From Cars to Kingdoms: Valuing Eternal Truths Over Temporal Pursuits

Send us a text

Ever thought about how a car could teach you life lessons? I recount the bittersweet memories of my 1976 baby blue Dodge Aspen, "Babe," from the joy of fixing a broken U-joint to the heartbreak of seeing it scrapped by my cousin. This isn't just a story about a car; it's a gateway to a deeper reflection on our attachment to temporal things and how they sometimes overshadow the eternal truths we should be clinging to. We draw parallels with the Biblical narrative of Daniel and the Israelites, who discovered God's presence even in exile, far from their cherished temple.

Moving forward, we delve into the powerful promise of future glory found in Haggai 2, urging us to rebuild with strength and faith in God's enduring presence. We explore how Jesus' revolutionary arrival redefined the concept of God's kingdom, emphasizing that real church building is about discipleship and spreading His teachings, not erecting grand structures. Join us as we challenge ourselves and our community to invest in spiritual growth and eternal impact, fostering faith, unity, and trust in God's grand plan, rather than getting caught up in temporal pursuits.
