How Well Do You Know God?

When we sit down to calculate the cost of following Jesus — when we weigh the “worst” and the “best” — he is worth it. Abundantly worth it. 

Jesus knows all his sheep by name; that is, he knows them individually and intimately. 

In the Bible, God sometimes tests his people to see how they will respond. Why does he do this if he already knows every heart? 

Though our response to God often feels frustratingly inadequate, he is worthy of all our heart, soul, and mind. He is worthy of “white-hot worship.” 

When you want God over everything else, you glorify the value of God. [removed] 

In Isaiah 58, does God condemn his people for having too much delight in his ways? Pastor John distinguishes hypocritical pleasure from true, generous joy in God.
