Eternal Or Temporal
Eternal or Temporal
Speaker: Rev. Patrick Kelley
Originally Recorded: Feb 11, 2018
Every faculty you have, your power of thinking or of moving your limbs from moment to moment, is given you by God. If you devoted every moment of your whole life exclusively to His service, you could not give Him anything that was not in a sense His own already.
– C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Matthew 6:19-21
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Don’t make temporary things your focus
Focus on that which is eternal
I place no value on anything I have or may possess, except in relation to the kingdom of God. If anything will advance the interests of the kingdom, it shall be given away or kept, only as by giving or keeping it I shall most promote the glory of Him to whom I owe all my hopes in time or eternity.
-David Livingstone
You can’t hide where your heart is
Where are you stewarding your money?
Where are you stewarding your time?
Where are you stewarding your talents?
Big Idea:
Wherever we focus is where we’ll invest our lives.
2 Corinthians 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Colossians 3:1-4
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Closing Thought:
How much do you think about eternity in an average week? How much do you think about temporary stuff?
5 Things this week:
1. Come back next week
2. Invite someone to come with you
3. Read your Bible
4. Find a place to serve
