A LIFE OF PURPOSE
Maddi Spacht, Pastoral Volunteer
Every single person desires to know what their purpose in life is., but we tend to search for it in all the wrong places; leaving us feeling unfulfilled and empty. For the follower of Jesus, we can discover our true purpose and begin to live it out every single day because God made you on purpose, for a purpose, that is found in Christ.
SERMON FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS:
1. Have you ever struggled to know what your purpose in life is? What sort of things did you try to find purpose in/through?
4. In what ways are you using your unique passions, behavioral tendency, abilities, strengths, etc. to shine the light of Christ?
5. Maddi reminded us that in order to live out our purpose. We have to make sure we are “plugged into the source.” Talk about a time when you tried to live out your purpose on your own. What did you learn from that?
2. Read 1 Peter 2:9-10. What does it mean to you to be chosen by God? How does Maddi’s analogy of darkness to light help you understand your purpose?
3. Read Ephesians 2:10. In what ways has God handcrafted you uniquely?4. In what ways are you using your unique passions, behavioral tendency, abilities, strengths, etc. to shine the light of Christ?
