Speaker 1: a brand new series called Make your Life Count.
Speaker 1: In fact, can we say those three words together already?
Speaker 1: Make your life count.
Speaker 1: Actually, that's four words.
Speaker 1: You know we're in Judge after 12 this morning.
Speaker 1: Here's what I know about you, even though I don't really know all of you, is I know this you don't wanna waste your life.
Speaker 1: And who wants to waste their life, who wants to go to the end of their life?
Speaker 1: And they're on their deathbed and they're like well, life was a waste and I'm totally okay with it.
Speaker 1: None of us want to do that.
Speaker 1: Here's what else about life.
Speaker 1: Life is so short, isn't it?
Speaker 1: You ever look back and you're like where in the world did the time go?
Speaker 1: I feel like we were just in May and I'm pulling up my social media apps and I'm seeing all your cute little back to school pictures and I'm like hold on, how are we, how am I already seeing back to school pictures?
Speaker 1: We just have a mortal day.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like time goes so fast.
Speaker 1: Maybe some of you, you you kind of like.
Speaker 1: You look at your bodies and you're like what in the world?
Speaker 1: Like where did time go, right?
Speaker 1: So your kids are all growing up.
Speaker 1: Time in life happens so fast.
Speaker 1: In fact, even James says this.
Speaker 1: In the book of James.
Speaker 1: He says for you are like a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
Speaker 1: Isn't that so real?
Speaker 1: And if our life is short and we want to make our life count, how do we actually do that?
Speaker 1: What we're going to do over the next three weeks is we're going to look at three practices.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a very simple series, three practices of what you can do looking at the life of Jesus from the book of John and we always look to scripture here, because scripture is the source of all truth and all life.
Speaker 1: We're going to look here and we're going to look at how do we make our life count.
Speaker 1: Here's the first practice of people that make their life count.
Speaker 1: This is what they do.
Speaker 1: They live their life for eternal purposes.
Speaker 1: This takes us to the book of John, chapter number 12, and Jesus had to make a decision whether or not he was going to live his life for eternal purposes or not.
Speaker 1: Now you guys are thinking of course he did, because his name is Jesus and that's what he did.
Speaker 1: But did you know?
Speaker 1: Jesus wrestled with whether or not he was gonna actually do this.
Speaker 1: No, there's no way.
Speaker 1: He wrestled with this Like he's Jesus.
Speaker 1: Garden of Gethsemane.
Speaker 1: Jesus knew if he was gonna to live for eternal purposes, it was going to call him to be crucified.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, but I'm not signing up to be crucified anytime soon.
Speaker 1: Jesus wrestles with this and this is what he says in Matthew, chapter 26.
Speaker 1: He says this.
Speaker 1: He says this there we go.
Speaker 1: He says, going a little further.
Speaker 1: He fell face down and prayed my father, if it is possible.
Speaker 1: What's the underlying phrase?
Speaker 1: Let this cup pass from me, if it's possible.
Speaker 1: Lord, I don't, father, I don't want to experience this.
Speaker 1: Can you blame him?
Speaker 1: Let this cup pass from me.
Speaker 1: Yet, not as I will, but your will be done.
Speaker 1: And Jesus made the decision to live for eternal purposes and were able to have salvation.
Speaker 1: Now, a few days before he prayed this prayer, he comes to Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: The day of the week is Sunday.
Speaker 1: It's an event called the triumphal entry.
Speaker 1: It begins something known as holy week, and what happens is the stage is being set and literally hundreds of thousands of people are converging onto the city because they're celebrating an event, and what they don't realize is this is going to be the week that changed the course of history.
Speaker 1: So we open up to John chapter 12, and we see the beginning of the week that changed everything, and if you're ready for it, would you say amen?
Speaker 1: John 12, verse number 12, it says this the next day when the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: So there's a large crowd of people that are coming to a festival.
Speaker 1: Now, the thing about the Jews is they celebrated seven different festivals every year.
Speaker 1: They had seven different celebrations.
Speaker 1: Here's what they were they had the Passover, they had the unleavened bread.
Speaker 1: Some of these were feasts the first fruits, pentecost, trumpet, day of atonement, and tabernacles, children of Israel.
