blessed: living a life God blesses

Everyone wants to live a life that God blesses. But what does that really mean? Too often, we mistake blessing for comfort, wealth, or success. In Scripture, God’s blessing is about His presence, His favor, and His purpose flowing through our lives — no matter our circumstances.

In this four-week series, we’ll explore four postures of the heart that invite God’s blessing and reflect His nature: humility, obedience, generosity, and gratitude.

A Heart God Can Bless [Part 1]

Blessed. It seems to be the new catchword. You see it and hear it all the time. And while Scripture does tell us that every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father, I wonder if somehow we've misunderstood what it means to be 'blessed.'

Over the next four weeks, we're going to unpack what it means to live a life that God blesses. Because being blessed is about more than good circumstances, good fortune, or good deals on more stuff. In fact, blessing isn't necessarily about any of those things at all!

When Love Says Yes [Part 2]

"Children, obey your parents in all things; for this is well pleasing unto the Lord." Colossians 3:20

It was one of the first verses I memorized as a child. And it was quoted often around our house, with emphasis on the word 'obey.' I know the intention was good, but somehow the message my young heart received was more about performance and perfection. But obedience isn't merely about following rules, it's about building relationship and trust; about learning to live in step with God and His design for our lives.

This is week two of our series, BLESSED: Living a Life God Blesses. Throughout this series, we're looking at four postures of the heart that invite God's blessing in our lives and reflect His nature through our lives. This week we're looking at the posture of obedience.

A Generous Heart [Part 3]

We are in week three of our series, BLESSED: Living a Life God Blesses. Throughout this series, we're looking at four postures of the heart that invite God's blessing in our lives and reflect His nature through our lives. This week we're looking at the posture of generosity. Sharing doesn't come naturally - it has to be taught. But as we'll discover God's blessing in our lives was never intended to just be for us, but to be for others, through us.
