Life

“And it is centered on a life of gratitude. It's centered on a life of gratitude. There are two ways to live life. First is a life dominated by anxiety. Or it can be a life directed towards appreciation.”

“You make known to me the path of life. In your presence, there is fullness of joy. And at your right hand, there are pleasures forevermore. Joy is linked to the presence of God. Joy is not linked to the circumstance of life, the experience of life, the acquisition of life. It is linked to living your life in the presence of God.”

“The blessing of life that you seek, the blessing of life that you need, the blessing of life that you want is all found in Christ and in Christ alone. Do you know this blessing in your life and the life that God blesses is a life that's focused on character. It is built on truth. It is tested by storms, but it is secured in Christ because He is indestructible.”

“You are not an accident, but you were created and fashioned with significant purpose and to live out that purpose and the number of days that God has put on your life for his purposes. Life is precious in the womb. But the second thing I want you to understand, I want to spend a lot of time on today, is that life is precious in the world. Life is precious in the womb, but life is precious in the world.”

“But secondly, we understand that life is never meant to be lived alone, the Christian life at least. The Christian life is meant to be lived in community, where we're sharing life with one another. We call these life groups. And that's why, adults, if you haven't found a life group yet, I desire with everything in me that you would worship God, but this wouldn't end here, that you would then go and you would get in a deeper community. A church of 300, you can just be a spectator in the back of the room. But when you get in a community of believers where there's 10, 15, 20 of you, then you get to know one another.”
