What's your motivation in life? Why do you get up in the morning? Why do you work so hard? And why do you serve others? Why do you keep emptying yourself for the good of others? Most of us haven't really stopped to think about it. But our "why" really matters; it's the motivation behind everything we do! In this last message in our Next Steps series, we look at the why that empowers us live worshipfully and generously for Christ.

Do you want to be used of God? If so, you must pursue holiness along with others who are running in the same direction. We encourage you to take a step into a SS class and/or Growth Group!

Have you ever felt like an outsider? I'm sure all of us have had times in our lives where we have felt left out and not included. As a result, we all have a longing to belong. The good news is that through the cross we who were once outsiders can now belong to one another in Christ. We can be members of the same family and that changes everything!

Any step we take towards Jesus starts with him first moving toward us. Maybe that's what's happening in your life right now. Maybe God has been working in your life and pursuing you without your even knowing it-sending specific people into your life, arranging circumstances to line up just so, and even giving you a searching heart and hunger for his Word. The question is, what do you do when God opens your heart? How will you respond?
