RUNNING ON EMPTY | Running on Hope
When we were kids, almost all of us fought against our parents (to one degree or another) when it came to nap time. Regardless of how obviously tired we were, we raged against the one thing that we needed to fully enjoy the waking world around us - rest. As adults, we now long for a quick nap most days, yet we're “too busy” to take one … even though, again, it's what we need.
Our modern world has become frenetic and chaotic, constantly on the move. But we were never designed for this. We were designed from the beginning to rest - not just physically, but the whole totality of our beings. And God offers that way of rest to all of us, regardless of how busy or overwhelming our lives may seem. There is rest for you, rest for your very souls, if you're willing to enter into it.

Message Series Description:
In our modern-day lives, most of us are running at a pace that has used up all the fuel in our tanks - the dashboard lights are flashing, the alarms are blaring. Yet, we still try to keep moving on at the same pace, ignoring the warning signs of life, even the admonitions of God, who designed us to operate in this life with an integrated balance of activity and non-activity, to produce and to simply be. Our modern lives in so many ways ignore this design (in the guise of many noble causes), and we end up missing out on the very existence God has planned for us. The simple fact of the matter is that many of us are Running on Empty, and it's killing the joy and purpose Jesus has for us.