Speaker 1: They knew how to partay, they knew how to get together and have a feast.
Speaker 1: And the reason why they would celebrate all these different things is because they were looking back in remembrance of something that God had done or something God had taught them, or something that they experienced in their nation's history.
Speaker 1: Now, in John chapter 12, what they're celebrating is they're celebrating the Passover.
Speaker 1: The Passover had a very specific purpose.
Speaker 1: What the Passover did was they remembered what God had done when he had delivered them from the nation, the country of Egypt, the bondage of Egypt, and there was a lamb's blood that spared the Israelites firstborn.
Speaker 1: Now y'all are like lamb's blood.
Speaker 1: What is this all about?
Speaker 1: God had told the nation that if they would sacrifice a lamb and they would put the blood of the lamb on the doorpost, that the angel of death would watch this, would pass over the house and the firstborn would not die.
Speaker 1: God used this in the life of the nation of Israel and in the life of the Egyptians to allow the nation of Israel to be freed from the bondage of the Egyptians.
Speaker 1: And in John, chapter 12, what's happening is you have literally hundreds of thousands of Jews are converging onto the city of Jerusalem to remember this event that happened.
Speaker 1: But what they didn't realize is this event that happened in Exodus, chapter 12, the Passover lamb was just a foreshadowing of the lamb of God, jesus, who, through his blood on our life, our sins, would be washed away.
Speaker 1: In fact, in 1 Corinthians 5, paul writes this For Christ, our what are those two words?
Speaker 1: For Christ, our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.
Speaker 1: So, just like the blood on the door freed the Israelites, it's the blood of Jesus that frees us from the penalty of sin and the power of sin, when we put our trust in what Jesus Christ had done for us on the cross.
Speaker 1: It's the blood of Jesus that brings salvation to our souls.
Speaker 1: In fact, in Hebrews, chapter 9, it says without the shedding of blood there's no forgiveness of sin.
Speaker 1: What separates Christianity from every other religion and New Age teaching and all of these things that are out there, is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: That happened because he died on the cross and shed his blood for us, because our sin needs to be paid for and Jesus paid for our sin.
Speaker 1: And Jesus paid for our sin.
Speaker 1: And this week, in John 12, this week Jesus is going the week of the Passover.
Speaker 1: He's going to Jerusalem the week they're celebrating what happened in the past to give his life for all of humanity, and the crowds were there to gather and welcome him.
Speaker 1: This is what it says in the next verse, verse number 13.
Speaker 1: It says they took palm branches and they went out to meet him and they kept shouting Hosanna, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.
Speaker 1: Hosanna, hosanna, why Hosanna?
Speaker 1: Here's what the word Hosanna means.
Speaker 1: Hosanna means save us.
Speaker 1: But these people aren't wanting to be saved from their sin.
Speaker 1: They're wanting to be saved from the pesky Roman Empire that makes their life hard and difficult.
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, would you save us from those Romans?
Speaker 1: We don't like those soldiers.
Speaker 1: They're like mean and tough and they tax us off the nose Like well, jesus, would you set up like your earthly kingdom right now and just take over and give us what we want and make our lives easier and more comfortable?
Speaker 1: This is what we want.
Speaker 1: We want you just to take over and power.
Speaker 1: But they missed something.
Speaker 1: What they missed is when Jesus came into Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: He didn't come in riding on a white horse, which is what military leaders and kings would come in on showing their majesty and their power, which one day, revelation 19 tells us, jesus will come in on a white horse.
Speaker 1: But this first time you know what he came in on A donkey, a donkey.
Speaker 1: They missed that.
Speaker 1: You know who rode on donkeys Servants.
Speaker 1: Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it.
Speaker 1: Just as it is written.
Speaker 1: Do not be afraid, daughter Zion, look, your king is coming sitting on a donkey's colt.
Speaker 1: It says it is written.
Speaker 1: What does it mean?
Speaker 1: It is written there in verse number 14.
Speaker 1: What that's referring to is prophecy that had been written about in Zechariah, chapter nine, saying when Jesus, the Messiah, the son of God, comes, this is what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Now maybe you're here and you're just like, what's all this whole Christianity thing about?
