Sunday morning 11/9/2025 “The Search for Significance” Communion with Victor Barnes

Any pastor worth his while loves the people in his church. Consequently he wants them to live forever and the good things they do to have eternal consequences. This is the will of God and a good pastor has the heart of God for his people. That is the significance every Christian should be looking for. I could have entitled this chapter “The Search for Eternal Significance” because in the long run that’s all that matters – eternal significance. If it’s not eternal then you are only building sandcastles on the beach. Some of them can be very large and impressive sculptures, but in the end they will be washed away by the tides of time and vanish forever in the ocean of nothingness. You really want to build your life on the Rock and the things He has taught us. Eternal significance is what you’re searching for.

To have eternal significance you must give your life and labors to something eternal. The only thing eternal besides God Himself is what He is building, and that is the church. Jesus stated it very clearly.  He said, “I will build My church and it will never die.” (Mt.16:18) To have eternal significance you must give your life and labors to something eternal. Jesus did that. What could be greater than sitting on the throne in heaven? Sitting on the throne in heaven with multitudes of redeemed people there with you. He gave Himself to die for them, something bigger than Himself. Please Read Phil.2:4-11.

There is a great need in every human heart for a sense of significance. To have that we must give ourselves to something bigger than ourselves. David did that when he faced Goliath. He left the mundane, the transitory concerns of day-to-day life in keeping his father’s sheep to join the battle against Israel’s enemies. Little did he know he would be launched into something much bigger than Goliath, himself and his family.

1. STRUGGLE - The Midnight Wrestling Match
Wrestling with God isn't a sign of weak faith—it's a sign of authentic faith. When life doesn't make sense, when
prayers seem unanswered, when circumstances overwhelm us, we find ourselves in an honest struggle with
God. He doesn't condemn us for wrestling; He engages with us.
What am I currently wrestling with God about? Am I fighting against God or wrestling with Him?

2. SEARCH - What Wrestling Reveals
As we wrestle, God peels back the layers to reveal what we're really clinging to. Our struggle exposes the
deeper issues: our need for control, our fears, our attempts to be our own god. This sacred search shows us
what we're desperately holding onto—and what we need to release.
What is wrestling with God revealing about me? What am I really holding onto that I need to surrender?

3. SURRENDER - The Beautiful Exchange
Surrender isn't giving up—it's giving over. It's the moment we stop trying to control outcomes and release our
grip on our own plans. We admit our desperate need and reach for God's grace. Surrender doesn't eliminate
the difficulty, but it transforms our relationship to it.
What do I need to surrender to God today? How would my life change if I truly said, "Your will, not mine"?

4. SCAR - The Sacred Mark
No one walks away from wrestling with God unchanged. The scars we carry aren't punishments—they're
testimonies. They're proof we've encountered the living God and been transformed. Our weakness becomes
our witness, our wounds become our story, reminding us daily of God's grace and our dependence on Him.
What scars do I carry? How can my scars become a testimony to encourage others?

This Week's Challenge
Find a quiet moment and tell God the truth. the real, raw truth about what you're wrestling with. Then ask Him:
"What am I really holding onto? What do I need to surrender?" Release your grip, enough to say, "Your
will, not mine." That's when the transformation begins. That's when wrestling becomes worship.

The Stories
1. Wrestling by the River - Genesis 32:24-32
2. Jesus' Story - Agony in the Garden - Luke 22:39-44, Mark 14:33-36
3. All Alone in a Strange Land
4. Wrestling in the Rose Garden

The AWE of God

A deep sense of holy awe swept over everyone, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.  (Acts 2:43, TPT)

Acts chapter two is the God-given model of all churches since then. It is the church as it should be. The closer we get to this, the more we will be like God wants us to be. We have covered many things; this is the 20th lesson in this glorious chapter. We come now to something I fear many modern churches and Christians have lost or never known anything about – a sense of astounding awe when it comes to God. In this model church they had this, and so should we.  Their experience should be our experience. This awe has four elements.

I. The Awe of His PASSION, Acts 2:23-24, 36   

The word passion has long been associated with the sufferings and death of Jesus. Peter and the apostles on this historic, precedent-setting Day of Pentecost, preached “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” The fact that the Son of God came from heaven and suffered on our behalf should put us into a deep sense of holy awe. Every preacher should be preaching the cross and that Good News should put our souls in absolute awe.  It should affect our emotions and make us enter His gates with wonder and amazement.  Behold the Lamb! All of heaven worships as they behold the Lamb of God who has taken away our sins. When the gospel is being preached we should be in awe of what we are listening to.

II. The Awe of His PRESENCE, Acts 2:1-4  

The Holy Spirit’s presence in a church should strike awe in our hearts every time we meet together. Don’t enter the church like a dog entering a library, unaware of what is there and what is going on there.  Remember what Jesus said, “When two or more are gathered in My name I am there in your midst.” (Mt.18:20)

To help with this read Hebrews 12:18-24 and see that when we come to church we are coming into such a place with such a people. We have entered the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable host of angels, to the assembly and church of the first born who are registered in heaven, where God the judge of all is, to the spirits of just men made perfect (this is present tense). We have entered into the very presence of Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to the sprinkling of His blood.
