Living on purpose is the path to peace.
“You, LORD, give perfect peace to those

How to Tell God You
Love Him
Message to Hear
People are involved in many kinds of love affairs—
money, career, cars, houses, and self. This chapter
will teach us how to focus on our one true love: our
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Chapter Summary
In Chapter 13, we’re talking about worship that
pleases God. And the kind of worship that pleases
God has nothing to do with the style of worship. The
Bible says that there are two qualifications for
worship that is pleasing to God. Those that worship
God, must worship him in spirit and in truth.

God is real, no matter how I feel.

you; I will never abandon you.’ ”

feels like you go through a dry spell. Did you know
that sometimes, God actually removes the feelings in
order for you to learn to trust him by faith, rather than
by your feelings?

for God’s family. You were formed for his family.
What does that mean? It means that God doesn’t

others? Listen as we continue to study what it
means to be spiritually connected and the impact it
can have in your life.
Chapter Summary
What does it mean to build quality relationships?
God meant for us to go through this journey of life
together. God uses relationships as the second
way to build Christ-like character in your life.

Community requires commitment.
“We understand what love is when we
realize that Christ gave his life for us.
That means we must give our lives for
other believers.”
