What God Wants From Me

Juggling life’s priorities can easily become complicated and complex. But the solutions we look for often cause us to spin even further out of control. In this series, Pastor Virgil takes a closer look at the essentials for a strong Christian life, including building the right friendships, involvement in the local church, developing biblical priorities and taking time to rest. And he shows us that God’s answers to life’s complexities are often simpler than we first thought—it’s all about discovering what God wants from us. 

1.  Created To Be Connected
2.  Living On A Prayer
3.  Invest, Rather Than Spend, Your Life
4.  How To Tell God You Love Him
5.  Your Greatest Show On Earth
