    I have been a pastor 45 years... I am sad to say as a whole few know their spiritual purpose. If we do not know our purpose how will we ever accomplish God's goals?

    Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jun 18, 2001
    based on 48 ratings
     | 16,479 views

    Someone who sits idly without a purpose is an easy target for temptation. We are easily drawn away when we don’t have a purpose we are reaching for. When we are reaching ahead, we have to stop and change directions in order to sin.

    Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose The final step I want to focus on in overcoming sinful habits is your purpose. Each of our lives has been created by God for a purpose. As long as we are living outside of that purpose, there will be emptiness and a desire to crowd our lives with pleasures and ...read more

    As people respond to Mel Gibson’s film, there is one truth that must be made clear: Neither the Jews nor the Romans had power to put Christ to death apart from His voluntary act. "No man takes my life from Me. I have power to lay it down and to take it ag

    To live effective lives as Jesus’ disciples we need to pray.

    I’ve preached on prayer many times and I’ve tried to do it in such a way that you will be able to easily remember how to pray and to be motivated to pray. Yet I don’t think we are taking full advantage of this most powerful and useful resource we have as Christians. So, I am beginning a four week ...read more

    Like the Israelites, too often we grumble about our lot in life. May the Lord lead us to repentance...and thankfulness!

    Lent IV Numbers 21:4-9 “Are we there yet? How much longer?” Anyone who has ever taken a long car journey with children has heard those questions. They are questions that stem from impatience, from boredom, and maybe even a little lack of trust that the driver really knows where they’re going. Now ...read more

    We prefer full over empty! Jesus says He came that we might have abundant (full) life. Do we? Do we even know what we should be full of?

    Full Pt. 3 - Purpose Full I. Introduction Are you full? If so, what are you full of? Your "fullness" will determine what overflows to every area of your life. And yet the truth is that if we find ourselves closer to the "e" than the "f" we are in the majority. In a recent study of 1,000 churches ...read more

     | 6,246 views

    To accomplish God’s good purpose, we are to respect all people, love other believers, fear God, and honor those who rule over us - even when something doesn’t seem good to us. These kinds of actions may fan a spark of belief in those who observe our respo

    Opening illustration: Sometimes when I want to start a fire, the wind puts it out. But when I try to keep a fire burning, wind keeps it going. So, in the first situation, I label wind “bad” because it thwarts my plans; in the other, I label it “good” because it helps me ...read more

    God's Purpose For Us

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 20, 2022
     | 3,042 views

    These verses show that God's purpose is to provide good for those who love Him and are the called. So what does it mean: "called according to His purpose"? I think the context of this statement provides the answer.
