SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE - Pastor Jon, May 9th

In this powerful message, we're challenged to reconsider our understanding of who we truly are. The central theme revolves around the profound truth that we are not merely bodies with souls, but souls with bodies. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 5 and 2 Corinthians 4-5, we're reminded that our physical bodies are temporary 'tents,' while our souls are eternal. This perspective shift invites us to prioritize our spiritual growth over worldly pursuits. The message emphasizes that God sees us primarily as souls, encouraging us to align our self-perception with His view. As we grapple with the concept of our true identity, we're called to 'deny ourselves' and 'take up our cross,' recognizing that in losing our earthly life, we gain eternal life. This teaching urges us to live with an eternal mindset, valuing our spiritual essence over our temporal existence.
