The Quest for Meaning

Every person is searching for meaning.

Every person is looking for something to tell them that their life is worth something. At the core of that desire is a Biblical truth: you matter, and your life has been designed to make a difference.

As counterintuitive as it feels, the Bible teaches that mattering in this life has very little to do with what we accumulate, achieve, or acquire. Mattering happens when a person knows they are valued and knows they have value to give.

This means that the answer to our search isn't found in what we store up for ourselves — it's discovered in what we give away.

US - Courageous Faith

We are in the third week of a vital conversation for our church. In the first several weeks, we’ve learned that the culture of any organization impacts its effectiveness more than any other component. Vision, dreams, plans are either released or held captive by the culture. The culture of a church is like the soil that seeds are planted in. It is either fertile soil that grows healthy people or its toxic soil that produces dysfunctional people and dysfunctional relationships. Over the last several years we have prayed hard, worked tirelessly, and been intentional about creating a gospel-centered… life-giving culture at Northplace church. In no way is our culture perfect…because we are imperfect. But …our culture IS maturing and so are we as a people. Our pastors and elders feel like its important in this season of our church to contend for the culture the Lord has helped us build. There are several key ingredients that make up our culture. Last week, we explained what generosity means to US and how that concept of generosity impacts every dimension of our church from serving, to hospitality, to giving, to missions and beyond.
