Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesWorship Service Message - Sunday, October 19, 2025For many of us, it may come down to waking up one day and deciding that what you have been going through is no longer what you want to go through. You decide that it is time to make a change and take deliberate steps to do things differently and do life to be better every day. That is what it means to live intentionally. We are to live each day with purpose. Jesus commands us to do exactly that.#gameshow #aficionado #thepriceisright #drewcarey #carey #host #share #mentalhealth #health #care #friend #rightthing #rightthingtodo #bobbarker #interview #cbsnews #cbs #depression #suicide #intent #intentional #scripture #maybe #eternallife #faith #JesusChrist #Christ #Jesus #unbelief #warning #believe #god #futility #meaningless #everything #HolySpirit #Spirit #love #purpose #pray #leaning #abundantlife #abundant #body #temple #wellbeing
