PART 3: A Display Piece, A CD Rack, and An Exotic Gift

God has given each of us a purpose.
Work for God’s glory and grow other disciples
-- OR --
Be a decoration in a church building.

“I must discover God’s purpose for my life,
and I must fulfill that purpose.”

Ever feel like a ship without a rudder??

“More people fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent.” (Billy Sunday)

Genesis 1:26-28

The very first thing God wanted us to know about:
HE is at the beginning of it all.

Genesis 1:1... denies Atheism, with its doctrine of “no God”; and sets the foundation for the entire Bible = God

The PURPOSE is “the WHY”.
Ephesians 2:10

How do we find our unique purpose?

1, It starts with obedience to God
Numbers 9:23
2, Continues as we trust God with our lives
Proverbs 3:4-6
Matthew 6:33
3, Becomes clearer as we strive to become more like Jesus
2 Thessalonians 1:11
Romans 8:29
1 John 3:2

What is YOUR Purpose?
Are YOU fulfilling it?
