Goals!

What's your number one goal in life?  Success?  Winning?  Getting ahead at work?  Finding happiness at home?  All of these goals are good, but how do we accomplish them?  So many people spend their lives striving after the mirage of success or happiness only to find that the oasis in the dessert isn't there when they arrive.  So what's the key?

Paul gives us some insight into true happiness in the book of Philippians when he reveals the greatest goal of his life -- to know God through Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:10).  Paul understood that a God-centered life was the key to a truly great life.  If you want to turn your successful life into a significant life, you must not only be willing to walk with God, you must make it your goal.

Walking with God requires sacrifice and self-denial.  It was Jesus who said, "If you want to save your life, you must lose it . . ." (Mark 8:35)  What sacrifices are you willing to make to build a significant life, a happy home, or a satisfying career?

Join us Sunday as we strive to become everything God has designed us to be!  See you at the ARC.  Pastor Tom
