Relate To God | 31 Day Challenge | Shoreline Church | Pastor Rob Koke | Sermon

Welcome to Week 3 of the 31 Day Challenge! This week, we’re focusing on the heart of our faith: **Relating to God Daily**. Christianity isn’t about religion—it’s about relationship. Let’s explore how to deepen our connection with God every single day.

✨ **Key Scriptures:**

- **John 5:39-40** – *"You study the Scriptures... yet you refuse to come to me to have life."*

- **Mark 12:30** – *"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength."*

- **Ephesians 3:17-19** – *"To grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ."*

- **1 John 4:19** – *"We love because He first loved us."*

- **Joshua 1:8** – *"Meditate on [the Word] day and night... then you will have good success."*
