Living in a World of Fractured Image-bearers
Jun 8, 202200:43:47Tap to summarizeThe first man was created complete and placed in God’s perfectly designed world. God created man to experience fulfillment in a quality relationship with Him, aware of his value and purpose, active and creative with power, with an eternal spirit. We were made to be both physically alive and spiritually alive. God created humanity with all that was needed to be completely content. With disobedience came a fracture in our God-image. Now there was a problem. We still have God’s image, but its expression and experience have become severely distorted.

Your Eternal Spirit
Jun 1, 202200:24:22Tap to summarizeGod has been and forever will be, humanity, on the other hand, is confined by time. Our only experience involves time.

The Burden of Being Responsible
May 4, 202200:22:25Tap to summarizeOur life is filled with daily choices – too numerous to count. We choose a path, and the path leads to a result. The result is the consequence of the decision we have made. It is our choice – select the road leading to life or the road leading to death. The decision is your responsibility.

Your Value
Apr 27, 202200:33:53Tap to summarizeWhat is the meaning of life? Why am I here? What is the purpose of my existence? We all struggle with the burden of meaninglessness. The struggle with meaning is a cry about our perceived value. The battle to find meaning is the battle to find worth.

The Burden of Meaninglessness
Apr 20, 202200:25:29Tap to summarizeHour after hour, day after day, we work our fingers to the bone to feed our hunger. A hunger that never seems to be satisfied. We end up exhausted and unfulfilled. We struggle to find meaning in who we are and what we do. We strive to find meaning, and in the process, lose contact with our value.

Made for Relationship
Apr 13, 202200:30:20Tap to summarizeGod’s completed creation was “very good.” Isolation is a heavy weight, and God did not create humans with the intent of carrying that weight. The experience of separation from God and our fellow man was not part of God's creation plan for humans.
