Latest Sermon

Eric Huffman Jan 17, 2021 Your Story | God’s Glory: Pursuing the Purpose of Life (Part 3) They say, “Life is short,” but what’s that supposed to mean? Life is short, so don’t screw it up? Life is short, so have fun while you can? Life is short, so work hard because the clock is ticking? Life is short, so...what? Every day we’re under immense pressure to figure out what matters in life, and to chase after it with all we’ve got. When we were kids, most of us chased after good grades - or at least passing grades - just to get into college. Then most of us went to college and passed our classes just to land a good job or to get into grad school. Later we found jobs, and we’ve been working hard to make our mark. No matter how hard we work, though, we can’t fight the feeling that something’s missing. We’ve tried filling the void with adventure, entertainment, and relationships - some of us even got married and had kids, but the restless search for lasting satisfaction continues. What if the reason that nothing on earth ever really satisfies you is that you were made for something beyond this earth? What if your life’s purpose is hidden in the heart of God, who made you on purpose? What if you were meant to be? At The Story Church we believe everything on earth finds its purpose in God (Colossians 1:16), and you are no exception.

We were all horrified and sickened by yesterday's

We were all horrified and sickened by yesterday's violent insurrection that unfolded before our eyes in Washington, DC. The actions of the rioters who stormed the capitol building were utterly reprehensible; there is simply no excuse for such recklessness. Please join me in prayer for the families of those who lost their lives in the riot, and join me in thanking God for the police officers and other first responders who, while unprepared and outnumbered, responded with courage and restraint.

John Wesley said, "Peacemakers endeavor to calm men’s stormy spirits, quiet men’s turbulent passions, soften the minds of contending parties, and if possible to reconcile them. They employ all the strength and talents God gives them to preserve peace where it is and restore it where it isn’t."

Stormy spirits and turbulent passions were on full display yesterday, and I know our first instinct is to ostracize and criticize such brazen foolishness. While I believe the protesters who broke the law should be held accountable, and while I admonish their actions with every fiber of my being, I'm here to offer a challenge to followers of Jesus Christ.

The people who stormed the capitol building are human beings, created in God's image, and intrinsically worthy of dignity and respect. Their actions were dangerous and sinful, but not surprising. Having grown up in a deep-south town of 300 people, I feel like I know the folks we've been watching on TV. I grew up with them. They are my childhood friends, my family, and my classmates.

We witnessed an eruption yesterday, but the volcanic conditions have been intensifying beneath the surface for decades across rural America. There are few, if any, jobs in and around most small towns. Country folks have felt despised and forsaken by their government, their politicians, their denominations, and the mainstream media. The opioid crisis has decimated two generations of mostly rural kids and young adults.
