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.

Better Together - Serving Together

God designed for us relationship. He meant for us to be in community with each other. Whether you are single or married, you need a spiritual family, a group of three or four or five people that you can walk through life with. This week we explored why it's better when we serve together. God did not put you on earth to live a selfish life. God didn’t put you on earth just to take up space, to breathe, have fun and die. God put you here to make the world a better place. God has a contribution He wants you to make with your life. He wants you to practice serving Him now to get ready for eternity. Remember this life is a dress rehearsal for eternity. When you get to heaven, one of the things you’re going to do there is serve God and God wants you to get some practice here on earth. How do you serve God? There’s only one way. By serving other people. You cannot serve God directly. You can only serve God by serving others. Whenever you use your talents, your time, your energy, your resources, your background, to help anybody else that’s serving them. The Bible calls that ministry.
