Outline
The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
Why is our life on earth actually narrowing instead of widening?Young people often feel their lives are expanding with new opportunities, but the reality is our lives are constantly getting shorter, just as Jesus called the rich businessman a fool for thinking he had many years ahead.
What does God's math teach us about the brevity of our years?In God's sight, a thousand years is like a single day, meaning a full year of human life is only about a quarter of a second in eternity.
Why should we ask God to teach us to number our days?Instead of adopting a hopeless attitude of eating and drinking before we die, we should number our days so we can present a heart of wisdom to God and ask Him to confirm the work of our hands.
Are you using your church life for eternal value?Retreats and yearly checkpoints are good opportunities to examine whether our involvement in the church has eternal value or has merely been a routine checkbox.
What does the judgment seat of Christ mean for our deeds?We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ to be recompensed for what we have done in the body, which motivates us to persuade men in the fear of the Lord.2 Corinthians 5:9–10
How is godliness actually a means of great gain?Godliness is great gain when it is accompanied by true contentment rather than complaining and discontentment over our circumstances or relationships.1 Timothy 6:6
Why is the love of money the root of all sorts of evil?Discontentment reveals a deep-seated love of money, which leads people away from the faith and causes destruction, so believers must flee from these things and pursue righteousness.
What does it mean to lay hold of eternal life?We are called to let God breathe His eternal life into our brief fraction of a second on earth, following the example of Jesus's good confession before Pontius Pilate.
How do we avoid putting a stain on the commandment of God?Living a discontented life filled with complaints and a desire for earthly gain puts a stain on the word of God, so we must learn to be content and seek His kingdom first.
What does C.T. Studd's poem teach us about our choices?When faced with circumstances where we want to please ourselves or defend our reputation, a still, small voice whispers to choose eternal life over earthly gain.
What can we learn from the life of C.T. Studd?C.T. Studd gave up a comfortable life and national athletic success to serve as a missionary in China, India, and Africa, proving that burning out your life for God brings no regrets.
Why must we not put off giving our lives to the Lord?We must not fall for the lie that we can delay our surrender, because today is the day of salvation and we must not let our hearts grow hard.
