00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:06.719
<v SPEAKER_00>This is Pastor Aaron and welcome to your daily walk.

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.640
<v SPEAKER_00>I have loved preaching slowly through Philippians chapter 1.

00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.199
<v SPEAKER_00>There's so much encouragement for us there.

00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:21.359
<v SPEAKER_00>And I say yesterday we got a same encouragement from this one verse that I think means so much to so many believers.

00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:25.440
<v SPEAKER_00>To live is Christ and to die is gain.

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:37.200
<v SPEAKER_00>We were reminded that our lives must count for Jesus, and we have a sense of longing and hopeful expectation that once our life is over, we'll be face to face with him.

00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:39.759
<v SPEAKER_00>And so we're really faced with a choice.

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:42.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Are we living fully for him now?

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:50.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And are we trusting in eternity for the future, or are we living for ourselves now and forgetting the future that we have in front of us?

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:57.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Our daily walk verse is very similar to that one in Philippians chapter 1, verse 21, to live is Christ and to die as gain.

00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.759
<v SPEAKER_00>It's found in 2 Corinthians chapter 5, and it's verse 6 through 9.

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:02.799
<v SPEAKER_00>It says this.

00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:16.959
<v SPEAKER_00>Yes, we are of good courage, and we'd rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:22.000
<v SPEAKER_00>So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:23.760
<v SPEAKER_00>Very similar to that verse.

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.159
<v SPEAKER_00>If I'm gonna live, it's gonna be for the glory of Jesus.

00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.319
<v SPEAKER_00>If I'm gonna die, it's gonna be for my gain.

00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.319
<v SPEAKER_00>I'd rather be with Christ, but if I have breath in my lungs, I'm gonna live for him.

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:33.680
<v SPEAKER_00>Simple question.

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:39.920
<v SPEAKER_00>What's one thing you can do this week to better live for Christ?

00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.319
<v SPEAKER_00>What's one thing you can do this week to better live to please him?

00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Living for his honor and his glory.

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:48.640
<v SPEAKER_00>Church family, it's been great.

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Can't wait to worship all together.

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.040
<v SPEAKER_00>One big service, 10 30, starting August 23rd.

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:53.920
<v SPEAKER_00>I love you.

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:54.879
<v SPEAKER_00>God bless you.

00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.599
<v SPEAKER_00>I can't wait to worship with you again.
