Summary

Are you living like someone running out of time? In this message from Pastor Levi Lusko on 1 John, you’ll discover why the promise of Christ’s return isn’t just a distant doctrine—it’s the most practical motivation for how you live today. With urgency, identity, and hope, this teaching will challenge you to let your future shape your present more than your past ever could. Anticipating Christ’s return doesn’t just change how you think—it transforms how you live, reminding us that while time is short, our future is secure.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

0:00.0	Title of this message today is time is running out. If you have a Bible, we're going to be in 1st John chapter 2.
0:05.6	We do say to every location, church online, thanks for being with us. It's an honor to have you.
0:10.5	Joining in, Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, however you are with us. We're honored to have you as well, those of you at every location.
0:19.4	We've been in a series. First John has been our guide.
0:22.6	We've called it Touchgrass. We have four more messages. We're at the halfway point of the series
0:27.6	this week. And I was thinking as I was reading the text preparing for this message, how often as a
0:34.5	parent, specifically around the time that we as a family need to get into the vehicle, I have had to say to my family, we don't have time for this, right? I don't know why everybody thinks, like, the time we're supposed to get in the car is the time to start a science project. Like, we don't do experiments. Right? Or I've had to say, like, why is it, why do you have no clothing on?
0:55.2	Not like no, we don't have time for this. You can't be naked right now. We need to go, right? Or we don't have, we don't have time for this, I have to say, because you've just begun the process of making a friendship bracelet, which you can't now let go of because then there will be beads all over the entire kitchen, which has happened, right? I need a snack. I need to go number two, right? These are
1:16.0	the things you think about 30 minutes before we need to leave, right? These are the things you think
1:20.1	about an hour before you. The time that we actually need to leave, right, is not the time that you
1:25.9	have to do all those various things. That's what you have to
1:28.8	think about it, which is why I've just decided to endorse lying. You have to lie to your family, right? The time that you actually need to leave is not the time you talk about leaving, because if that's the time you actually are going to be leaving, then no one, there's no hope of it. But if we lie to the family, then when we get in the car late, we actually might have a shot of getting up the door on time.
1:29.1	This is the one in a row. there's no hope of it. But if we lie to the family, then when we get into the car late,
1:49.0	we actually might have a shot of getting up the door on time. This is the one and only time in church I'm going to endorse lying as a parent. It's when you have children and specifically
1:53.3	a lot of little girls running around, okay? They just exist in an alternate universe led by
2:00.8	the queen mother herself, right?
2:04.9	Just hurting cats.
2:06.2	That's been my life the last 20 years, right?
2:11.3	There is in 1st John chapter 2 the flavor of that, of the urgency, of time is running out.
2:19.0	And what John's going to do for us today, he's going to give us the secret of the cheat
2:23.4	code to hope, to motivation, to purity, and to confidence.
2:30.9	And it's all going to be through his reminding us that the king is coming back to the world
