Eight Things That Really Matter to God

Psalm 44:1-12

1. Trust

What do you place your trust in? It is vital to put your trust in the right place.

Luke 13:31-14:14

2. Courage

Do you find that you sometimes take decisions based on fear?

3. Compassion

Is your heart moved by the people you come across?

4. Humility

Do you worry about your status compared to others? Jesus speaks about humility. He tells us to ‘take the lowest place’ (14:10).

5. Poverty

Are you tempted to spend time with people of influence and wealth who will be able to pay you back?

Deuteronomy 15:1-16:20

6. Generosity

Do you ever find yourself being a little mean or penny-pinching? The principle of generosity runs throughout the Bible. Don’t be ‘hard-hearted’ (15:7) when you see poverty and need.

7. Remembrance

Do you easily forget what God has done for you? The people of God were called to ‘Remember that you were slaves in Egypt’ (v.15; 16:12).

8. Justice

Do you care about justice? Justice is of high value to God. Honesty matters to God.
