This lesson kicks off our 2026-2027 school year and encourages us to refocus on Christ, to love God and to love people.

Our decisions and actions have the power to shape the world we live in, and God desires the world to be a place where people are cared for and treated justly. When we realize how God has cared for us, our actions should help bring about His desires. So, we can love God with all our soul by loving the world around us because we are doing His will and loving those He loves.

When we perceive God’s love for us, we respond by loving God with all our heart, which means that we devote everything within us to Him. When we love God with all our heart, we begin to see Him more clearly, and He begins to make our hearts look more like His. As His love captivates, engages, and changes our hearts, the love we receive overflows to those around us.

It’s normal and important to wonder what our purpose is, to ask, “Why am I here?” Jesus was asked a similar question, and to answer, He quoted Deuteronomy 6:4-5, whose very first command is to hear. God’s love and presence radically transform us, but we must first hear and accept His love to pursue Him with all we are.

Ryan was out of town for week 3, so we don’t have a recording of that week’s lesson. This is the final lesson in the series and today we look at the life of Elijah in 1 Kings 17 and see that the book of James says he “was a man with a nature like ours,” and that through the power of the Holy Spirit we can be like Elijah.

A look at 2 Kings 20 and how Hezekiah prayed for his life to not end, and for God to give him 15 more years.

This series isn’t about how to pray, but about learning to trust in the God we are praying to. We know He listens, and we know that God is with us if we are in His will, He will fight for us if we are in His will and He listens when we are in His will. And to be in God’s will is to simply obey Him.

We take a look at the proper way to meditate, by focusing on the Word of God.

A look at 2 Timothy and how Paul charged Timothy to preach the gospel, and how that same charge is for us.

A look at the life of Moses and how he was dependent upon God to lead the Israelites.
