On Purpose
Feb. 5th 2017
Highlights:
- God has a purpose for your life. You are not a rat and you are not in a race.
- You are not an accident waiting to happen but instead, you are a purpose waiting to be fulfilled.
- The ultimate purpose of man is to glorify God. We cannot give Him glory. We can express to Him how glorious He is.
- We are to enjoy God forever and that starts now.
Discussion Questions:
- We were made for a purpose. How do you know you are in or outside of that purpose?
- How much of God’s call to your purpose depends on you?
- How does fulfilling our God given purpose express the Glory of God?
- What have you received from the Lord as a result of asking and how has it made your joy full?

2 Timothy 1:9 NIV
everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”
Isaiah 43:7 NIV
Glory: weight, splendour, copiousness
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
John 16:24 NIV
