The Abundant Life

Speakers: Bryan Apinis
Length: 2 Parts

Jesus once told his followers that he longed for them to have not just life, but abundant life—things like joy, peace, hope, belonging, purpose, freedom, and more. But if we’re honest, a lot of times we ask ourselves: where is all that stuff?

While the abundant life awaits us in eternity, there are opportunities for us to experience it in the here and now. But it takes going over a bridge that we don’t always want to cross.

Part 1: The Raging River

Whether it’s loss, rejection, conflict, or a host of other things, difficulties in life happen to all of us. And with those circumstances comes a list of undesirable emotions: anxiety, regret, fear, and so on. That raging river of emotions is what we need to navigate well if we want to experience the abundant life Jesus talked about.

Part 2: The Broken Bridge

There is a bridge to help us cross the raging river of emotions we encounter when life throws something difficult at us. That bridge can get us to the abundant life we desire—a life that has joy, peace, and freedom.