Speaker 1: You're like the earlier part with all the music.
Speaker 1: That was kind of a lot Like I don't understand all this.
Speaker 1: What's going on here?
Speaker 1: Okay, here's what you owe to yourself.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just a random guy.
Speaker 1: You don't owe nothing to me, but you owe this to yourself.
Speaker 1: So look at the pinpoint prophecies that were written hundreds of years before Jesus came and how Jesus fulfilled every single one of them to a T.
Speaker 1: The chances of those being fulfilled are mind boggling.
Speaker 1: Like it's crazy that he fulfilled them.
Speaker 1: And if he fulfilled all of these prophecies, it shows that he is the son of God, that he's the way, he's the truth, he's the life and he has only one place and that is to be the king of our hearts and the king of our lives.
Speaker 1: And he comes into Jerusalem this first time and he comes in on a donkey, because he comes in as a suffering servant to die.
Speaker 1: Now, not everybody understood this.
Speaker 1: In fact, his disciples didn't even understand it.
Speaker 1: Verse 16, the text tells us this.
Speaker 1: It says that his disciples.
Speaker 1: They didn't understand these things at first.
Speaker 1: They didn't understand like, okay, this prophecy?
Speaker 1: What happened here?
Speaker 1: However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remember that these things had been written about him glorified About 45 days later, jesus Acts, chapter one Jesus would ascend up to heaven.
Speaker 1: After he died, after he was resurrected, he would ascend up to heaven, he would be glorified.
Speaker 1: At that point it was like the aha came on.
Speaker 1: You ever have a time in your life where, like the light bulb comes on.
Speaker 1: You're like how come I didn't see that before?
Speaker 1: How come I didn't understand?
Speaker 1: It was at that time, when he had been glorified.
Speaker 1: That's when they remember these things.
Speaker 1: In verse number 17, it says meanwhile, the crowd which had been raised with him, when he had called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, they continued to testify.
Speaker 1: They were because they heard he had done this sign.
Speaker 1: This is why the people came.
Speaker 1: They want to see this guy.
Speaker 1: And when we look at this text Romans, chapter 12, and we look at this context, this is what we can see, chapter 12, and we look at this context, this is what we can see when it comes to making our life count we can see that Jesus focused on his purpose when he went to Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: Here he didn't come for a weekend getaway with the boys.
Speaker 1: Jesus wasn't like man I just I need some R&R.
Speaker 1: Life has been stressful, I'm tired.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Jerusalem because, hopefully, you know, they got some good restaurants and some good coffee shops.
Speaker 1: That's not why he came.
Speaker 1: He came because his purpose his purpose was to Luke 19, 10, was to seek and to save those who were lost.
Speaker 1: So he came to seek and save those of us who are lost in sin, which, by the way, apart from Jesus, that's all of us.
Speaker 1: None of us are perfect.
Speaker 1: None of us make measure up and meet the mark.
Speaker 1: We all come with our real selves and, by the way, that's what church is supposed to be, just as we are.
Speaker 1: And jesus came with this purpose, came with this purpose to save us.
Speaker 1: Now, when you think about the purpose of jesus, it kind of brings up a question for us what is our purpose?
Speaker 1: Ultimately, our purpose is this the purpose of humanity is to glorify god.
Speaker 1: That's our purpose.
Speaker 1: To know jesus and to make jesus known.
Speaker 1: And within this bigger picture of our purpose of glorifying god, every one of you, you have.
Speaker 1: You have passions, you have certain roles, certain assignments from God for you to glorify God and live for eternal purposes within your gifts, your passions, your roles, your assignments from God.
Speaker 1: So the question that we really need to ask ourselves this morning is this how can I, how can we live for eternal purposes with my gifts, my passion and my roles?
Speaker 1: In my specific context, you're like, okay, what are like students, employees, spouses, friends.
Speaker 1: So, within our roles, within our roles, our gifts, our passions, how can we live for eternal purposes?
Speaker 1: And then I got to say, sometimes what we do is we make this false distinction, this false dichotomy between holy, spiritual things like going to church on Sunday morning and listen to Pastor Nate preach a sermon, serving on a serve team reading the Bible like these are so spiritual.
