Chasing What Can’t Satisfy Redirecting Our Pursuit Toward Godliness

Have you ever felt like you're running on a spiritual treadmill, chasing everything but finding nothing? In this powerful message, speaker Chris Ray unpacks how our pursuit of money, possessions, approval, and control often leaves us empty-handed and exhausted. Through personal stories – from his own journey with a broken-down Toyota Celica to late-night rescues of his daughter – he illustrates how misplaced trust in worldly things can never satisfy our deepest longings. Drawing from 1 Timothy 6:6-8, Chris reveals that true contentment comes only through pursuing godliness and keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, just as Peter did when walking on water. With refreshing honesty and practical wisdom, he challenges us to examine what we're really chasing and invites us to experience the peace that comes from seeking God first. His urgent call to action reminds us that everything changes when we truly believe God is enough – we can finally step off that treadmill and find rest in His sufficiency.
