Meaningful Life Is Really Found in the Small Things
It doesn't matter how old we are or what kind of work we do, we've all wondered at times, "Does my life really matter?" Do the everyday events and messy moments make any kind of difference? Is it okay to be fulfilled by the simple acts of raising kids, working in an office, and cooking chicken for dinner?
The million little pieces that make a life aren't necessarily glamorous or far-reaching. But God uses some of the smallest, most ordinary acts of faithfulness--and sometimes they look a whole lot like packing lunch.
In this six-week Bible study you'll look at some popular and famous Bible stories and study them with new perspective...
... And discover that you can embrace what it means to live an abundant and incredibly meaningful life finding beauty and laughter in all the small things!
Meet Your Teacher
Our life is full of small moments and small wonders that God is using in such a big way. And I think the small moments in our lives are no less holy than the big ones. Maybe it’s the small moments that are even more holy, because those are the million little pieces of our lives that God uses to make a difference right where we are.
