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.

Christmas - The Longing for Home - The Return to Eden - Week 2

This series is not what you think. The conversation about ‘home’ has nothing to do with building a better marriage or learning better parenting skills…or the many other topics that the word “home” might conjure up. It’s less about “home” and more about our “homesickness”. It’s more about that universal ache in the human soul…that longing for home… on the inside of every one of us.

From Series: "Christmas: The Longing for Home"

The promise of Advent is this: If God can wrap His son in human flesh so He can live among us…because He wants to be in relationship with us that desperately…He wants to provide for us that passionately…that same passion drives Him to break into our family, our finances, our businesses, our health…whatever situation that burdens us. We serve a God who breaks in, a God who comes and who responds.
