Life & Life Abundantly
Dan Webster | NCCB Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). In this Sending Sunday message, Dan Webster unpacks what it really means to live the abundant life Christ promised — going beyond the world's version of "success" (fame, riches, achievement) to the real and eternal life found only in Him. Drawing from John 10, John 6:68, Matthew 16:24-25, and the Priestly Blessing of Numbers 6, Dan explores the Greek concepts of zōē (life) and perissos (abundantly/to the full), and lays out four things the abundant life will require: learning to hear God's voice, faith and trust, courage, and laying down your life. The message closes with a call to receive God's blessing — His name, face, grace, peace, and favor resting upon us — as we're sent out to live and share that abundant life with others.
