holding firmly to christ

Transcript

00:00To Christ there are three things you can do with your life, waste it, use it, or invest

00:04it.

00:05The best use of your life is to invest it in something that will last longer than it.

00:09The worst thing you can do is live only for today and for yourself.

00:12God did not put you on this earth to live for yourself.

00:16The Father in heaven created you to be like Christ according to Mark 10 45.

00:20Christ came to earth to do the things Mark 10 45 for even the Son of Man came not to

00:25be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

00:30As we strive to grow and become more like Christ, we must learn to live a life of service.

00:36Serving will help us create a lasting spiritual legacy to the world.

00:40The gospel is foolishness, but Jesus promised that he would use the foolish to shame the

00:44wise.

00:45Jesus longs to reveal himself to the world, and God wants to use those who are foolish

00:50enough to believe the good news to demonstrate his greatness and glory through the lives

00:54of believers.

00:55The world will see how the power of Jesus and his grace work.

00:58The world will witness that believing in Christ is not a foolish act as they accuse.

01:03Are we ready to be considered foolish by the world for holding firmly to Christ being considered

01:08foolish by the world is a game, because through it, people will see God's greatness, not

01:13ours.

01:14Ephesians 2 10 For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,

01:19which God prepared in advance for us to do.