Speaker 1: And then we look at everything else in our life and we're like that's not really spiritual, that's just life stuff.
Speaker 1: Like I have to go to work on Monday, I gotta take the kids to school, and we create this false distinction between, like, what's holy and what's spiritual and what's sacred.
Speaker 1: And then this over here is like this isn't, this is just like secular, this isn't that big of a deal.
Speaker 1: But here's the reality.
Speaker 1: For the Jesus follower, there's no distinction between the sacred and the secular, because everything we do is sacred, because everything we do should be done for God's glory.
Speaker 1: You can work for God's glory.
Speaker 1: How can I work for God's glory?
Speaker 1: Work hard, have integrity, be a light.
Speaker 1: Do that for God's glory.
Speaker 1: You can parent for God's glory.
Speaker 1: How can you parent for God's glory?
Speaker 1: Spend as much time investing in your child's spiritual development as you do their academic development and their athletic development.
Speaker 1: You can be a friend for the glory of God.
Speaker 1: You say how do I even do this?
Speaker 1: Like this is just my boy, like I hang out with?
Speaker 1: When's the last time you prayed for them?
Speaker 1: How can you help them take steps of growth in their faith?
Speaker 1: And what happens is when we look at all of our entire life, instead of creating this false dichotomy of like this is spiritual, this is an unspiritual, this is just me on the lake, this is me here, when we see all of life is sacred and all of life is spiritual, what we can do is we can look to live for eternal purposes in every single area of our life.
Speaker 1: And when we live for eternal purposes in all the different areas of our life, this is what we're going to see.
Speaker 1: We're going to see that it will transform everything else about you.
Speaker 1: It's not trying to hurt anyone else about you.
Speaker 1: It's going to transform how you look at your time.
Speaker 1: It's going to transform how you look at your relationships.
Speaker 1: It's going to transform how you look at your weekends, how you look at your future.
Speaker 1: And here's what the enemy will do, guys.
Speaker 1: He's been doing this forever.
Speaker 1: He will do everything he can to get you to disengage from living for eternal purposes.
Speaker 1: Here's why Because the follower of Jesus that is focused on living for eternal purposes is a mighty weapon in the hand of God.
Speaker 1: It's a Testing one.
Speaker 1: Can you hear me now?
Speaker 1: Come on, the devil didn't like that.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's a mighty weapon in the hand of God, and what it will often do is it'll use distraction and division to get people like you and like me to disengage from living for eternal purposes.
Speaker 1: He'll use a ton of distraction.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just leave this slide right there.
Speaker 1: A ton of distraction right Now.
Speaker 1: Here's what he usually does too he distracts us with good things.
Speaker 1: He doesn't distract us with evil things.
Speaker 1: He'll distract us with things, and we might not use the word distraction.
Speaker 1: This is what I'll use the word.
Speaker 1: I'll use the word busy.
Speaker 1: And before we know it, we can't even remember the last time we opened up the Bible app.
Speaker 1: We can't remember the last time we, like, opened up scripture.
Speaker 1: And I'm not hating on anybody, I'm just saying this is life.
Speaker 1: We're like man.
Speaker 1: It's been like.
Speaker 1: When's the last time I went to a church service?
Speaker 1: I think I went a month ago and this is what's happened We've gotten so busy that we can get distracted, which literally means being pulled apart, and before we know it, we are disengaged from living for eternal purposes and our hearts can grow cold and apathetic and we're just out of place, for we're just on autopilot in our life.
Speaker 1: And if the enemy can't get us by distraction, a lot of times he'll get us by division.
Speaker 1: He'll try to create a wedge within families, within christ followers, within churches, and often it starts as something little, teeny, weeny and small.
Speaker 1: Somebody says something, or somebody did something, or they looked at us in such a way and we're just like, ah, and that little thought or that little thing took root in our heart.
Speaker 1: And, before we know it, that little thing that takes root in our heart starts telling us a narrative about this and this person hates me, and this person, that and this person, and then what happens is fruit starts germinating from that and we have the fruit of resentment and bitterness and anger.
Speaker 1: I had a.
Speaker 1: I had a pastor friend tell me we were talking a while ago and I was like how's things going?
Speaker 1: He's like things are good.
