Today's message delves into the profound biblical truth that "to live is Christ and to die is gain." Together, we explore the great promise given to the Christian believer: if you live for Christ, passing from this life brings not loss, but a wonderful gain—more of Christ Himself. Join us as Pastor Colin explores this encouraging message, reminding us that living for Christ transforms our perspective on life and death.

If you live for the temporary pleasures of this world, passing away means losing everything you have lived for. But for those who live for Christ, it brings the ultimate gain, as we step into His presence and see His glory more fully. Our understanding is deepened with today's passage from John Chapter 17, in which Jesus prays for all believers to be with Him and to see His glory.

This session also contemplates the Christian life and the joy of spending eternity with Christ, looking at the incredible love and commitment Jesus has for each of His followers. We discover the importance of filling our "For me to live is..." blank with Christ, as the only way to turn death into gain.
