Pursuing God on the Kingdom Path The Pursuit of God by AW Tozer The Sower by Rodin and Hoag (ECFAPress, 2013) The Choice by Rodin, Hoag, and Willmer (ECFAPress, 2014)

Pursuing God on the Kingdom Path Pursuing God is the highest calling we have as believers (“Seek ye first the kingdom…” Matt 6:33) We are called to sow God’s seeds in others (I Corinthians 3:1-9). Everyone faces a choice in how they will pursue the vision that God has given them – the common path (the world’s way) or the kingdom path (God’s way). We are committed to follow the Kingdom Path - ways that are pleasing to Him. “The Kingdom Path is the only way that leads to kingdom outcomes.” (The Choice)

A Mighty Fortress When we are ransomed in glory Majesty our delight The angels sing Holy, Holy, Holy His glory fills the earth
