Session #4: What’s The Meaning of Life

Week #4 June 22, 2025 Haley Carter

What’s the point of life? In this message from our series The Sessions, we explore one of the most important questions we all face: Why am I here? Looking through the lens of Genesis 1 and Matthew 22, we uncover what Scripture says about our design, the distortions we fall into, and the decision each of us faces. You’ll hear reflections on modern philosophy, cultural pressures, and personal stories—including how easy it is to make good things (like parenting or work) into ultimate things. But there’s good news: we were made to bear God’s image—to bring His goodness, truth, and beauty into the world. Jesus shows us the way, calling us to love God fully and love others deeply. This message will challenge how you think about purpose and invite you to live with eternal meaning in mind.

I’m Only Trying to Help

Week #2 June 8, 2025 Carlos Ortiz

So often, what we call “help” is actually hidden judgment. Carlos Ortiz invites us to examine the posture of our hearts: Do we approach others to love and serve—or to correct and control? Drawing from Matthew 7, Colossians 3, and Romans 13, this message challenges the knee-jerk impulse to “fix” others, and instead calls believers to Spirit-led discernment and humility. Jesus calls us not to condemnation but to connection. The measure of our maturity is not how boldly we speak, but how graciously we love. On this Pentecost Sunday, we are reminded that the Spirit empowers us not for domination, but for transformation—starting with ourselves.

Session #1: I Can’t Help Myself

(Desire & Lust) - We all chase things we think will satisfy—lust, addiction, even success. But those cravings can control us. Jesus offers freedom—not by managing temptation, but by transforming our hearts.
