The Marks of a Disciple: Living with an Eternal Perspective
Being a follower of Christ entails more than a rote routine of religious activity. Many of us want to be like Christ, but other desires crowd out our longing to be with Him. When this happens, we might view our relationship with Him as a series of tasks to be check off a list instead of as a wellspring of nourishment and vitality. The nine marks of a disciple remind us of the areas in which we ought to reorient our desires so we will truly follow hard after our Shepherd. An Eternal Perspective The first of those marks is perspective—cultivating an eternal perspective in this temporal arena. Our earthly sojourn is brief. We do not know how long our life will be, but we do know that death is certain. As George Bernard Shaw pointed out, “The statistics on death are impressive. One out of one dies.” However, many people do not live as if death is certain. They postpone what really matters in their pursuits of worldly trivialities. But if we are to be followers of Christ, we need to live with the end in mind. This is not to be morbid, but it is to live with the wisdom Moses gives us in Psalm 90:12: “So teach us to number our days, that we may present to You a heart of wisdom.” Investing Our Time Wisely As we remember the brevity of our earthbound sojourn, we must acknowledge the urgency of investing our time wisely. We need to be living in the precious present in light of eternity. In this soul-forming world, many things will clamor for our attention. However, the things of this world will pass away, and hope in them will ultimately fail us. We need to use our time wisely, remembering to store up treasure in heaven rather than on earth (Matthew 6:19–20). After all, only hope in God will satisfy us in the end, for He is eternal.

The Wisdom of Surrender: Trusting God’s Sovereign Counsel
We learn true wisdom when we look at the character of God, because He is the source of all wisdom. Three verses in Proverbs illustrate the sovereignty of the God behind all wisdom. 1. God’s Counsel Is Permanent All human wisdom apart from God is temporary. Proverbs 19:21 reads, “Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord will stand” (NASB1995). Notice the contrast in this verse: we make many plans, but God has only one counsel. Our plans are temporary and tentative, but God’s plan is permanent and will always be accomplished. When we seek to align ourselves with our own plans rather than with God’s, they will not ultimately be established. Plans apart from God will not last in the long run. 2. God’s Plan Is Best for Us God invites us to participate in His sovereign plan, which is holy and good for us. The more we resist God’s plan, thinking we have a better idea of what is good for us, the more we will harden ourselves against the voice of the Holy Spirit. But to do so is dangerous and will ultimately fail (Proverbs 21:30). We need to beware of deceiving ourselves about what is best for us. After all, disobedience only displays its pleasures to us and not its consequences. We need to examine our hearts and ask the Holy Spirit to convict us when we begin to go astray, that we may surrender to Him and place our trust in Him instead of in ourselves. 3. Everything Is about God As we make plans, we need to recognize God’s sovereignty in all things. God is the One who ultimately gives us victory (Proverbs 21:31). Our confidence, then, ought to be in God, and not in our own human means. Wisdom is about radical dependence on God, recognizing that He is the One who fulfills all the longings of our heart.

Numbering Our Days: Finding Wisdom in the Passage of Life
How many of us wish that we could stay the same age forever? But we are all embedded in space and time. Every one of us experiences birth, growth, decay, and death. Thomas Cole's four Voyage of Life paintings follow this pattern, but the pattern happens so slowly that we might think our lives are permanent. Yet, Psalm 90:12 says, "So teach us to number our days, that we may present to you a heart of wisdom" (NASB). We cannot stop the clock. If we could, we would never gain an eternal perspective on life. Age conspires with God to take away our temporal hope. After all, the course of our life prepares us in this present darkness for eternal light in our Father's house. This is a teaching series based on Thomas Cole’s Voyage of Life painting series. These four paintings depict the cyclical dynamics of human life, as signified by the artwork’s titles: Childhood, Youth, Manhood, and Old Age. You can view these paintings in person at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1402/29

Returning to God in Times of Crisis
Dr. Boa starts his journey through the book of Jeremiah, entering deeper into the prophet’s extraordinary calling and the spiritual landscape of Judah’s unfolding crisis. Jeremiah’s ministry reveals both the seriousness of Israel’s covenant unfaithfulness and the unwavering faithfulness of God, who persistently calls His people back to Himself. We explore how Jeremiah embodies a life formed by God’s word—speaking truth with compassion, confronting sin with clarity, and offering hope even in the midst of impending judgment. His message reminds us that turning away from the living God always leads to brokenness, yet returning to Him opens the way to renewal and restoration. As always, our aim in this study is to understand the text in its historical context while drawing out its enduring relevance for the disciple’s journey today. Jeremiah challenges us to examine our loyalties, to reject false sources of security, and to anchor our lives in the One who remains faithful through every generation.

Grace, Faith, and the Righteousness of God
We begin our journey through one of the most profound and transformative letters ever written. Paul’s message in Romans lays out the power of the gospel, the reality of human sin, and the beauty of God’s saving righteousness revealed in Christ. From the very start, Paul declares that the gospel “is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes," a truth that frames the entire study. This opening session sets the stage by exploring Paul’s purpose in writing, the historical context of the early church in Rome, and the themes of grace, faith, and new life that will unfold throughout the series. Romans invites us to see ourselves honestly, recognize our need for redemption, and marvel at the God who justifies the ungodly through Christ.
