The Breakdown | The Trophy Lied To You

What are you giving your life to—and will it still matter years from now?

The Trophy Lied To You

Remember that trophy in that one box in the attic? What was it for? Do you remember? In "The Trophy Lied To You," Pastor James encourages us to consider not giving our lives to things that someone will one day say, "What was this all about?" We want our lives to count, to ache for something more, and Jesus demonstrates in John 13 that love is the decision to move towards people, not merely an emotion.
