Have you ever settled for less in your life?

There are few experiences more frustrating than realizing that something you chose was not as good as it could have been.  Whether it's a car, a home, or a job, we sometimes make what seems to be the easiest or most convenient choice, rather than the best choice.  Often, we end up wishing we had chosen differently.

This same concept also applies to our spiritual lives.  We lose sight of the amazing reality of life that God offers us through Jesus, and we settle for a variety of replacements that leave us wanting.  While we may intellectually believe that Jesus is all we need, we are regularly tempted to settle for less, and end up wishing we had chosen differently.

This week, we will continue in our series on First Corinthians, A Better Way, by learning how the Apostle Paul addressed a church who had settled for less.  Paul grieved for the choices that the Corinthian church were making.  In 1 Corinthians 3:16-23, he pleads with them to realize what they are missing out on.  He's pleading with us too.  I hope you can join us and think about whether you have settled for less in your relationship with Jesus.  As a church family, let's take an honest look at ourselves and pursue everything that Jesus has for us.  Don't settle for less.
