Welcome to church!!
We are so excited you’re joining us for worship. Whether you’re here with us in person, or tuning in online, we believe that God has a word for you today. If this is your first time visiting, or maybe you’ve been coming for a while but haven’t taken a next step to let us know, we can’t encourage you enough to fill out Connect Card at the first time guest tent at the church entrance, or go to the Next Steps tab at the bottom of the screen in the Life Church app and fill a digital Connect Card in the Connet section. As always, never hesitate to let us know if there’s any specific way we can be praying for you!
HUNGER AND THIRST
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
Matthew 5:6 NKJV
Righteousness is… Right
For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.
Ecclesiastes 1:18 NIV
Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
Ecclesiastes 12:12 NIV
I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 NIV
So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.
Ecclesiastes 2:17-18 NIV
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless. As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owners except to feast their eyes on them?
Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 NIV
There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
Ecclesiastes 4:8 NIV
He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines…
1 Kings 11:3 NIV
The last and final word is this: Fear God. Do what he tells you. And that’s it. Eventually God will bring everything that we do out into the open and judge it according to its hidden intent, whether it’s good or evil.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 MSG
1. We’ve never experienced the
of God.
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Psalm 34:8 NIV
2. We fill up on the wrong things.
Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.
Proverbs 21:21 NIV
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.
Revelation 22:17 NLT
