From Distracted to Devoted
Everything wants our attention. Our lives are filled with things that allow us to not be focused on what’s really important.

We tend to look at our situation, people in our lives, or circumstances and limit what we think God can do. God wants us to believe we are not limited but always blessed because of His love for us! This is the story of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz!
How often have you felt that your life was in an impossible situation? When we believe we are loved by God, there are no impossible situations only opportunities for God to move!
You are the one God loves the most and when we come to realize that we learn to expect his blessings. Boaz is a type of Christ for Ruth and Naomi. He sees them, loves them and wants them to receive his blessings!
Even when things look their worst. Even when we or others around us have made bad decisions that impact us. If we choose to trust God’s love, goodness, and faithfulness, we will see his blessing!
God wants you to have real relationships with real people who will love you, have your back, see you, really connect with you. He wants you to enjoy the world he created just for you.
Love is the real fruit that comes from remaining in the vine. It is revealed in everything we do and the way we live. Our freedom is dependent on it
Being connected to Jesus not only gives us life, but it also empowers us to bear fruit in our lives. Our main idea today is that when we are connected to Jesus, we naturally bear fruit, and His Word comes alive within us. Let’s take another look at John 15:1-8, where Jesus describes Himself as the true vine and us as the branches.
As we make his word alive in us, we know Him and his heart so as we pray our prayers are answered because we know his heart and his word lives in us and through us so there is an expectation of answered prayer
We often battle. Does God really love me? Does he see me? Does he know me? The answer to all of those questions is “Yes,” and these verses tell us that! Before you thought of or had any knowledge of God, he knew you and chose you to be exactly what he called you to be through every gift, skill, talent, and personality to bring him great pleasure
