We all have mountains we are trying to climb. Symbols of status… Objects of affection… Advancing our careers… Satisfying our own desires… If we climb that next peak, will we finally find our worth? If we mount that next summit, will we discover our purpose? The desire to achieve, to climb, is built into the very fiber of our being. We want to belonging and defy the odds. We all long for something higher than ourselves. Do you feel it? Can you sense it resonating in your bones? There is a reason we long to climb. The real question is, are you climbing toward the right goal? Or is it actually a false summit? Once you reach the peak you long for, will you truly be made whole? Join us Sunday mornings at Area 10 Faith Community at the Byrd Theatre starting September 8th for a five-week series, CLIMB.

All of us are in some way climbing a mountain: A mountain of success, achievement, or significance. But even though we are climbing this mountain, we rarely stop to ask ourselves if that mountain is worth climbing, or ask ourselves why we are climbing it to begin with.

In this week's message, we looked at the mountains society encourages us to climb and look at an ancient king who discovered a different mountain.
