Making your Goals Plain 2

Opening Prayer

Everlasting Father, who is gracious into us; I come to you tonight as humbly as I know how. Grateful to be counted among the saints tonight; Father we want to thank you for our many blessings: Father I thank you for the blessing of being tiered this evening. For if we were not provided work and lives by your hand we’d have nothing to be tired from. Lord I thank you for the presence of the people in this place; I thank you for all the people on the rostrum today who used their gifts in service to others and to you as we worshiped this evening. O Holy Father giver of life we thank you for those who serve both in our seeing and particularly those who serve out of the sight of the church, we thank you for their service and their hearts to be of service. I ask Father, that you would bless them for their sacrifice.

Father I thank you for Elder Gary’s Kingdom kids. We ask that as he teaches today that the children, bless Father those children and their households. Father we thank you for the Cross trainers and Pastor deadra, who ministers to them. Lord keep the Cross Trainers from the harmful temptation of growing up to fast. Father please give those young ones a heart to hear your voice and walk in the way of your word.

Father we thank you for the youth and Cheri and pastor D ’Linn; who teach them. I ask that these teens would see your face and know their strength in this house. As they come into adult hood let them know you, but also let them know who they are. Father, I ask that you put a hedge of protection around them. Father help us to walk in a way before them that would cause them to want to know you more and serve you better then we have in this generation.

Lord. We thank you also for the transportation ministry and those who when we are all home are still ministering to kids by delivering them home safe and sound and in the spirit of the Lord.

Father, we thank you for those that cooked, served and cleaned up after the meal. Bless them as they have blessed us.

We thank you Father for the sound people and the visual people who serve in spite of personal health issues. Those that clean the building, keep the nursery and count the offering. Bless them all.

Finally, Lord bless me beyond my own abilities. Take this offering and use it to your glory and bless you people despite my personal frailty, I’ll be careful to give you and praise glory and honor be to you. in Jesus Name, amen.

​Introduction: Last week we discussed:

last week i asked three questions:

do you know what God is doing in your life?

have you asked God what He is doing in your life?

how would the knowledge of what God is doing in your life change your life ?

I wonder how many people looked at these questions this week ? i’d like to give you a few minutes to look at that.

if you know what God is doing in this life it helps you to know what you should be working on.

if you don’t Know who you are then its very hard to be unified with anyone else.

you will blame others for your lack of fulfilment.

you began to look in ungodly places for excitement, which is a Cheap replacement for purpose.

the enemy of our soul will lie to us about life.

when you don’t know what your vision is you cannot own it.

I believe this church is very important to the Body of Christ.

since this church is important to the body of Christ; then you are important to this church.

this church and its ministry hopes to do a number of things:

help you initiate/ or grow in your relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ.

my hope in preaching is that you would seek God’s face and trust His word . not only the Bible but also His voice in your heart.

as a pastor i hope that all of our opportunities for service to others are done with the hope of introducing others to the forgiveness of sins that. only comes through Jesus christ, and a true understanding of self that only comes from the understanding that we were created and we have a creator.

lastly i hope this church helps you in your understanding of the value of your life and its days.

nothing about you is an accident. you are a creation. as a christian you have a direct relationship with the creator.

you are not an accident:

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

. 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret,And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.And in Your book they all were written,The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.

13 For You formed my inward parts;

You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works,

14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Marvelous are Your works,

And that my soul knows very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from You,

5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

When I was made in secret,

5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;

And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Before you were born I sanctified you;

God “ordains” all of us for a number of things; what are the purposes for your life?

16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.

what are you passionate about?

I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

what are you good at ? what things do you do excellent, that comes so natural to you that you don't understand because it comes so natural to you ?

And in Your book they all were written,

4. what burdens do you carry?

what problems do you see that you have a passion to fix?

The New King James Version Chapter 9

36 At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.

At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.

Burdens that come from God are unselfish; 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

The days fashioned for me,

what unique talents do you have?

in , the bible tells us that Joseph interpreted dreams; first for prisoners, and next for Faro.
