As Pascal points out, the human heart carries a God-shaped hole. Nothing will satisfy. It will never be enough. In "The Quest for More," Pastor Felipe Assis of Crossbridge Church shows us that any attempt to find happiness apart from God is a huge setup for major disappointment. In the end, we will all be crushed by the expectations. God has put eternity in man’s heart to remind him that only He can give us what our heart truly needs.

Life is filled with big unanswered questions. Can we find answers to the big questions of life? Not if our vantage point is life under the sun. There’s hope in a relationship with the Creator. A relationship with the Creator is based on trust which allows us to navigate the unknowns because even though we don’t know, we can be sure that he knows.

Solomon now turns to work for meaning and as a result, all he experiences is weariness. The Gospel provides the rest beneath the work that we need in order to thrive and to fulfill our life’s calling. Christians don’t work for rest, they work from rest.

Solomon now turns to pleasure to find happiness because he’s found that there’s nothing bigger to live for. He doesn’t deprive himself of any pleasures yet finds himself as unhappy as he was at the beginning of his quest. Only by gazing in the beauty of God can one’s heart’s longings be satisfied (3:11). The beauty of God presents itself in its clearest form in the Gospel.

Life is short, cyclical, and repetitive. How can we escape its boredom? The book of Ecclesiastes raises questions, where the rest of the Bible provides the answers. In the prologue, we learn that the meaning of life is found not in an idea or a principle but in a person.

Paul writes to a fractured church in Rome with the hopes of bringing unity to the church around the essential message of christianity -- the gospel. In Paul’s mind, if they could agree on the gospel and unity could be reached, the church in Rome could bear a great impact in the world of his days. The church in America is fractured and polarized. It even lacks agreement on what the gospel actually is. Our hope through this expository summer series is to clarify and to seek alignment into the message that Paul says is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.
