*Shaped for Serving God*
*Purpose driven Life # 5*
*October 23, 2004** and **October 24, 2004*

*Introduction*
This is part five of the purpose driven life.
Last week we talked about */discipleship/*.
Before that */fellowship/* and */worship/*.
Remember I said that you probably won’t encounter new information as much as getting what you know deeper into your heart.
The conclusion of the matter is to gain a strong sense that you have a purpose from God, in eternity but also in this life.
In the clip we saw the people were giving their definition or their idea of success.
Elvis Presley is still as famous as ever if not more so.
According to worldly standards he was very successful.
He died at age 42 of drug abuse and obesity.
His wife Priscilla said this about him: *“Elvis never came to terms with who he was meant to be.
Or what his purpose in life was.
He thought he was here for a reason, maybe to preach, maybe to serve, maybe to save, maybe to care for people.
That agonizing desire was always with him and he knew he wasn’t fulfilling it.
So he’d go on stage and he wouldn’t have to think about it.”*
If you knew anything about Elvis he was always giving away cars and stuff.
He had a deep desire to serve but never got to really do it.
We all have that deep desire.
That is what we are talking about today.
We get a chance to discover what Elvis never did.
*“We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good *
*works**, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” **Eph.
**2:10** (NIV)*
*/ /*
*/10/**/ For we are God’s masterpiece.
He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
(NLT)/*

-We are the work of a master craftsman.
-I love to see people do things with wood or something where they really do a good job.
Ronnie did this platform and it was great to watch him do it.
*-*I can barely whittle a whistle.
-The word for masterpiece~/workmanship is the word:
/4161 //ποίημα [poiema ~/poy·ay·mah~/] “thing that is made” once, and “workmanship” once. 1 that which has been made.
2 a work.
2a of the works of God as creator.*[1]*
/
-That is the root word for poem and poetry.
-God designed that into you.
*Example*
In addition to Mt. Rushmore, one of Gutzin Borglum's great works as a sculptor is the head of Lincoln in the Capitol at Washington.
He cut it from a large, square block of stone in his studio.
One day, when the face of Lincoln was just becoming recognizable out of the stone, a young girl was visiting the studio with her parents.
She looked at the half-done face of Lincoln, her eyes registering wonder and astonishment.
She stared at the piece for a moment then ran to the sculptor.
"Is that Abraham Lincoln?" she asked.
"Yes."
"Well," said the little girl, "how in the world did you know he was inside there?"

*“Your hands shaped me and made me.”**
Job 10:8 (NIV)*
* *
-This message talks about 5 unique things that God put in you to determine your uniqueness.
Why are you who you are?
*/Spiritual Gifts/**/ Heart Abilities Personality Experiences/*
*/ /*
-Dave Embrey taught something similar and he used the acrostic: */DESIGN/*
*/Desires/**/~/Experiences~/Skills~/Individual personal style~/Gifts~/Niche/*
*/ /*
-The real key is discovering and recognizing your uniqueness.
-When I was a teenager there was a song by Peter Frampton that said; “I love your way”.
I think that is a good word to use for YOU.
Your way.
Who you are as a sum of all of the things God put in you.
-To go through life without unwrapping the package isn’t good.
-You and I need to discover, develop and use our God given gifts to bless others.
*“Each one should use whatever gift he’s received to serve others.”
*
* **1 Pet.
**4:10** (NIV) *

*MY 4th PURPOSE IS TO*
*SERVE GOD BY SERVING OTHERS*
* *
-The word for this is ministry.
-I don’t like to use that word much because it is pregnant with all sorts of religious connotations.
-When we say ministry we think preaching and singing and being admired by others.
That is just */Charismatic show business/*.
-There is a difference between what is prominent and what is essential.
Your nose is prominent but you can live without it.
Your liver is hidden but it is essential.
-We need the wisdom to rightly prioritize.
-The world may never applaud you while you are here.
Are you ok with that or is insecurity driving you to have the acceptance of others.
-The world works to be served.
Jesus showed us the opposite.
*/Jesus: “Your attitude must be like My Own, for I did not come to be/*
*/served, but to serve...” /**/Matt.
/**/20:28/**/ (LB)/*

*/LEARNING TO SERVE LIKE JESUS/*
-Rick Warren brings out that we are practicing here on the earth to serve in eternity.
-You were created to serve at the very core of your being.
-Jesus of course is our model and example.

!!! /1. //SERVING LIKE JESUS MEANS BEING AVAILABLE./
*“Two blind men... shouted, ‘Lord, have mercy on us!’ ... Jesus *
* stopped and called them.
‘What do you want Me to do for you?’*
* He asked.”
**Matt.
20:30-32 (NIV)*

* “Never tell your neighbors to wait until tomorrow if you can *
* help them now.”**
