Speaker: Siamah Ci Ciin — How Can I Live My Best Life Now?
• Luke 9:23
“And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”
To be His disciple means:
• Denying your own desires
• Avoiding what you want
• Choosing what Christ wants you to become
The best life we could ever have is found in Him.
• John 10:10
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
Going To Church:
Studies show that people who attend church once a week tend to be:
• Happier
• Healthier
• Living longer than those who do not attend
Church helps us avoid many bad decisions because we are constantly reminded of God’s truth.
True comfort is found in Jesus.
If someone feels that church is boring, it may mean they actually need to come more, because their soul needs to be fed.
• Acts 2:42
“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.”
• Colossians 3:16
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
Psalms 1:1–2 teaches that a blessed person:
• Does not follow the ways of the wicked
• Delights in the law of the Lord
• Meditates on it day and night
Example:
• When studying
• When driving
• When doing daily tasks
• Romans 8:28
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
— It reminds us that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
