Fullness of life comes by seeking the approval of God rather than the approval of others. (Due to technical problems, several minutes at the beginning and in the middle of this message were not recorded.)
Only in God himself and in God working through the community of people empowered by his Spirit will we find the connection and intimacy we were made for.
We are tempted to look to possessions to protect us from fear and want, but only God can do that.
Jesus came to be truly and completely with us so that we could be truly and completely in him.
We have joy because Jesus has come as the world's true King, and we have hope because he will come again.
We can live with humility toward others because we entrust ourselves to a faithful God. (What in the World Is Going On? 1 Peter 5:1-14)
