Sermon Series: "A.S.K."

"Ask. Seek. Knock. A Prayerful Life"

Message: 

"When You Find What You are Looking For"

Scripture: Matthew 6:33; 7:7-8

When You Find What You Are Looking For

You broke the bonds

and you loosened the chains

carried the cross of my shame, of my shame

You know I believe it                                                                                                                                         

But I still haven’t found

What I’m looking for

But I still haven’t found

What I’m looking for

For about 20 years now, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” has been my go-to song. I am not sure why it took that long as it was released as part of The Joshua Tree album back in 1987. But at some point in time, it sunk deep into my soul. Some people have been challenged by the fact that of all songs, my song would be one with that title. But as a U2 fan, I know it comes from a place of more belief than doubt…more faith than the absence of faith.

Therefore, it naturally came to mind as I have been working on a message dealing with “seeking” and “searching”. All of that has brought this thought/question to mind: what is it that we are searching for? I say “we” as I think most of us can echo those words of Bono…”You know I believe it” when it comes to what Christ did for us on the Cross. And yet, we still seek – we still search.

This week, we will explore the second part of Matthew 7:7-8 as we look into those words “Seek/Search and you will find”. And honestly, I have found it has been the seeking and searching that has driven me closer to God time and time again.  

So join us this Sunday (sorry…still online only) as we continue in the A.S.K. series with a message on When You Find What You Are Looking For. In the meantime, keep seeking and searching. And eventually, we will find what we are looking for!

See you Sunday…sort of…
