The Village Church - Sermons

You are not the main character in this story, but you have a vital role to play. There are no seat fillers at the table of God. He has given us a purpose and a part to play. He does not need us, but He wants us. So we show up, seated confidently, and live out the calling on our lives.

God is involved in the “where” of our lives. He has appointed the times and boundaries for us all. There is a reason we live where we live and work where we work. He built us to belong and has called us to a place.

In 2023, the Surgeon General of the United States rolled out a new warning saying that if major changes are not made, we will splinter as a society. The loneliness epidemic is now upon us. We need each other more than ever. God made us for belonging.

Night will be no more; people will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light, and they will reign forever and ever.

We are born with the need to be loved—a need we never outgrow. We either seek to satisfy that need rightly, or we distort it disastrously. The advent of Christ is true, perfect, sustaining love coming for all people.
