Our culture is divided. Politics, opinions on vaccines and other cultural issues are some examples of how people are divided. In this message Pastor Jake urges us to keep Jesus’ way of loving our neighbor primary. It seems everyone is frustrated, annoyed or angry at others who hold different views.

Last week we discussed the urgency of living life toward the Kingdom in the face of our limited time on this side of eternity. This week we talk about the other end of eternity and the beautiful promise we have in Christ's resurrection. Christ, Himself makes it clear that death is nothing to fear, it is a defeated enemy, and discipleship to Christ is the safest place in this world!

Though we have a beautiful eternal destiny, our life on this planet is precious and limited. Scripture tells us on multiple occasions that life is but a vapor. Though it is brief in comparison to eternity, it does not have to be insignificant. Coming face to face with our mortality can bring maturity and urgency in understanding that our life invested on this side of eternity can be a beautiful treasure stored up in God's Kingdom for the rest of eternity.
