Sermon Theme: Eternal life in God's kingdom isn't based on our worthiness but on His grace and generosity to those who repent, believe, and display their faith as humble servants (last place living). Therefore, it is worth it for us to humbly follow Christ as His servants that we might be exalted to eternal life!
