play

11/18/24 • 54 min

Segment 1:

• Shift Focus: Are we too consumed by politics, forgetting what truly matters in light of eternity?

• Christ’s Example: Jesus submitted to laws He didn’t need to, to avoid stumbling others—eternity was His mission.

• Takeaway: God’s interest is eternal and glorious—what are you preoccupied with?

Segment 2:

• Be the Touch: Jesus touched outcasts; we can do the same for isolated, hurting people today.

• Modern “Lepers”: Social media highlights millions feeling unseen—your compassion can transform lives.

• Urgency: People are “dying” for connection. Your touch, interest, and kindness matter more than ever.

Segment 3:

• Spectacles of Worship: Are sports games replacing true worship? 90,000 people glorifying Georgia feels religious.

• Reflection: Glory belongs to God, not football—are we more excited about church or a game?

• Call to Action: Examine what truly holds your heart’s devotion.

Segment 4:

• Eternal Joy: Non-sinful fun should deepen our delight in God—live now as citizens of the New Earth.

• Sports Betting Reality: A $35B industry disguised as fun but rooted in short-term risk and misconceptions.
