Make Your Life Count / Living for Eternal Purposes

Do you ever look back and wonder where the time went? Life moves at lightning speed, and none of us wants to reach the end feeling like we've wasted our brief time on earth. In this powerful opening message of the "Make Your Life Count" series, we discover the first essential practice for living a life of eternal significance.

Drawing from Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem during Passover week, we explore how Christ remained laser-focused on his eternal purpose despite the crowd's misguided expectations. While hundreds of thousands gathered hoping for political liberation from Rome, Jesus came as a servant on a donkey, fulfilling ancient prophecy and setting the stage for the ultimate sacrifice that would change history forever.

One of our greatest challenges is the artificial divide we create between "spiritual" activities and "everyday" life. But what if everything—your work, parenting, friendships, and daily decisions—could be infused with eternal purpose? We unpack how living with this perspective transforms every aspect of life and guards against the enemy's tactics of distraction and division that pull us away from what truly matters.

The message concludes with practical guidance for developing your personal mission statement, helping you clarify your eternal purpose in your current season of life. Whether you're in a period of transition, healing, building a career, or raising a family, understanding your unique calling brings remarkable clarity to life's countless decisions.

Join us as we learn to break free from merely being busy to being truly purposeful. When we align our daily activities with God's mission for our lives, we don't just survive each day—we make our lives count for eternity.
