Sermon: Introduction (He's Enough series)

There are no shortages of activities, assets, and privileges that this world will try to tell you will make you feel happy, wanted, and loved.  The world loves throwing "things" at us and trying to convince us that those "things" will satisfy our souls.  All you need is the right social group; all you need is the right financial purpose; all you need is the right political cause.  Missing in all of this is a realization that the holes in our hearts are God-shaped and can only be filled by one thing... God.  It can all be summed up in one phrase: He's enough.  He's enough for our wants, He's enough for our needs.  He's enough for our humbling, He's enough for our salvation.  He's enough for anything and everything our hearts could desire.  If we have Him, how could we want for anything else? This is the introductory message to our sermon series "He's Enough" where we will focus on what it means to prioritize God above all.  Solomon had everything this world could have to offer but ultimately he decried all of these things as "meaningless".  In Ecclesiastes we learn that all the pursuits of this world eventually fade and waste away and for that reason, there is only one thing that should occupy our hearts and minds: the goodness of our God.  Prioritize God above all other things, and THEN we can find true contentment and peace regardless of the blessings or trials we face.
