130. Reasons to Die for Jesus #3 “Finishing well”
Listen now
Description
In this third podcast with Floyd, we continue to be challenged to “finish well”. Floyd speaks this challenge to us from a well of experience and heart. Floyd’s love for Jesus and his determination to be passionate to the end of his days speaks deeply to our hearts calling us to walk away from mediocrity and embrace our call, our God-given gifts and the opportunity to impact and influence many around us.  We are in a battle for passion. The world is out to capture your passions. Floyd begins this message by remembering his family and the impact that his parents had on his life particularly his father. His father was a man of humility, deep passion, led a long-life of serving the gospel and he finished well.  Floyd estimates that 80-85% of spiritual leaders do not finish the race well. But what does it mean to finish well? According to Floyd it is to: end with more passion that you began with be true to who you are and what God has put into you accomplish the assignment that God has for your life be fruitful and to pass on to others who pass onto others what God has given to you.  Drawing on Paul’s final letter, 2 Timothy written whilst facing his own death, Floyd highlights some of the key parting words that Paul gave to Timothy. Australian society could be turned upside down if the 3-4% of the evangelical/protestant believers in this country just said, “I’m going to be on fire for Jesus and no one can take that away from me.” As you listen to Floyd, ask the Holy Spirit to help you to stir up the passion in your life. Ask God to show you if there is anything in your life that has taken the place of Jesus and caused you to become compromised.  Ask God to help you to live well so that you finish well. “ ...the issue isn’t will we die but will we die well.
