SPEAKER_00: This is Pastor Aaron and welcome to your daily walk.
SPEAKER_00: I have loved preaching slowly through Philippians chapter 1.
SPEAKER_00: There's so much encouragement for us there.
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.
SPEAKER_00: To live is Christ and to die is gain.
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.
SPEAKER_00: And so we're really faced with a choice.
SPEAKER_00: Are we living fully for him now?
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?
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.
SPEAKER_00: It's found in 2 Corinthians chapter 5, and it's verse 6 through 9.
SPEAKER_00: It says this.
SPEAKER_00: Yes, we are of good courage, and we'd rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.
SPEAKER_00: Very similar to that verse.
SPEAKER_00: If I'm gonna live, it's gonna be for the glory of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: If I'm gonna die, it's gonna be for my gain.
SPEAKER_00: I'd rather be with Christ, but if I have breath in my lungs, I'm gonna live for him.
SPEAKER_00: Simple question.
SPEAKER_00: What's one thing you can do this week to better live for Christ?
SPEAKER_00: What's one thing you can do this week to better live to please him?
SPEAKER_00: Living for his honor and his glory.
SPEAKER_00: Church family, it's been great.
SPEAKER_00: Can't wait to worship all together.
SPEAKER_00: One big service, 10 30, starting August 23rd.
SPEAKER_00: I love you.
SPEAKER_00: God bless you.
SPEAKER_00: I can't wait to worship with you again.
