Are you tired, overwhelmed, and pulled in a thousand different directions? In this message, Pastor Jacob explores what the Apostle Paul meant when he wrote "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21) and why true joy isn't found in a balanced life, but in a focused life.
We live in a culture that worships balance: work-life balance, balanced diets, balanced portfolios. But, the men and women of God in Scripture didn't strive for balance. They lived with an undivided heart. So what keeps us from that kind of focus, and how do we get it back?
In this sermon you'll discover:
- Why a scattered life leads to anxiety and steals your joy
- What it means to live through Christ and for Christ
- How to move from just surviving to truly thriving
- Why your motive behind everything matters more than the activity itself
Whether you're spinning 50 plates or just trying to get through the week, this message is an invitation to stop hydroplaning over the surface of your life and start walking on water with God.
