Podcast > Larger than Life > Motive January 27, 2009

From fitness clubs to specialized diets to weekend getaways, everyone wants to find that catalyst that takes life to the next level. But improving life is more than simply adjusting a few attitudes or habits. It’s about focusing on God. Yet almost everything we do to improve life is focused on ourselves. So is there really a way to get over our selfish motives? Or does God welcome us, motives and all, when we turn and focus our lives on Him? 

In this message, Ed Young unpacks another powerful principle to living larger than life—prayer. And we see that grasping the motive behind our prayer is just another step we must take on the path toward discovering a larger than life existence.

Larger than Life

Every day, people everywhere resolve to start over. They promise themselves that they will redo, change, shift, or reorder their way into a better existence. Even if life is good, we say, the possibility always exists that life could be great. And the amazing news is that God wants us to have great lives. In fact, he wants us to live larger than life. But how do we do that?

All too often, we think that living large means adding more and more to our already crowded plates. And so we’re always looking for the next deal, the next relationship, the next fun fix to take us to the next level. But Jesus taught us that living large starts with three small, foundational principles.

And in this 3-part series, Ed Young unpacks the power of what Christ talked about 2000 years ago. And as we learn to embrace these principles, we discover not only how to deepen our relationship with God; we also find the keys to living larger than life.
