Thrive | Part 4

Kia ora Agora,
We are in the middle of our sermon series How to Thrive in Life designed to help us face the struggles of life in light of the truths of scripture.
Last time we focused on how we are so fully known by God, and how we are treasured and valued by Him despite what we might have done.

As Christ followers, our thriving in life depends on God being more than a concept that is fitted in alongside our existing beliefs and activities. He has to become our ultimate reality, overtaking all other aspects of who we are and what we do. Unless God is our ultimate reality, we can forget about a life of lasting peace, fulfilment, and joy. 
Today we look at what the Word shows us about this and see one of the main obstructions to thriving with the reality of God in our lives.
