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.

Terminal - Leave Boldly

Over the last couple of weeks, we have intentionally played off of the double meaning of the word “terminal”. Everything has been set up to feel like an airport terminal…to help you understand that this earthly life is temporary…transitory…We are trying to make you aware that you are about to board a flight. In a way, life is like an airport terminal. Based on the decisions you make here, you decide what gate your going to depart from…you decide what journey your going to take in the after you die. In these moments together we are trying to address the reality that nobody wants to talk about. We are all “terminal”. No matter how you slice it, this life is going to end…for all us…every…last…one…of…us. As we said last week… The most significant marking any tombstone is not the dates but the dash. The date you’re born or the date you die is less important than how much life was in your living. The only thing that will really matter after you’re gone is how you used your dash.
