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.

Authentic Christianity - Part 2 - What Does God Want From Me?

Spiritual maturity is not measured by how well you keep a certain list of rules but by how you manage 5 key areas of relationship. In Romans 12 Paul shows the 5 relationships and the authentic Christian response in those areas. The Relationships and Responses of Authentic Christianity • Relationship with God = Surrendered • Relationship with the world’s values (culture) = Separate • Relationship with yourself = Serious in Self-Assessment • Relationship with other believers = Serving • Relationship with the “sought” = Supernatural Those 5 relationships and responses are basically an outline of the entire chapter of Romans 12. We quickly went through all of them last week. But today I want us to drill down a little bit but we are not going to get very far.
