Testing Our Faith - Part 3 of Living Life Backwards
December 3, 2023 • Scotty Priest, John Barksdale • 1 Corinthians 9:24–25, Hebrews 12:1, Matthew 4:1–4, James 1
You might be carrying deep pain right now. You might be bearing a challenge you never thought you would. So many of us carry the weight of suffering — wondering if this is a punishment from God. You may be suffering right now, but that doesn't mean God doesn't love you. Sometimes when life is prospering and going really well, it is easy to see that God is with you. But, it's a lot more difficult when things are challenging, overwhelming and painful to say, "God is with me." God is with you. He will help you bear this burden. Take every day and use those moments to be faithful to God.
Live on Purpose - Part 2 of Living Life Backwards
November 26, 2023 • Justin Terry • Proverbs 29:25, Matthew 6:33, Ecclesiastes 1:1–2, Ecclesiastes 2
Based on the book of Ecclesiastes, we're looking from the perspective that our days are numbered and we’re all going to die. Based on those two sobering thoughts, we are asking ourselves this question, “How would my life look different if I chose to live with the end in mind?" This week we will continue looking through the lens of our own mortality by exploring our purpose in life. Someone said, “What matters most is not the number of days you’ve been given, but how you use them.”
Perspective - Part 1 of Living Life Backward
November 19, 2023 • Scotty Priest • Psalm 90:12, Psalm 39:4–5, Ecclesiastes 1, Ecclesiastes 9
Spoiler: You’re going to die someday. And you’re not the only one—everyone will. Encouraging, right? But how would life look different if you chose to live with the end in mind? The biblical book of Ecclesiastes has a lot to say about living life backwards. Starting at the end will help us reconsider what it means to “live well” today.
