“What God Wants From Us”: video and audio sermons, and sermon series guides, for this series from Trinity Methodist Church, Linden
What God Wants From Us
5 October to 23 November 2025
A “What God Wants From Us” sermon series can explore various aspects of God’s desires for humanity, including love, faith, obedience, and living a life that reflects His will. It can delve into themes of justice, kindness, humility, and the importance of trusting in God’s plan. Ultimately, such a series aims to guide individuals toward a deeper understanding of God’s purpose for their lives and how to align their actions with His desires.
Thomas A. Tarrants from the C.S. Institute wrote:
“Have you ever wondered what God wants from you? I don’t mean wondering for a few minutes and then coming up with a quick list of do’s and don’ts like go to church, give money, read the Bible, pray, do good works, help the needy, and don’t commit any of the really bad sins like adultery or murder.
No, I mean seriously and prayerfully seeking God, and asking, “What do You want of me? How do I live the new life You have given me? How do I please and serve You?”
This is one of the most important questions a believer can ask after coming to salvation”
The “What’s Your Story?” sermon series surely triggered, inspired and provoked us to demonstrate love and perform good deeds.
I hope the series “What God Wants For Us” will help us move towards the goals God has for us, namely: To be transformed into Jesus’ image.
