Living Faithfully Amid Spiritual Decline 10: Fulfilling God’s Purpose for Your Life - 2 Kings 8:7-15

God has created us for a purpose. We are created with something specific in mind. This is the last sermon in our series about living faithfully amid spiritual decline. In such an environment, thoughts of God's purpose for us aren't as common as doing what I want. But walking in the purposes of God, we do the greatest and most desirable things that we can with our life, bearing eternal fruit. In Revelation, at the end of all time, an angel declares through the whole earth, "Fear God and give him glory for his hour of judgment has come." Just one more opportunity at the 12th hour for people to yield to the purposes of God. The heart of God for every one of us is to yield to his purposes. That verse begins with, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. They enter into rest and their works will follow them." Only the deeds we do in Christ are eternal and put that up against other pursuits in our life. So we will read from 2 Kings 8. Extra reading: Ephesians 2:1-10 Preacher: Bill Dyck
