Bro. Nick Wright’s message focused on the brevity and purpose of life, drawing from Psalm 90 and Psalm 39. He emphasized that while life is short and uncertain, God is eternal and unchanging. We are encouraged to “number our days” and apply our hearts to wisdom, making the most of the time God gives us. The sermon challenged listeners to live intentionally for God, cherish each day, and trust Him with their lives. Bro. Nick reminded us that our hope is in the Lord, and that our lives should be marked by wisdom, faith, and a focus on eternal things rather than temporary pursuits.
