Wholehearted

This message confronts us with a penetrating question: what does God actually expect from us? While we often focus on what we can expect from God—His grace, love, forgiveness, and acceptance—we rarely examine what He expects in return. The answer is both simple and challenging: 100% commitment to Jesus Christ. Through the contrast between two ancient kings, we see this truth come alive. King Amaziah did what was right in God's eyes, but the Scripture adds a devastating qualifier: 'but not wholeheartedly.' He punched the clock, checked the boxes, but his heart wasn't in it. Meanwhile, King David—flawed, broken, and sinful—was called 'a man after God's own heart' because he would 'do everything I want him to.' This isn't about perfection; it's about passion. David served others sacrificially, worshiped God with abandon, and loved being challenged to grow deeper. The sermon invites us to honest self-examination: Are we pushing against a door marked 'pull,' wondering why we're not getting the results we expect? What would we miss most if it were taken away—and does that reveal what we truly worship? The beautiful paradox is that total commitment isn't a burden but a joy, like the man who sold everything to buy the field containing treasure. When we understand what's waiting for us in God's kingdom, giving Him our whole heart becomes common sense. Chapter 1: The Question of Expectations (0:00 - 5:00) We often focus on what we can expect from God, but rarely ask what God expects from us as members of His church. Chapter 2: Two Kings, Two Hearts (5:00 - 10:00) The contrast between King Amaziah's half-hearted service and King David's wholehearted devotion illustrates the difference God desires to see in us. Chapter 3: Three Marks of Wholehearted Commitment (10:00 - 20:00) Wholehearted commitment to God is demonstrated through serving others, passionate worship, and loving to be challenged spiritually. Chapter 4: Joyful Surrender to the Treasure (20:00 - 25:00) Total commitment to God is not a burden but a joyful response to discovering the treasure of His kingdom, resulting in abundant blessings.
