Summary
In today’s devotional, the last in our series on the parables, we’ll be looking at the parables of the lost sheep and coin. May you discover today how precious you are in the eyes of God. And may you be empowered to see yourself, your value, as he does.
Our Scripture for today comes from Luke 15:4-7, Luke 15:8-10. Today's worship is Where I'll Be Found by Restoration Worship.

Outro / Wrap Up:
Thank you so much for listening to today’s podcast, the last in our week-long series on vision and boundaries.
Tomorrow we start a brand new series, looking at Jesus as our King, to help us engage our hearts in this beautiful season of advent. My hope is that together we can center our lives around the goodness of who Jesus is, and establish him as our source in this Christmas season.

| 0:00.0 | As we finish our week on vision and boundaries, today we'll focus on having vision for eternity. |
| 0:10.3 | The glorious truth is that this world is not the end for us. |
| 0:14.5 | In fact, through Jesus, we will see a kingdom that has no end. |
| 0:18.7 | Christ desires His people to be those that live with fresh vision for |
| 0:22.4 | heaven and eyes fixed upwards. May you be newly envisioned and encouraged today as you're reminded |
| 0:28.5 | of the world that is to come through Christ or King. Welcome to the first 15 podcast. To be a true |
| 0:36.9 | person of vision is to live this life in light of eternity. |
| 0:40.3 | Without a real revelation of eternity, this life will be marked by hopelessness and a sense of aimless wandering. |
| 0:46.3 | Only when our destination comes into view can we rightly see the circumstances strewn along the journey of this life. Ecclesiastes 311 says |
| 0:56.2 | He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, |
| 1:02.6 | yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. To look to |
| 1:08.4 | eternity requires us to trust. Our minds are finite. In the only world |
| 1:13.5 | we've ever known, life is marked by a beginning and an end, by birth and death. But in |
| 1:20.2 | Scripture, we discover that God is the maker of life and the conqueror of death. We discover |
| 1:25.6 | that in Jesus we are promised eternal life, an unhindered, |
| 1:29.6 | unveiled communion with our Creator. To live with vision for eternity is to trust that things are not |
| 1:35.6 | as they will be, and to surrender the entirety of this life with hope for the next. When we live |
| 1:41.7 | seeking satisfaction from the things of this world, we live as if heaven didn't |
| 1:46.4 | exist and God didn't usher in his kingdom through Jesus. The things of this world only have |
| 1:52.5 | value in the giver of all good gifts. So our possessions, relationships, and work only have value |
| 1:58.6 | here because they are a shadow of what is to come when all things |
| 2:02.7 | are made new. Having vision for eternity should lead us to create boundaries around everything |
