Next week we wrap up our series A wilderness Adventure, today I want to spend a few minutes talking about this experience as it relates to our lives and how short they really are, compared to the long term.

II Corinthians 4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

Why the Hard times!

II Corinthians 4:17

For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!

Our Response

II Corinthians 4:18

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
