When you came in today, you were given a small rock. We are going to let those rocks symbolize our own struggle with forgiveness.

This is the 4th in our sermon series called “Live Like You Were Dying.” We have been staring in the face the reality that we will not be here forever. Our days are numbered. Here is the question we have been wrestling with during this series, “If I only had 30 days to live, how would I spend my time?” How would I change? What would I start doing that I haven’t been doing? This challenging adventure is changing our perspective.

Today we are talking about LOVE. For those who may not have been here the last 2 weeks, we are attempting to “Live Like You Were Dying.” Here is the question we have been pondering. “If I only had 30 days left on this earth, how would I live each day? What would change? In the song “Live Like You Were Dying” there is a two word phrase with enormous implications – “Love Deeper.”

Live Like You Were Dying – “Speak Sweetly”

“What if you knew you only had 30 days to live?” How would you change?

As I said last week – life is terminal – the question is not if it’s when.

Yet, it is easy for us to live as though we were going to be here forever. We settle into a routine of fast paced living. We give little thought to where we are going or what direction we are headed. All we know is that we are going fast and we can’t seem to get off the treadmill.

Live Like You Were Dying – “Embrace Today”

A sermon preached by the Rev. John Thomas Sheehan

Over the next 4 weeks, we are going to consider: “What would it mean to live like we were dying?” If you got word today that you only had 30 days to live, how would your life change?

How would you spend your time? How would it impact your relationships? How would you prepare for eternity? What would you do that you’ve never done before? How would God want you to live those 30 days?

Let me encourage you to make it a priority to be here every weekend during this series.
