The Purpose of Life

1 Timothy 6.7

Sermon by Dr Peter Masters

Life’s end point challenges all our values and goals. Is there a ‘next world’? Here are the indications. Also, God’s amazing description of Himself, our alienation from Him, and how we may be reconciled to be sure of safe passage on the ultimate day of life.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. (1 Timothy 6:7)


The deeper things of life are so easily crowded out today. Here at the Metropolitan Tabernacle we cater for the needs of the soul.

Permit me, as a pastor for many years, to plead with you not to let the ultimate meaning and purpose of life pass you by. True fulfilment and happiness depends on knowing who we are, and knowing the Lord, our Creator. Don’t let yourself be swept away, programmed and ruled by the shallow things of materialism and hedonism. We need God and one day we must give account to Him.

-Dr Peter Masters
