Aging Well
Jan 31, 2025 • Thailer Jimerson
Aging is inevitable, but aging well is a choice. Psalm 78 reminds us that God's design for a flourishing community is one where the older generation invests in the younger, passing down wisdom rather than retreating into nostalgia. Through the stories of Hezekiah’s shortsightedness and Abraham’s long-term vision, this sermon explores what it means to leave a legacy that outlives us.
