In this message, Hezekiah Trevino reflects on Acts 20 and asks what it means to live a life that truly matters. Looking at the Apostle Paul’s farewell to the Ephesian elders, he contrasts a purpose built on comfort, success, or self-fulfillment with one anchored in obedience to Jesus, even when it involves hardship. He explains that real stability comes not from protecting our own lives but from finishing the “race” Christ has set before us. The message closes by reminding listeners that purpose is grounded in God’s grace, belonging, and identity—not in circumstances—and invites them to remember that through communion.
