The Things That Run Our Lives

Title: The Things That Run Our Lives
Text: Genesis 29:31 - Genesis 3:24
Speaker: Pastor Kevin Deyette

Notes:

Idol is anything we look at and say- I have to have that to be okay, satisfied, complete, happy. -Tim Keller

1. Where our hearts run to: the idols behind the mess.
   
   • Leah's Idol: Jacob's Love
   • Rachel's Idol: Children
2. The Grace that was already there.  
   • We grasp… God gives. We strive… God listens. We compete… God works even in our mess.  

Message Summary: Our deepest longings often become the idols that cause messes, but in God’s grace He sees, hears, and remembers us.

Application: 

1. Notice where your heart runs to.
2. Bring what your heart is chasing to God
   • We keep asking what's temporary to carry eternal weight
3. What you are looking for is already yours in Jesus.
