God promises to renew, reenergize, and revive His people when they have grown weary. Isaiah 40:28-31 uses a similitude to describe the people of God. He says that they shall mount up with “wings like eagles.”To wait upon the Lord means to spread your wings of faith and obedience. And the Holy Spirit, like the wind beneath your wings, will carry you high and far, even above the storms. The abundant life is the spirit-filled life! It’s spreading your wings of faith and obedience, so the Spirit of God completely controls your life. Join Pastor Phil Hopper for a special 25-year anniversary sermon where he teaches us what it means to wait on the Lord and mount up with wings like eagles.Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/ Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Living with an eternal perspective changes how you live and how you give. In his letter to the Philippians, the Apostle Paul encouraged the believers to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus and invest in things that will last for eternity. A focus on eternity is reflected in two ways: The way you LIVE and the way you GIVE! Money is necessary, but it is never the ultimate priority when you have an eternal perspective. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he teaches how the abundant life is marked by living purposefully, giving generously, and focusing on eternity. Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/ Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?
