Why God Doesn’t Just Give Us What We Want

The Christian faith is not about wanting something from God and believing that He’ll give it to you. God is not some magical genie we can send our wishes to, and then sit back and wait for Him to deliver. That drastically minimizes who God really is, while wrongly emphasizing the things we really want. A relationship with Christ is much deeper than our surface desires. And in this clip from our series, Greater, Pastor Steven explains how faith isn’t the fast track to the easy life, but instead is rooted in a steadfast, obedient spirit that believes God is good even in the face of uncertain circumstances.
