The Meaning of Life, Given by God. Worship: July 31, 2022

We need perspective. So often everything depends on how you look at it. From the most ancient of days searching souls have looked for the big picture that frames and clarifies how we think and feel. The writer of Ecclesiastes peels away the layers in his search: “Everything is meaningless” he says. Jesus picks it up from there: “This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.” Jesus wants us to ask him, “How could we possibly be “rich toward God”? Jesus himself is the answer to this deepest of questions. In him we are given the greatest riches of life’s meaning.
