Why is it important for Christians to choose faith over worldly pleasures?

Choosing faith over worldly pleasures is vital for Christians because it demonstrates a commitment to God's eternal promises over temporary, fleeting satisfaction. The sermon highlights that even though Moses could have indulged in the luxuries of Egypt, he chose to suffer affliction with God's people, valuing the reproach of Christ as greater riches. This choice illustrates that true faith results in prioritization of eternal values and alignment with God's purposes, challenging believers to count the cost of discipleship and embrace a life reflecting Christ’s values, even amidst societal pressures.
