A Quest For More“ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all the things will be provided for you.” Matthew 6:33

You were created to be part of something BIG!

Have you ever wanted to invest your life in something worthwhile?

Have you ever dreamed that somehow, some way, you would be part of something truly great?

Have you ever wondered why your life seems to lack meaning or purpose?

“There is woven inside each of us a desire for something more – a craving to be part of something bigger, greater, and more profound than our meaningless existence.“

God has designed us to want . . .

Sin can cause us to talk about MORE, but settle for LESS

We are capable of fighting for what has little value while forgetting things that have transcendent values

“Therefore since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and run with endurance the race that lies before us.” Hebrews 12:1

Self is always @ the center!

God has a better way! Col. 1:13-14
