This series, we are looking at the big questions in life: “why am I here?”
“what is my life about?”
“Why are any of us here?”
Life is confusing.
There’s so much good that happens, but there’s also plenty of bad.
When the bad times come, we slow down and think about the big picture.
I want to give you some things to think about as explore our PURPOSE in life.
What is our Purpose?
Things have purposes, right?
They were created for a reason, to do something.
It’s straight-up goofy to think about some of the weird ways people use inventions for the wrong reasons.
right?
You don’t:
cook with a toilet plunger
use a smartphone as target practice
wear spaghetti
use a game controller as a foot massager
try to play DVDs in a VHS player.
These inventions were designed for a specific reason.
Design is all around us!
Everything from your pencil, to your smartphone, your shoes, your glasses, your toothpaste, your deodorant, your vehicle, this church building - they were designed!
I don’t necessarily mean they are “designer” as in they are fashionable or trendy.
Some of the inventions we use everyday are ugly, but they were designed for a purpose.
Isn’t that cool to think about?! Guess what?
You were designed for a PURPOSE.
Have you considered this before?
What do you think your purpose is?
I hope you’re thinking about this now.
This is really cool!
SO what is our purpose?
Before we get there, let’s clarify something.
You were DESIGNED for a purpose.
before we get to trying to figure out our purpose, wouldn’t it be wise to turn to our designer to see what he had to say about us?
People try to figure out their purpose all the TIME without listening to God on this matter.
Listen to this though, You can’t tell you what your purpose is, because you didn’t make you!
Only your creator can tell you why you’re alive.
What is this for?
hold strange itemIf you don’t know you have two options to figure it out, ask the creator or read the manual.
Cool, right?
Jesus can tell us why we’re here!
You were made by God, for God! Until you understand that, life is going to be confusing!
Your purpose comes from God.
Let that sink in.
I think a lot of our frustration in life comes from us misunderstanding (or missing entirely) our purpose.
Have you ever tried to loosen a flathead screw with a Phillips head screwdriver?
It doesn’t work and it’s frustrating.
Ya’ll, that’s why our lives can be really frustrating.
We try to be someone we aren’t meant to be or do things we weren’t meant to do.
We look to the people around us to learn who we’re supposed to be.
That leaves us jealous, lonely, sad, bitter, lustful, and unfulfilled-always wanting more.
When we look to God to see who we are supposed to be, we find meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.
This life is meant to prepare us for eternity.
We were meant to exist forever!
After we die, we will exist forever.
I hope, all of us here chose to follow God and live in heaven!
Our lives now are dress rehearsals for what we will be doing for eternity!
God created you so he could love you!
he wants you to be here!
He values you!
God created you to be you!
God takes pleasure when you are being you!
We are the FOCUS of God’s love.
We are different from all other creation.
God loves us and he wants us to learn to love him back.
Life is all about love.
The most important thing you can know in life is that God loves you, the most important thing you can do in life is love him back.
That’s what makes us different from dogs, cats, animals, nature, the stars.
God gave us choice!
He lets us choose what to do with our lives, who to love.
But don’t miss this! (repeat statement)
Every morning, get up and pray “God I want to know you better today and love you more”.
If everything sucks in your day, but you can say you know God better and love him more, the day is a success.
but if you get all the $ in the world, become super famous, if you’re elected president and become super powerful, but you at the end of the day if you don’t know God better and love him more, you wasted that day.
Your purpose is to know and love God
Do you know and love God?
How do we grow in this?
Start today and continue tomorrow.
