Series
This series is about finding fulfillment, and we look for at in alot of places: relationships, work, education, wealth.
These can provide temporary satisfaction, or the wrong kind of satisfaction, but we find our true fulfillment - our true satisfaction in God.
When I was a teenager, I had a love hate relationship with God.
There was the God who was powerful, the God who was angry, and the God who punished.
He was a cosmic kill joy, and really didn’t bring anything to my life except maybe a little fire insurance for when I die.
Alot of the change in my life has been from reading the Bible.
I want you to see one of the passages that changed my life:
back to fulfillment
Jesus to me wasn’t the way, he was in the way.
Here the Word of the Lord this morning.

I’m not good at this - maybe this isn’t what I’m supposed to do - not finding fulfillment in this
We do not exist for our own sake, but for the sake of the world

Series is about living according to God’s plan
The Bible makes clear again and again that when we don’t live according to God’s plan and purpose, we don’t just disappoint God.
If we are working against God it can be painful.
As a pastor if I am talking with someone about their pain, this is not the first thing I say: you’re feeling depressed?
You’re not following God’s will.
Acts 26:14
A goad was a sharp-pointed stick used to move animals in a particular direction
finding our purpose in God:

finding our purpose in God:
weddings: no other ties more sacred than those you now assume - the most important relationship you will have - neglect that and your marriage is in trouble:
the most sacred ties you have is with God: neglect that relationship and you will suffer: pain, lack of fulfillment
our primary commitment, relationship is with God
Sermon Intro
today’s sermon is about the starting point to all of this: the foundation, the building block to finding your fulfillment in God, by following God’s plan for your life: it’s about salvation
Sin?
The problem is when we don’t understand the problem.
We can’t appreciate the cure if we don’t see the illness.
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
We can’t appreciate forgiveness if we think we haven’t done anything wrong.
not going to be a sermon about an important topic like being busy, relationships, managing money, raising a family and forgiving others.
It’s about something even more important than these things.
Salvation is something that provides a foundation for all of these.
beneath our pain there is a spiritual root; beneath our problems, there is a spiritual problem; beneath our error and confusion there is a lack of spiritual knowledge
We don’t accept the help if we don’t think we need it.
