Life can be so busy that it feels like you're running from one place to the next and never getting anything done. Have you ever felt like that? Most of us have. Busy schedules keep us on the run with hardly a minute to slow down. Jesus lived a different way. According to the Bible, He didn't rush or ever seem to be in a hurry. Jesus walked everywhere He went. So, think about this, how did He change the world and live in such an unhurried way? And is it possible for us to do the same? You might be thinking, "I wish I could live that way, but with the responsibility I have, my family, and my job, it's not happening. And you could be right—this change won't happen overnight. But, in this message of The Comeback, Pastor Lance will talk about practical ways we can start slowing down and making time for what matters most.

The Bible carries the most incredible message in the world. It has the power to transform our thoughts and, ultimately, our lives. We love to quote its verses to encourage ourselves and others in difficult times and when giving advice or counseling––but sometimes, those verses get taken out of context. What happens when we miss the original intent and meaning of the most powerful message in the world? Can it hurt, and does it matter?
It's important to try not to make the Bible say something it didn't say. In this message series, Pastor Lance will cover some of our favorite and most misused verses. We'll learn the context of the verses and what they really mean. We hope this message series, The Bible Didn't Say That, strengthens and encourages your faith.
In this message, Pastor Lance uses a powerful example of an hourglass to represent the life God has given us. It's passing away like the grains of sand that pass from one part of the glass to another. Once the sand has run its course, it can't be put back. That's why being present is so important. We've only been given so much sand.
Being fully present is tricky. Almost half the time, we are physically in one place but mentally somewhere else. We can't love people if we're not present with people.
Jesus lived a different way. He was fully present in the moment. In this message, we talk about what keeps us from being fully present. Being fully present is not something that comes easy, but the more we practice, the easier it becomes.
