CHASING CARROTS (Part 5) • "Comfort" • Barry Bandara

• This Series: What really makes for a happy life? A dream job, a bigger house, or a new relationship? If you’re always hungry for the next big thing, but frustrated because it never seems to satisfy you, you might be Chasing Carrots. It’s time to hop off the treadmill and chase after something real. This five-week series is about the things people commonly chase after that only bring fleeting happiness, fulfillment, or validation.

 

• This Week: Our culture is obsessed with the philosophy of #livingmybestlife​. The carrot that many people are striving for is the endless pursuit of comfort. This is a trivial pursuit because every person will face trials in this life. However, there is a divine comfort that is real and lasting, and it comes only from God through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

 

Key Phrase: “…those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15​
