“I Can Only Imagine”

“I Can Only Imagine” depicts the true backstory of the creation of the song, “I Can Only Imagine” by Bart Millard of the band MercyMe. 

The song, which has brought so much hope and joy to millions of listeners, did not have such a  cheerful beginning. 

In the movie, Millard, the lead singer of MercyMe, describes what life circumstances led to the creation of the song. He teaches us that sometimes the most beautiful things in life are borne out of the most painful experiences.

“Don’t Waste Your Life” by John Piper

In this humorous and inspiring sermon, John Piper explores the importance of making the most of the limited time we have. Piper says that there are three great truths that if understood would allow someone to live their life well. He quotes from C.T. Studd, “Only one life, twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.” Do our choices really matter? Piper would answer with an ecstatic, “Yes!” 

Each. Day. Counts. So, live well.
