loving God includes worshiping him through our day-to-day lives - and not solely on Sunday.
    • Our actions WILL be counter-cultural.


      • Ways to enjoy God & His creation in simple ways:

      • The world around us: Nature, walks, creation & beauty.
      • Love & humanity: relationships - enjoying moments with family, friends, and your church community - there is great importance in prioritizing community.
      • Creativity: Hard work - Art, creativity, being good stewards of what God has given us, the “flow” that comes when we are working in our talents and gifts given by God.


        • Importance of creating a habit of doing what connects you to God:

        • What situations or things bring you closer to God?
        • How can you incorporate more of this into your day-to-day?
        • Are you prioritizing ways to fight culture & reroot your mind on the goodness of God?


          • Simple ideas:

          • Carving out time in the day to walk in nature.
          • Time spent in His word (podcasts, devotionals, quiet time)
          • Dedicate time each week to meet in the community or spend time with loved ones.
          • What are your gifts or talent and how can you use them to glorify God?
          • What is one thing you might need to give up that is flesh-glorifying instead of God-glorifying? (music, tv, spending, idolization)


            • Scripture reference:


            James 1:17

            Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.


            Proverbs 21:21

            Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.


            Psalm 16:11

            You make known to me the path of life; in your presence, there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.


            1 John 2:15

            Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
