The Book of Acts – Living a Life That Outlives You

What are you doing with your life? Are you living a life for Christ or are you living your life with Christ in it? Today, Pastor Jeremy challenges us to examine our hearts and our actions and turn our full attention to God, that we may live out our faith through obedience, not confidence. Enjoy!

Bullet Points

  • Living with reckless abandon means trusting God’s voice more than the outcome
  • Faith begins with obedience and leads to courage, persistence, and generosity
  • True worship and love for Jesus move us to action, not comfort
  • A life that outlives you is one fully surrendered to God’s purpose

Questions to Ask

  2. How can you trust God more with obedience than with understanding outcomes?
  3. Which area—faith, courage, persistence, generosity, or love—do you feel God calling you to grow in?
  4. What would living a life that outlives you look like for you today?
