Sermon:           Where Our Life Comes From

Theme:            We are sustained by our relationship with God through Jesus, our risen Savior.

Purpose:          We will work to move from focusing on what is temporary and meaningless to drawing our strength from God’s sustaining love.

Scriptures:       Acts 17:22-31  The Apostle Paul’s message in Athens, we are all made by God and “in him we live, and move, and have our being.”

                        John 14:15-21 If we love Christ we will keep his commandments, we will not be orphaned, and because Jesus lives, we live also.

Questions: What is really important to our lives and what is meaningless distraction? What does it mean to us that God is the source of all of our lives? What difference does it make whether we align our lives with God’s power and presence or live in the distraction of worrying about the things that don’t matter? Do we have one problem – our need to know God’s presence – rather than many problems? How do we realign our minds and hearts around connecting to the source of God’s love and presence?
