When Life Feels Like a Zoo

Don't Quit

April 15, 2023 • Pastor Erik Lawson • Philippians 3:12–14, Jeremiah 1:4–5, Jeremiah 29:11, Acts 13:1–2, 2 Corinthians 5:10

Zoos are unnatural places for the animals housed there. They are closely confined and regulated in a hectic, chaotic, confusing, and busy environment. Often, life feels the same. We feel lost, overwhelmed, and trapped in the flow of everyday life. God provides us with a guide to help navigate the zoo life, His Word. In this message series we will look at God’s creations for valuable lessons which, along with His Word, can help us live out His purpose for us through this crazy zoo-like life. This week, Pastor Erik will show us what a zoo animal, whose young are called “joeys”, can teach us about not quitting when we want to give up. Join us for this fun and adventurous message because you never know what may happen when you invite God’s creation to take part in the teaching.
