Living a No-Regrets Life: Mark 12:30. Someone has said, “Your life is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift to God.” What are you going to do with your life, with the time you have remaining? Jesus came, not so much to add years to your life, as to add life to your years. Satan comes to steal life from your years. He wants to kill your dreams and destroy your hope. In this sermon Pastor Barry shares how to restore and sustain your passion for life.

My dad lived by the motto, Tomorrow’s going to be a better day. Much of his life was lived for “someday” in the future; for someday when he retired, or had enough money or when things calmed down. There was always a variation to that theme until August 5th, 2017. On that Friday evening, he went to sleep and never woke up. I wonder how his last days might have been different if he knew he only had a few days to live. I wonder how our perspective and priorities would be different if we knew we only had a few days to live? One thing is certain, we’d probably squeeze all we could from the days that remained. We’d love with abandon. We’d focus on what matters most. In short, we’d stop wasting precious time and live the way God intended for us to live all along. In this series, One Month to Live, Pastor Barry will challenge you to stop waiting for someday and start making each day count. Learn how to make the most of your time here on earth now by living your life with no regrets.
I was listening to your sermon. “Living A No Regrets Life”. As I get older I wish I could go back to the past and live my life over – not do the things I now regret. I was self-centered and I think about how many people I hurt, including myself. I was raised a Christian, but still made mistakes that I wish I could erase. I know I have been forgiven because I am truly repentant and Jesus gave His life for me/us. God’s gift of salvation. I am a different person now. Still, the hardest part is forgiving ourselves. I see more clearly now than I ever have. I wish I had lived a no regrets life. I hope younger people take your sermons seriously. The saying that “youth is wasted on the young” was certainly true for me. God has opened my eyes and my heart.
God bless you and your family.
