This Very Night: Learning to Number Our Days
Message by George Chang, 15 Mar 2026, 10am service
Main Passage: Psalm 90:12, Luke 12:16-21

1. Numbering Our Days — Personal Reflection
   Psalm 90:12 says, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
    When you think about your current season of life, are you living with the awareness that time is limited?
    What are some ways you may be assuming “there will always be tomorrow”?
    If your remaining years w need ere fewer than you expect, what priorities would to change?
   Leader tip: Encourage honest reflection, not theoretical answers.
2. Success and Subtle Drift
   In Deuteronomy 8 and Luke 12, we see how abundance can quietly replace dependence on God.
    In what areas of your life (career, family, finances, comfort, reputation) are you most vulnerable to self-sufficiency?
    How can success slowly redefine our identity without us noticing?
    What practical habits help you “remember the Lord your God” in seasons of prosperity?
   Optional follow-up: Is spiritual drift more dangerous in hardship or success? Why?
3. Remaining in Christ Is Not Autopilot
   Jesus commands, “Remain in Me…apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:4–5)
    What does “remaining” look like practically in your weekly rhythm?
    Is your walk with Christ intentional or mostly reactive?
    Are there signs in your life that suggest spiritual vitality or subtle withering?
   Be specific: Word, prayer, worship, community, obedience.
4. Finishing Well
   Jesus’ parables (Luke 12; Matthew 25) remind us that it is not how we begin, but how we finish.
   • What does “finishing well” mean to you personally?
   • If Christ were to return “this very night,” would there be anything unfinished in your obedience?
   • What one concrete step can you take this week to live more ready?