Speaker 1: He's like.
Speaker 1: He's like I don't know.
Speaker 1: Like how's things going?
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, things are good.
Speaker 1: He's like.
Speaker 1: But I had this weird, crazy thing that kind of happened to me.
Speaker 1: I was like what happened to you?
Speaker 1: I mean, if somebody says that you want to know what happened to them, right, like, give me the tea, as the kids say, that means like let me know what's going on.
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, he said so there was this family.
Speaker 1: They stopped coming to the church here and I said, man, I hate that.
Speaker 1: He's like yeah, it was like, it was weird.
Speaker 1: He's like don't laugh.
Speaker 1: Like I'm going to tell you the story.
Speaker 1: Like what happened.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, why would I laugh?
Speaker 1: Like this is serious.
Speaker 1: He said, well, this family is really faithful and they sit in the same place, in the same row and you know, every Sunday and they missed a week and I was like, oh, they're probably sick and they missed two weeks in a row and I'm like that's really weird.
Speaker 1: So I hit them up and I like text them.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, is everything okay?
Speaker 1: And they said, actually, pastor, we know that you're mad at us and we know that you don't like us, so we're not going to come back to the service, to the church.
Speaker 1: My it Like I pray for this family all the time.
Speaker 1: I love this family, I care about them.
Speaker 1: Like what's going on?
Speaker 1: So I said what happened?
Speaker 1: So I called and I talked to them and they said here's what happened pastor, two weeks ago I'm not making this up Two weeks ago you did not shake our hand and you shook the hands of the people in the row behind us, but you didn't shake our hand.
Speaker 1: So because of that, we will no longer be going to the church.
Speaker 1: And I thought, tell me you are petty and unhealthy, without telling me you are petty and unhealthy.
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, hold on what happened here.
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 1: Here's what happened.
Speaker 1: The enemy used something small and teeny like that to get good people, a good family that I'm sure love Jesus, to get them from disengaged from living for eternal purposes, with the family of God, with the people of God, because God works in and through his church.
Speaker 1: And what the enemy will do is he's gonna cause division.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna try to do anything he can.
Speaker 1: But here's what we know.
Speaker 1: We are better than me and here's what we know what God brings together, we're going to fight for unity and we're going to love and we're going to serve and we're going to pray for each other.
Speaker 1: That's what we're going to do.
Speaker 1: And sometimes the enemy will try to cause distraction, sometimes he'll try to cause division.
Speaker 1: And Jesus said no, no, no, I am focused on my purpose, I'm focused on eternal purposes.
Speaker 1: And then number two, and we're done is.
Speaker 1: Jesus was unmoved by the crowd In verse 13,.
Speaker 1: They said Hosanna, save us from these Romans, set something up, do something for us.
Speaker 1: Jesus said, nah, I have an eternal purpose to fulfill.
Speaker 1: I'm not here to set up my earthly kingdom yet.
Speaker 1: I'm here to come and die on the cross for your sin.
Speaker 1: And all these people did not understand.
Speaker 1: And, friend, you realize that if you're going to follow Jesus and live for eternal purposes, not everybody's going to understand.
Speaker 1: Some people are going to be like, hey, how come?
Speaker 1: You won't lie about that.
Speaker 1: For me, I mean like it's not that big a deal, like why don't you just lie?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I'm living for eternal purposes.
Speaker 1: You're going to have some friends that are going to be like like it's not that big a deal, like why don't you just lie?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I'm living for eternal purposes.
Speaker 1: You're going to have some friends.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be like hey, like let's just go get drunk, like that's what we used to do, it's fun.
Speaker 1: They're not going to understand, but it's like no, no, friend, like I love you, but man more.
Speaker 1: That's not who I am.
Speaker 1: People aren't always going to understand.
Speaker 1: They're not going to always understand when you stay focused on eternal purposes.
Speaker 1: But the only way you will be able to live for eternal purposes is if you aren't swayed by what everybody else thinks about you.
Speaker 1: Jesus wasn't swayed because he knew his purpose and he fulfilled his purpose because he wouldn't be swayed.
Speaker 1: Some of us in our lives right now we have these people telling us this over here.
Speaker 1: We got the world telling us this over here.
