| 0:04.0 | When Paul looked his own funeral in the face, |
| 0:10.0 | he said, my eager expectation and hope that now as always Christ might be magnified in my body, |
| 0:21.9 | whether by life or by death. I want my my Lord Jesus to be magnified in my |
| 0:29.4 | body at my funeral. And in chapter 10, verse 31 of 1st Corinthians, he said whether you eat or |

| 2:06.9 | and for him is the head of all things, firstborn from the dead, that in him he might be in everything preeminent. |
| 2:20.0 | So it's clear, seems to me, from those verses, that God intends, Jesus intends, for your life to bring him glory. |
| 2:37.1 | He means for you to do everything you do, |
| 2:40.4 | would you eat or drink, all that you feel, all that you think, all that you act to make |
