Revolutionary Faith: What is Your Life?

Speaker: Pastor Lee Cummings
Date: August 15, 2020

The gift of today matters – it matters because eternity matters. In this sermon from Pastor Lee Cummings, we focus on the importance of today. Not yesterday or tomorrow, but the moment we’re in right now. What are you going to do with this moment?

Focus Scripture

James 4:13-17 (ESV)

“Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”
