Nothing Lasts forever

We all have probably heard the expression "nothing lasts forever." And in the physical realm this is certainly true. One of the purposes for our keeping the feast of Tabernacles is to remind us each year of this fact. In this sermon Mr. Smith refers to the above expression but then reminds us that God wants us to look beyond the physical. So we need to consider how we are to make the most of this life in preparing for the life to come that will last forever.
