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.

The God-First Life - A New Family

The series we started last week is an excellent resource for those of you who are new to faith or returning to faith. It’s also an excellent reminder to the rest of us of some foundational principles that we tend to forget. We framed the conversation around four main thoughts from Stovall Weem’s book titled The God First Life…Uncomplicate Your Life God’s Way. Today and over the next couple weeks I’m going to interweave Stovall’s insights from the book with my own thoughts and ideas and attempt to give you some practical biblical insight on structuring your life around God’s ways…God’s priorties…God’s kingdom This entire series is anchored in this statement of Jesus: Matthew 6:33 NIV 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Last week we jumped into the God First Life series by talking about our New Priority. We talk about doing life God’s way. When you live your life structured around God’s order…His priorities…blessing flows. When you align your life around God’s ways…life functions as it was meant to. Today, we talk about the amazing privilege of being adopted into God’s family. Listen to what Paul has to say about it: Ephesians 3:13 and 19 NIV 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
