Today's Message: LIVING MY PURPOSE

Finding your purpose is not enough; you must live them out. In reality, it's not your purpose; it's God's!

Living my purpose is...
1. Becoming what God Created me to be.
—Growth & Character Factor
“From the very beginning God decided that those who came to Him – and He knew who would – should become like His Son...”--Rom. 8:29 (LB)

“God wants us to grow up ... like Christ in everything.” —Eph 4: 15 (Mess)

Living my purpose is...
2. Obeying what God Expects me to do.
—Obedience Factor
“But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” James 1: 22

John Maxwell said, “We are educated way beyond our level of obedience.”

Living my purpose is...
3. Doing what God Calls me to do.
—Doing and Service Factor
“For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” --Ephesians 2: 10 (NIV)

"It is God himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others."--Ephesians 2: 10 (LB)

MY REFLECTION
1. Am I becoming what God made and created me to be?
2. Am I obeying what God commanded and expected me to do?
3. Am I doing what God wired and called me to do? 

MY COMMITMENT
1. I will start living God's purpose for my life.
2. I will develop areas where God's purpose is lacking in my life.
3. I will seek further steps to live out God's purpose for my life.
