ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if the greatest threat to your purpose isn’t failure—but distraction?
In Ephesians 5:10–20, Paul challenges us to carefully consider how we live, to walk in wisdom, and to “make the most of every opportunity.” Because our days are numbered. Time moves quickly. And every moment we’re given carries the potential to reveal who God is to the world around us.
In this message, Pastor David Johnson explores what it means to live with intention in a distracted world—and how we can make every second count through three simple movements:
Imitation — Live like Jesus in everything you do.
Invitation — Invite God into the ordinary and unexpected moments of your life.
Expectation — Believe that God can move in any moment, in ways beyond what you could ask or imagine.
You can’t get yesterday back. But you can decide how you’ll live today.
A year from now, when you look back on 2026, what do you want to remember?
With Jesus, every second counts. Let’s make them count.
