Mattering – Northplace Church

The Quest for Meaning

Series begins August 9

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.

Jesus is in the House - Jesús Está en la Casa

Some people are stuck in the rut of the super-normal. They approach church like it’s their court ordered support group and they check in and check out with no expectations. We wouldn’t waste our life serving the local church or as Christians coming to the church on a regularly basis if we didn’t believe there was supernatural potential for life change every time we get together. Many of the people in your life, your friends, family, neighbors, peers are spiritually paralyzed or incapacitated. They may be paralyzed by fear or shame. They may be paralyzed by ignorance, they have now idea they even need him. For whatever ever reason, they are never going to come on their own, they may never meet Jesus without your loving consistent nudge. 1. Everyone will spend eternity somewhere, and one day, someone will thank for not giving up on them. 2. Don’t answer “no” for them. Don’t assume and don’t let your silence be the reason they don’t get to Jesus. 3. We are accountable for the “ask” but not responsible for the answer. It’s our job to go and give the opportunity. It’s God’s job to convict and save.
