WHAT IS THE MEANING AND PURPOSE OF LIFE?

Long ago, most people in our culture believed what the Bible teaches about life, even if they were not "Christians". Today that is no longer the case. Our pluralistic, postmodern society tells us there is no real purpose to our lives, therefore assigning any meaning to life comes down to the meaning each person gives it. Life is whatever you want it to be.  But ideas have consequences. The most recent cultural shift regarding the origins of human life, when human life begins, and the nature of marriage are the result of such ideas coming home to roost. Sadly, many Christians are being swept up in the cultural current as well.

This is why, starting in September, we will be going back to the beginning . The first few chapters of Genesis describe the very basics of human life and its purpose. We will study what Genesis teaches about God's design for marriage, work, the family, rest and many others to demonstrate that the ideologies gaining in popularity today are way outside of God's design. We will also look at how to engage the culture on these issues in a truthful and gracious manner.

Invitation cards will be made available for this series. We will also pick a Saturday to hand them out to folks in the parking lots of the local stores nearby.

Please be in prayer for this series to make a difference in our lives and in the community.
