The Connecting Question | Bishop Dale C. Bronner

About this sermon

When Jesus turned to two of John's disciples and asked, "What do you want?" (John 1:35-38), He wasn't making small talk — He was asking the question His ministry returns to again and again. In this message, we look at how God's questions throughout Scripture — to Adam, Cain, Moses, Hagar, Jacob, Elijah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and eventually blind Bartimaeus and the ambitious disciples James and John — were never about giving God information. They were about exposing what we actually want, because genuine spiritual transformation doesn't begin with what we believe, but with what we want. You'll learn: Why God's questions in Scripture are never about His need for information, but about redirecting ours Why chemistry and comfort aren't reliable guides for the decisions that shape your future What blind Bartimaeus's laser-focused request teaches about naming what you actually want from God Why "you become what you behold" and what that means for what you let inform you How to trust God through a season that feels permanent but isn't 📖 Scriptures referenced: John 1:35-38 (NLT) · Genesis 3:9 · Genesis 4:6 · Exodus 4:2 · Genesis 16:8 · 1 Kings 19:9 · Ezekiel 37:3 · Mark 10:46-51 · Mark 10:35-40 · 2 Corinthians 3:18 · Romans 1:25 · Psalm 42:1-2 · Philippians 3:8-11 · Proverbs 3:5-6 · Romans 10:17 🔔 Subscribe for weekly messages, and share this with someone who needs a word today. 🌐 Website: www.woffamily.org 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @woffamily 📘 Facebook: @woffamily To support the ministry: Online: www.woffamily.org/give Text: Text "WOF" to 73256 Mail In: Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral - 212 Riverside Pkwy, Austell, GA 30168 Sunday Services: In person 8:30 AM & 11:00 AM / Online @ 6:00 PM Church Address: 212 Riverside Pkwy Austell, GA 30168
