Pastor Andrew Miller

Humans can endure incredible suffering when they know it has purpose. Athletes push their bodies for Olympic dreams. Parents work exhausting jobs for their children. Patients keep fighting for the sake of those they love. But when purpose is removed, suffering becomes unbearable.

In this message, we explore where true purpose is found and why so many of our attempts to find meaning... in family, success, pleasure, money, impact, or career, can still leave us empty. Drawing from Scripture, theology, and real-life stories, we look at God’s purposes for humanity and how aligning our lives with them gives lasting meaning.

This teaching concludes our series, What We Believe About God, focusing on God as the Gracious Finisher, the One who brings His purposes to completion. We unpack three core purposes revealed in Scripture:

God’s story of redemption

God’s promise of restoration

God’s ultimate purpose: His glory

Through passages from Exodus, Psalms, Hebrews, Revelation, and the New Testament, we see how God is redeeming people, restoring all things, and inviting us to participate in His work, both now and forever.

If you’ve ever wrestled with discouragement, confusion, or questions about your purpose, this message offers hope, clarity, and a deeper vision of what it means to live a life aligned with God’s eternal plan.
