What’s in Your Hand?

Ordinary things consecrated to God become instruments of his divine purpose

• God’s purpose requires God’s instrument

• God’s instrument requires God’s ownership

• God’s ownership requires our consecration

Where Are You?

When we lose ourselves, he finds us. To find us, he loses himself.

• Losing life by finding ourselves (Genesis 3:1-7)

• Finding out that we have lost out (Genesis 3:8-24)

• Losing himself to find us (Romans 5:12-21)

• Finding life by losing ourselves (Romans 6:1-11)

The End of the Matter

• The Caveat: Under the sun will always be insufficient

• The Caution: There is nothing better than God’s word

• The Conclusion: God alone will give you meaning in the mist

How to Be Old

• Rejoice in the life you have

• Remove all your vexation

• Remember your Creator before it’s too late

The Fulfilled Word

• Monday's Temple Clearing: Is what I bring enough?

• Thursday's Passover Makeover: Is what I do enough?

• Friday’s Torn Veil: Is who I am enough?
