Sermon Overview
Drawing from the Psalms and James, Reidhead reminds the listener that life is but a "vapor" or a "shadow." He warns against the "deceitfulness of riches" and the "pride of life" that make us act as if we will live forever on earth. The sermon is a call to "number our days" so that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom, investing our brief time in that which will endure at the "Judgment Seat of Christ".
Key Principles
Vapor of Life: Live with the constant awareness of your mortality; treat every day as a "loan" from God.
Numbering Days:Practice the wisdom of "counting your remaining time" to ensure you invest it in eternity.
Vanity of Accumulation:Stop spending your brief life accumulating earthly status or "treasures" that will burn.
Investing in Friends:Use your time and money to win "eternal friends" through global missions.
Urgency of Present:Treat "Now" as your only certain time for obedience; refuse to procrastinate in your surrender.
Shadow of the Almighty: Find your safety during your "brief days" by abiding under the shadow of God’s wings.
Audit of Eternity:Prepare for the "final audit" of your life by living with your eyes on the Judgment Seat of Christ.
Glorious Hope: Use the "Hope of Heaven" as the perspective that makes your earthly trials seem light and momentary.
