Start Here: Intentional Pursuit or Casual Consideration

Are we pursuing God intentionally, or are we just casually considering Him?

Jeremiah 29:13
“You will seek Me and find Me
when you seek Me with all your heart.”

Casual :

Is God Just a Concept to You?

John 14:9
“Anyone who has seen me
has seen the Father.”

Jesus shows us a God who heals, who cares, who invites sinners to dinner. He doesn’t want to be a idea; He wants to be and in our lives.

“We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him.”
-C.S. Lewis

Pursuit:

Do You Seek the God Who is Seeking You?

What does it look like to intentionally pursue God?

The way we view God shapes the way we seek Him.

Jesus didn’t just reveal God’s character; He in a way that pursued people—the lost, the broken, the rejected.

Luke 19:10
“The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost”?

Jesus shows us a God who seeks us first.

“It is when we notice the dirt that God is most present in us; it is the very sign of His presence.”
-C.S. Lewis

How Do Our Narratives  Our Pursuit?

What stories are you telling yourself about God?

The narratives we believe about God will always influence how we approach Him.

Colossians 1:15
“The Son is the image of the invisible God.”

Jesus came to correct our false narratives about God.

Be Consistent

We can’t expect to know God deeply if we only seek Him sporadically.

Look to Jesus

“Look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him, everything else thrown in.”
-C.S. Lewis

Transformation:
When we shift from casual consideration to intentional pursuit, we don’t just find God—we find .

“The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become—because He made us.”
-C.S. Lewis

Will you consider God, or will you pursue Him?

John 14:9
“Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”

“Our image of God is by the stories we believe about Him—if we see Him through the lens of Jesus, as a loving Father who us, we’ll seek Him with confidence. But if we hold onto false narratives, we’ll keep Him at a distance, missing the of who He truly is.”
