    Finding Your Place Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 10, 2009
     | 5,645 views

    How do you get a sense of well being, identity and purpose? Is it by how you feel inside and how you compare to others outside? Paul gives us some wonderful advice on how to deal with this as a member of the body of Christ.

    Last time we talked about how to respond to God’s mercy—by making ourselves available to God by putting ourselves on the altar as a living sacrifice, shunning the molding of the world on our character externally, while embracing the transformation of our character internally by the presence of the ...read more

    • By our name? By our job? • By our income level? • We can be accomplished and have many people admire us and gain a positive reputation.

    INTRODUCTION: How do we identify ourselves? • By our name? By our job? • By our income level? • We can be accomplished and have many people admire us and gain a positive reputation. However, that doesn’t mean we won’t still wonder who we really are. Illustration Take Nicole Kidman. She is an ...read more

    Nothing is more important than to know God in a deep personal way, to Seek God with all your heart, mind, and strength.

    Knowing God Hosea 4:6 Nothing is more important than to know God in a deep personal way, to Seek God with all your heart, mind, and strength. We must not be like those of Hosea’s day who were "destroyed for a lack of knowledge..." Hos 4:6 Anybody can know God even in a vast empty ...read more

    Christians today have both a negative and a positive role in society. The negative role is to restrain evil. The positive role is to spread the Gospel and do good works.

    1. The first purpose God has for the church today is preservation 2. The second purpose God has for the church today is propagation MATTHEW 5:13-16 I’ve got a book at home called Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave. Some of the names might not ring a bell.

    God created us on purpose for His purposes.

    On Tuesday of this week, another world record was broken when the population of our planet topped 8 billion people! I’m not quite sure what baby’s birth put us over the top, or even how they count this, but it’s fair to say humankind has kept at least one of God’s commands which is to “be fruitful ...read more

    “I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard; I hid not my face from disgrace and spitting.” (Isaiah 50:6)

    Introduction: Palm Sunday begins the final week of Jesus Christ’s life on earth. It begins with His Triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Jesus was known to travel on foot or by boat on a few occasions but this time He chose to ride on a donkey for the first time. He was welcomed with the waving of ...read more

    The call to work out our salvation with fear and trembling is not an exercise of futility but one that is not only attainable but an expectation from the Lord because He is the one who works in us to will and act to fulfill His purpose!

    God saves you FROM sin. He saves you FOR a purpose. He saves you BY His grace.

    There is a purpose in everything we do. • We do not wake up every morning and then go through the motions of living. We make plans and seek to achieve something. It is odd to do anything without purpose. • If we know that, then we can expect God to have a purpose when He sent Jesus ...read more

     | 8,427 views

    Attaining the church's purpose is about "keeping the main thing the main thing." People must not only "know" the core values, but they must also "hear" them continually restated so they can envision what they're working towards.

    Proverbs states, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Bill Hybels, in his book Courageous Leadership, tells us, “When a leader is casting a vision publicly the goal is to help people know, understand, and remember the ‘main thing’.”(1) Purpose is all about keeping ...read more

    Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more
