Sometimes, in the middle of life’s frenzied pace, you come up for air. It’s in those moments that you ask ultimate questions. “What on earth is this about?” “Is there any meaning behind all of this?” “I am here, but I’m not sure how I got here or why I’m here at all?” You are tempted to soliloquize along with Shakespeare’s Macbeth,

“Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”

Perhaps Shakespeare was never your bag. You may identify with the lyrics of the rock band, Kansas,

“I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind.”

Deep down, however, you know your life has more purpose than dust. There is a reason you are here. You continue to ponder. You poke around in your Bible, looking for that one verse to connect all the dots. But then your mind is drawn to your barking dog, your crying baby, your urgent bills. Indeed, the moment’s gone, and you return to going through the motions. Pandemic life forces you to invent new motions to go through - new distractions to quiet your inner inquiries. You find, however, that times of crisis cause ultimate questions to rise even closer to the surface.

In an effort to address these enduring questions from a Biblical perspective, we embark on a five-week sermon series entitled, “Broad Brushstrokes.” We will attempt to answer ultimate questions like, “Why did God create me?”, “Why is there so much evil in the world?”, and “What does God want from me?” We begin this Sunday. Just like any binge-worthy program, you don’t want to miss the pilot. “See you” then!
