In this sermon, Pastor Mike Blake reflects on the concept of change and the importance of finishing well in life. Drawing inspiration from the book "Finish" by John Acuff, he emphasizes that while many people start new endeavors with enthusiasm, the real challenge lies in seeing those efforts through to completion. Using personal anecdotes, including the routines he and his family share, Pastor highlights the significance of being intentional with time, which he equates to a vapor—fleeting and precious. He encourages the congregation to assess their lives and identify what truly matters, advocating for a more profound commitment to relationships and spiritual growth rather than material pursuits or societal pressures.Pastor also stresses the notion of redemption, not only of personal lives but also of time. He challenges listeners to engage with their current situations honestly, allowing data—like financial or physical metrics—to guide them towards change without falling into the trap of perfectionism. Instead of setting unrealistic lofty goals, Pastor urges the congregation to sit down, assess their aspirations, and plan actionable steps to achieve those goals while maintaining joy in the process. By grounding their pursuits in faith and focusing on what holds eternal value, Pastor inspires everyone to strive for a fulfilling and well-finished life, ultimately reminding them that God values them not based on their achievements but as beloved children.
