True Satisfaction

Sermon Summary

The world makes a lot of promises in offering ways to satisfy our desires and bring us fulfillment. Many look for the secret by changing their circumstances or seeking success as the world defines it. Others get off track through the peaks and valleys of life. Paul shows us the Gospel offers the only way to complete contentment and satisfaction in every situation this side of eternity. We can’t find it in ourselves or in the world—only in the fullness of God. And out of that gift of fullness, we can rejoice, and do great exploits for His glory.

• Looking at Jeremiah, why do we keep going back to sources that have failed to satisfy us?
