Blessed. It seems to be the new catchword. You see it and hear it all the time. And while Scripture does tell us that every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father, I wonder if somehow we've misunderstood what it means to be 'blessed.' Over the next four weeks, we're going to unpack what it means to live a life that God blesses. Because being blessed is about more than good circumstances, good fortune, or good deals on more stuff. In fact, blessing isn't necessarily about any of those things at all! You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel.

Being thirsty is a signal; it's your body's way of telling your brain that you need water. Water is essential for over a dozen major bodily functions - essential processes that keep your body breathing, moving, and functioning properly. Your body is designed to require water. Over the past couple of months, we've been looking at a different - and equally essential - thirst that we experience as humans... soul thirst. God designed our souls to thirst for Him. Every decision we make, every action we take, every thought we think or word we speak is intended to be inhabited by His presence. To ensure that we would seek Him as our source for life, He infused us with deep longings; our souls are designed to be filled by Him. And as we are filled, we are able to pour out into the lives of others... freely, generously, spontaneously, joyfully.

"Back in the old days..." These days, I'm becoming one of those who grew up in the old days! In the 'old days' we rode around town in the bed of grandpa's truck, rode our bikes, scooters, and skateboards with no helmets, elbow or knee pads; we drank right out of the garden hose, and went on family road trips without even thinking about wearing a seat belt. Those things and so many more would be considered 'unsafe' or even illegal today! We are a culture that has become obsessed with safety. We deadbolt our doors, have locks on our mailboxes, and cameras on every corner. But try as we might to ensure our own security, nothing is absolutely foolproof. And yet, we long to know that everything is going to be okay; that we are safe. Come join us this Sunday at 11 AM as we unpack what God's Word says about security. We are wired by God to desire safety. But the kind of security He offers is a whole different kind. One that can't be hacked, never needs to be updated, and will never fail. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person! Enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in the Lobby before the service. We would love to connect with you! We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on-demand, so you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule. I hope we see you this Sunday!

According to dictionary.com, the definition of 'significance' is the quality of being worthy of attention. Every person is imbued with a God-given thirst for significance. We long to know that not only are we worthy of attention, but that we have purpose, we make a difference, that we matter. Our culture tells us that popularity and influence are the measuring sticks by which our worthiness is assessed. But the Bible tells us that our worth was established before we even had a name. That our purpose was ordained by God before we took our first breath. Significance isn't something you earn; it's something you already have.

"I can't get no satisfaction. Gonna try and I try and I try..." Those lyrics were written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards back in 1965. And from what little I know about their lives, I'm not sure they ever found it. There is a hunger in the soul of every person that demands to be satisfied. And there are a myriad of options that humanity has used to attempt to fill the void. It might be food, shopping, adrenaline, busyness, or any number of other things. But our satisfaction strategy is faulty. Because we're not really hungry for a what... what the soul longs for is a Who. And only He will ever completely, fully, utterly satisfy that hunger within.

I love a good jigsaw puzzle. It's a different kind of challenge for my brain -- which I find both fun and relaxing. But have you ever heard of a Shmuzzle? It's a jigsaw puzzle of a whole 'nother kind. It's one of those puzzles where every piece is the same basic shape. So there are endless ways the pieces can fit together, but just because you can make a piece fit, doesn't mean it belongs there! A shmuzzle is neither fun or relaxing... at least not for me! Have you ever considered the difference between 'fitting in' and belonging? We'll unpack that difference in our series, Identity Crisis: Becoming Who We Are Together In Christ this Sunday. We all long to belong. But often we settle for just fitting in, which never truly satisfies our souls. Understanding the belonging that is ours in God's family can free you from the pressure to 'fit in.' There's no need to force it - you already have a seat at the table.

We're in the middle of a sermon series we've titled, Identity Crisis: Becoming Who We Are, Together In Christ. We're exploring the God-given longings we all experience and how those longings can truly be satisfied -- in intimate relationship with Jesus, and within the context of healthy community. We've already talked about the longing for attention and affection; this week, we'll look at the need for affirmation. You might think that affirmation is just another word for encouragement. But it's actually very different. To encourage someone is to cheer them on - to give them courage to keep going. But affirmation goes beyond that - it helps another see beneath their doing and catch a glimpse of their becoming. Affirmation says, "This is how I see Jesus in you." Come join us this Sunday at 11 AM. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connecting with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person! Enjoy coffee, cookies, and conversation in the Lobby before the service. We would love to connect with you! We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on demand, so you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule. I hope you'll join us this Sunday!

This is week two of our new sermon series, Identity Crisis: Becoming Who We Are, Together In Christ. We're exploring the God-given longings we all experience and how, in intimate relationship with Jesus, and in the context of healthy community, those longings can be most deeply and fully met. This week we'll look at the longing for affection. We often think of affection as physical attention... hugging, hand-holding, a pat on the back. But real affection is so much deeper than being "touchy-feely." To have affection toward someone is to set your heart and mind on being for another. To care with intention and love without condition. God has set His affections on us; He delights in who we are, just because we are His. And we are called to do the same for one another.
