In this message from Franklin Avenue Baptist Church, the pastor draws on 2 Corinthians 5:17 to remind the congregation that becoming a new creation in Christ is the most consequential decision a person can make. Because that single choice determines where one spends eternity, believers cannot afford to pause their faith practices, prayer, Bible reading, fellowship, or worship, even during the summer season. The sermon calls each listener to a sustained, active trust in God regardless of life's circumstances or distractions.

Continuing to read the Bible, pray, attend church, and fellowship is essential for spiritual growth and remaining a light in the world, regardless of the season or how relaxed life feels.
Based on 2 Corinthians 5:17, the sermon teaches that when anyone accepts Christ, old things pass away and all things become new. This decision is the most important a person can make because it determines where they spend eternity, transforming them into a born-again believer.
The sermon draws from 1 Corinthians 11:23-29, teaching that communion is a remembrance of Christ's broken body and shed blood. Jesus went to Calvary out of unconditional, unmerited love, and believers participate in the Lord's Supper to proclaim his death until he returns.
