This weekend we begin our journey with Explore God. What is Explore God? Why are we spending the next 7 weeks on this idea of answering the 7 most commonly asked questions about God?
Basically, Explore God creates credible content for people with spiritual questions and curiosities to come together in community and seek God together. Exploration is at the core of the human condition. We're made to be curious, and we're made to connect in some way with the creator of all this. The question is: who is the creator, and how can we connect?
We all come from different backgrounds and traditions. We all have some sort of “bent” towards understanding who God is in their lives, or maybe not. I invite us to journey together as we allow these great questions to drive us to know who God is in our lives.
This week the topic is “Does Life Have a Purpose?” and our theme in our worship set is based around a proclamation and confession of who God is through the truth of God’s Word. It comes from a song we have sung many times in worship called “Great Great God”. Read the words to this amazing song about who God is. Listen as you read for key words about God like LIFE, SALVATION, RESTORATION, GRACE, KINGDOM, FREEDOM, LIGHT, YOU REIGN, VICTORIOUS, LIMITLESS - THERE IS NO ONE LIKE OUR GOD!!

Lyrics to Great Great God:
Verse 1:
Your cross gave life, hope and salvation
Full restoration, promise for all
Your grace has made us part of Your kingdom
Living in freedom as heirs with Your Son
Pre-Chorus:
Jesus, Your name is a light, now Your redemption draws into our lives
Strong in battle, You overcame and the victory's ours, now we sing
Chorus:
Great, great, there is no one like our God
Great, great, there is no one like our God
Verse 2:
Our walls fall down, strongholds are broken
Eternity's spoken, righteous we stand
The church will rise, declaring Your kingdom
Shouting for freedom, the Blood of the Lamb
Bridge:
You reign in all the earth
You reign victorious
Your power is limitless
There is no one like our God
Tag:
There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
Jesus states in Matthew 7:7, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Discovering our purpose is one of the most important endeavors in life. If what Jesus says is true, then if we simply ask, seek, and knock, God will meet us wherever we are and address our heart’s desire. Question for you today - what is your heart's’ desire? What do you crave and long for? What is your purpose for living life today? What drives you to be who you are?
