Key Theme:
Kingdom-oriented decision-making flows from an eternal perspective that produces undivided devotion to Christ.
Key Application:
Before making a decision, ask: Does this choice help me live with greater eternal focus, less entanglement in worldly concerns, and deeper devotion to the Lord?
Key Verses:
1 Corinthians 7:35 “I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.”
Key Questions:
1. When you make big decisions (career, family, finances), what are the top 2–3 factors that actually drive your thinking?
2. If someone watched your life decisions, would they conclude that you believe this world is temporary or permanent?
3. How can you tell the difference between responsible living and unhealthy entanglement?
4. If your current circumstances never changed (job, relationship status, etc.), could you still live with joy and purpose? Why or why not?

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
