Purpose

Most people have no idea what their life is for—but you were created on purpose and for a purpose. This series looks at how God has uniquely shaped you, how to hear His voice on the specifics of His will, and how even your pain can be put to purpose in His hands. Your life is not an accident.

Seeing Your Life With Purpose

94% of people have no idea what their purpose is in life.

You were created on purpose and for a purpose.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 1:5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”

Psalm 139:13-16 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

YOUniquely Shaped

You were created on purpose and for a purpose.

YOUniquely Shaped

Ecclesiastes 3:1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:

Everything God creates has a purpose, because He is a purposeful God.

The 5 Things that SHAPE:

S – Spiritual gifts
H – Heart
A – Abilities

God Is A Giver

Romans 12:4-8 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. 6 In His grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.

Hearing God On Purpose

We know the general will of God by His Word.

We know the specific will of God by His voice.

#1 God wants to talk to me

John 15:15 I don't call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn't know what his master is doing. But I've called you friends because I've made known to you everything that I've heard from my Father.

One of the marks of a personal relationship with someone is communication.

#2 I can hear God’s voice

As a Christian, hearing God is not something you do, it's someone you are.

John 10:1-4 (NKJV) “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

Pain With A Purpose

Pain Buries Us

We Bury Our Pain

  1. GOD IS GOOD

“Why are you being so mean?”

James 1:13 God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

1 John 1:5 God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

1 Corinthians 14:33 God is not the author of confusion…

Matthew 7:9-11 What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Your personal circumstances are not evidence of how God feels about you.
