About this sermon

Have you ever found yourself asking, “Where did the time go?” In this week’s message, Pastor Scott reflects on how quickly life moves and how easily we get distracted by noise, busyness, and priorities that don’t always lead to real meaning. From back-to-school milestones to shifting seasons, this sermon explores how our culture often pushes us to focus on achievement, wealth, and productivity—while quietly neglecting what matters most: presence, purpose, and people. Pastor Scott unpacks powerful insights from Sahil Bloom’s book on the five types of wealth—time, social, mental, physical, and financial—and ties them beautifully to the way Jesus lived in the Gospel of Matthew. He highlights how Jesus didn’t just preach about love and compassion; He acted on it immediately. Whether healing a leper, stopping for a woman in need, or calming storms, Jesus was never too busy to stop and care. He challenges us not just to know what’s right—but to do it now, not later. This sermon will help you recognize the cost of delay, the importance of focus, and the power of tiny actions taken today. You’ll walk away with practical commitments you can make right now—living beyond friendly, putting others first, striving for excellence, and creating space where everyone belongs. It’s not about perfection—it’s about showing up with intention. Don’t let life rush by. Watch this message and discover how to embrace new rhythms that lead to the kind of life you’re actually longing for—the one filled with meaning, purpose, and love. It’s not too late to stop, care, and live like Jesus—starting now. Highlights: [0:00] - Welcome [0:36] - Reading of Scripture [1:37] - Intro Video [2:19] - Sermon Intro: Where Did All The Time Go?
