10/18/26 - Take Hold of the True Good Life

We're constantly surrounded by messages promising a better life through possessions, experiences, financial success, or personal comfort. Yet even good things can distract us from what makes life truly meaningful. In 1 Timothy 6:17–21, the Apostle Paul challenges those who possess material wealth not to become proud or place their security in riches, but to put their hope in God, who provides everything we enjoy.

In "Take Hold of the True Good Life," guest pastor Mike Sager reminds us that many American Christians are wealthy by global standards, whether or not we consider ourselves rich. With those resources comes an opportunity and responsibility to live generously, serve others, and become rich in good works. Rather than allowing our possessions to control us, we're invited to follow Christ's example of sacrificial love and invest in things of eternal significance. True life is found not in what we accumulate, but in knowing Christ and using what God has entrusted to us for His glory.
