Summary

Dear St. Andrews Family,What do you long for? What excites you? You can probably come up with an answer or two for that, right? Hitting that ski jump at 30 miles an hour excites me. Getting that mischievous glance from your spouse across the room? Anticipating finally getting that vacation to Bermuda? Let me change the question for a moment. Not what do you long for or what excites you, but what motivates your every move? Is there is even one thing? Family? Wealth? Happiness? All good motivators I think. Hebrews 11 implies that the great people of the past longed for one thing: a better country—a heavenly one. Do you long for heaven? Let’s talk about that this week. I want to inspire, encourage, and excite you about our mission and our future.Pastor Jace

Episode Description

Dear St. Andrews Family,

What do you long for? What excites you? You can probably come up with an answer or two for that, right? Hitting that ski jump at 30 miles an hour excites me. Getting that mischievous glance from your spouse across the room? Anticipating finally getting that vacation to Bermuda?

Let me change the question for a moment. Not what do you long for or what excites you, but what motivates your every move? Is there is even one thing? Family? Wealth? Happiness? All good motivators I think. Hebrews 11 implies that the great people of the past longed for one thing: a better country—a heavenly one. Do you long for heaven? Let’s talk about that this week. I want to inspire, encourage, and excite you about our mission and our future.
