1. Appendix A: Finances; 2. Appendix B : Authority; 3. Conclusion.

This sermon explores the biblical counsel to enjoy the good things of life while maintaining a reverent awareness of God's judgment. The central message is that believers are called to rejoice in the present, particularly during youth, without falling into despair over the transient nature of worldly pleasures. The text emphasizes that this enjoyment must be balanced by holiness, urging listeners to live before God's face and avoid sin. Practical steps for cultivating this godly joy include immersing oneself in Scripture, maintaining a habit of prayer, and actively participating in corporate worship. Ultimately, the sermon asserts that true, Spirit-filled enjoyment of life is only possible through union with Christ, who perfectly lived and died to secure the believer's future.
