Living A Life That Lasts Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

As a new year begins, maybe you consider the brevity of life and have a renewed desire to live a life that lasts. Our life is fleeting and fragile and yet, there is, within the heart of the believer a burden to invest and steward the time allotted to them by God.

C.T. Studd once said, “Only one life will soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.“

As we begin a new year , Jonny Ardavanis is going to point us to the scripture and provide for us “Five Hallmarks Of A Life That Lasts.” If you desire to leave a legacy, you’re not going to want to miss what the Scripture says in this regard.
