C.S. Lewis once wrote, “If I find in myself desires, which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is I was made for another world.” Ryan Ingram explains why everyone has a longing and restlessness for something more. Join him in Genesis chapter 2 as he describes the perfect environment God created for Adam and Eve and why, since sin entered the world, our hearts ache to be reunited with our Creator.
Main Points
What do I do about the ache within me? What if my longing isn’t a problem to fix but a sign pointing me home?
The home my heart aches for is not just a PLACE but a PERSON. - John 14:6

Here's a crazy thought: Suffering is actually essential for spiritual growth and maturity - not exactly what everyone's preaching these days. Join Chip as he explains how the experience of suffering can bring us closer to Christ.
Review: Hope: The mental and emotional attitude that life is good, the future is promising, and progress is certain… even in the midst of difficult circumstances and challenging relationships.
Question: How do we experience this true HOPE in everyday life?
Answer: Philippians 3:10-11
Paul’s hope and consuming passion:
“I want to KNOW Christ (yada - Hebrew)
and the POWER of His resurrection, (dunamis - Greek)
and the FELLOWSHIP of His suffering, (koinonia - Greek)
BECOMING like Him in His death. (morphe - Greek)
and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.”
