Episode Synopsis

What are we really living for? In this powerfulmessage, Dr. Gene Mims unpacks Jesus’ parable of the rich fool — a man who thought he had everything until God called him home. It’s a sobering reminder to hold loosely to what we have and live for what truly matters: eternity.🗝️ Key Topics(1:39) Don't let greed distort your purpose.(5:17) Everything we have is from God, not ourselves.(7:54) Our time on earth is limited -- eternity is what matters most.(21:11) True freedom comes from seeking God's kingdom, not possessions.📖 Key Scriptures⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Luke 12:13-21Matthew 6:25-34💬Quote from the Episode"In death, the truth comes out and we can live today foolishly believing that all of life is just the life that we know it and fashion it and live for it and expend a lot. And while we have to do all of those things, if we don't take care of eternity, we haven't taken care ofanything."📍Join Us In Person: The Gathering at 840⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠6315 Arno Rd, Franklin, TN 37064⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Groups for all ages: Sundays at 9:30 a.m.Main Worship Service: Sundays at 10:45 a.m.Visit us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.thegathering840.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🙌 Stay ConnectedFollow or subscribe to The Gathering with Dr. Gene Mims wherever you listen.If today's message encouraged you, share it with a friend and leave a review.
