L.I.O.Z Ministry presents…
Living In Overflowing Zoe.

The first message in the series:
Time.

“To Live As Though.”

From 1 Corinthians, chapter 7, verses 29 through 35.

The appointed time has grown short.

Chronos has shaped how we have lived —
how we measure success,
how we manage relationships,
how we pursue possessions.

But Kairos confronts us.

We are called to live as though this present world is passing.
As though eternity is nearer than comfort.
As though devotion to the Lord outweighs distraction.

This is a call to undivided focus.
A call to Kingdom alignment.

To Live As Though.

John 13:33-35

Hey Fam, do you love me?

Hey Fam, do you love me like Christ loves you?
