“More Than the Moment: Living Now in Light of Eternity” - 5pm The River Service

Apr 19, 2026 • The Rev. Billy Cerveny

This sermon uses a childhood story about a jean vest to illustrate how easily we mistake temporary desires and present circumstances for ultimate realities . It explains that Peter calls believers to lift their perspective beyond the immediacy of life and anchor their understanding in the future hope of God’s coming kingdom. The message emphasizes that resurrection is not an escape from the physical world but God’s plan to renew and restore all things, beginning even now through the life of Christ within believers. Ultimately, it teaches that holiness and faithful living are not about earning salvation but participating in God’s ongoing work, where even present actions carry eternal significance.
