March Possibilities

What is the meaning of Life? 
When you sit and kick this one around for awhile, as I'm sure most of us have, what have you come up with? I find that it depends on your perspective and what you believe in. According to King Solomon in the beginning chapter of Ecclesiastes, it is meaningless.  All is vanity. But after much contemplation Solomon ends the book of Ecclesiastes with these words:

"Now all has been heard;
    here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
    for this is the duty of all mankind.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
    including every hidden thing,
    whether it is good or evil."

Jesus tells us to Love God and to love others as we love ourselves. We learn in Genesis that God created us in His own image and He gave us dominion over all the things of this earth. 
Maybe the best way to find the meaning of this life is to "give our life meaning!"

Come dream with me this Sunday as we start a journey on possibilities for your life, for our church, for your family.