Speaker 1: We got our flesh telling us this over here and we're like over here and over here and over here, and we are distracted and we have all these things happening in us.
Speaker 1: And this is what we got to know.
Speaker 1: We got to know this that if we will live for eternal purposes, that if we will set our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, that we will make our life count.
Speaker 1: And we will not make our life count if we chase after a thousand lesser things and we do everything that everybody else tells us to do.
Speaker 1: We do everything that culture tells us to do, friend.
Speaker 1: We have to be people that are fixed and unmovable and are always abounding in the work of the Lord.
Speaker 1: Philippians, chapter 3, paul says this.
Speaker 1: Paul says that I may know him and the power of his resurrection.
Speaker 1: And if you are ever going to make your life count, friend, if you are ever going to make your life count for eternity, for the next generation, we have to be people that say I'm not going to be swayed by what everybody else thinks I should do.
Speaker 1: Can somebody in the room say amen, that's what we have to be.
Speaker 1: I was reading a book this past week and I got to wrap up with this and I've been going through it.
Speaker 1: It's a book by a guy named Mack Lake, who's going to be our speaker at our Grow Conference.
Speaker 1: It's a book called Leading Yourself, and the book is all about how do you lead yourself spiritually, emotionally, relationally, physically, so you can help other people know Jesus and you can make Jesus known.
Speaker 1: And he gave a quote in the book that really jumped out at me and I wanted to share it because I think it might be helpful to some of us.
Speaker 1: He said don't mistake being busy for being purposeful.
Speaker 1: A packed schedule doesn't mean that you live an impactful life, but aligning your life, aligning your daily activities with your mission will and this hit me because I'm busier now than I've ever been in my life as God's building his church, there's more needs and opportunities and it's just, it's just a lot right now.
Speaker 1: Also, I have a little life event coming up in November, so that kind of adds to it, right.
Speaker 1: And some weeks I don't know if this connects with you, but some weeks I'm just trying to keep my head above water.
Speaker 1: Some weeks I'm like, okay, I look at my calendar and I'm like I think I have time for sermon prep this week and it's a lot.
Speaker 1: And in this book he talks about putting together a personal mission statement that will be your center mass for everything else in your life, something that can center you when things are throwing you this way and things are throwing you that way that you can say no, no, like, like.
Speaker 1: This is what I'm about, and he gives us an.
Speaker 1: He gave an exercise about how you can look at your passions and your gifts and and, and what the impact you want to leave on the world and together put together this mission statement.
Speaker 1: And I put something together and this is what it is.
Speaker 1: If we get up the screen, it's this it's to love well, to lead well and develop others so Jesus is made known and his church is strengthened.
Speaker 1: And I share this with you.
Speaker 1: Not so you guys will think, oh, pastor Nate's so spiritual?
Speaker 1: No, or so you'll take a picture and try to make it your mission statement.
Speaker 1: Please don't do that.
Speaker 1: I say this to you because in my own life, I can get so distracted by all these other things that I have to remind myself what is front and center, that I want to make Jesus known.
Speaker 1: And if I'm not doing this, then what am I doing?
Speaker 1: And this is what I did.
Speaker 1: Josh is going to come up.
Speaker 1: We're going to play a song.
Speaker 1: I took out my journal and I just wrote in the front page of my journal my mission statement is right here and I look at it every single week of my life and it's like, lord, help me to stay in alignment with this and some values in my life.
Speaker 1: That kind of helps me stay along with that, live in line with that.
Speaker 1: And here's what I know, friend, if you will decide that you will live for eternal purposes, it will clarify a million other things and a million other decisions in your life.
Speaker 1: So two questions.
Speaker 1: One will you decide or will you rededicate yourself to live for eternal purposes?
Speaker 1: Have you ever made the decision in your life that I'm gonna live for eternity?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make my life count?
Speaker 1: Maybe you have, but you've kind of drifted a little bit.
Speaker 1: Can we just reignite our heart?
Speaker 1: Number two what is your eternal purpose in your current season of whatever that is your current season of parenting, family, of work, of transition, of healing, whatever the season of life you're in right now?
Speaker 1: What is your eternal purpose in this season?
