God is all about Connecting

We were created for God. Our very purpose for existing is to have a relationship with the Lord. “You (God) created everything, and it is for your pleasure that they exist and were created” Rev. 4:11 (NLT). The problem is most people do not have a relationship with Him. People need to be connected to God. Connecting Points is the process that we use to connect people with God. This is what God is passionate about. He desires to connect with people more than anything else. God makes His passionate desire known in Hosea 6:6. Here He cries out through the prophet: “I don’t want your sacrifices – I want your love! I don’t want your offerings – I want you to know me!”(LB). Do you hear His cry? “I want you to know me!” That is what He wanted then and that is what He wants now. God wants to connect with people. That is what we will say to the people in our community. God wants you to know Him. This is God’s number one priority. “He is a God who is passionate about His relationship with you” Exodus 34:14 (NLT). God is not interested in just a casual acquaintance. He wants a relationship. This is what Calvary is all about. God sent His Son to pay a heavy price that we might know Him personally and intimately. It was His plan from the beginning of time and it is still His plan today. The reason Connecting Points is so important is that the priority is building an atmosphere where people can become connected with God. God wants to connect with His people.
