Making a Difference with Love: Discover Your Purpose

The person who changed the course of the world was an usher. We all have a calling. Yeah. We are to serve God in all that we do. And, God, this is how we change the world. This is how love will change the world when we all play our part. When this is why sharing the gospel is so important. [01:02:34] (38 seconds)  #EveryJobMatters

His perfect will will be executed on earth through imperfect people. Yeah. And when we learn to serve God with imperfect people, we start to realize it's not about the people necessarily. It's about trusting God first. God's Jesus said this, these commandments I give you, love God first, then love people. You can't love people until you love God. Only God can show you how to love people. This don't happen in the four walls of your home, though. You gotta get out. [00:56:33] (39 seconds)  #ImperfectPeoplePerfectPlan

Because when we invite someone to church, that person has an opportunity to accept Jesus into their lives, have their sins forgiven, have their lives changed. They discover purpose, and they begin to help others. And slowly but surely, we just start to see the impact god has for our community, god has for our homes, our neighborhoods, our counties, our cities, our nation. This is god's plan in action. This is god's plan in action. This is what making a difference with love looks like. [01:03:24] (37 seconds)  #GospelChangesCommunities

But understand your purpose is inviting people into the beloved community because purpose is only found when you connect to God himself. See, like I said earlier, everything in life works according to its purpose except for mankind. For some reason, when we got free will when he made us, we wanna do everything else in life to make life work for us outside of the purpose. Come on. Example. This handheld vacuum has a creator, a design, and a purpose. It only works when you charge it. [00:49:16] (46 seconds)  #PurposeConnectToGod

Human in us keep trying to oh, that person's definitely the nose. No. That's definitely the eye there. We don't know what body part we are. We're just called. There is no big and small. It's all part of God's plan. You're a masterpiece. God created you for a purpose, a big purpose. Man can't define for you your significance in life. Only God can. And you only discover it as you serve. You only discover it as you serve. [00:58:19] (36 seconds)  #ServeToDiscoverPurpose

We are god's masterpiece. This is the good news of the gospel. You see, pastor talked about this last week. In Colossians chapter one sixteen, we find that all things were created in God and for God. All things. And everything in the earth works the way God intended it except for mankind. Mankind, for some strange reason, rebelled against God, and we disconnected. And through that disconnected connectedness, man fell, turned away from God, sin and the curse came into the earth, and so did a purposelessness in life. [00:42:57] (55 seconds)  #CreatedForGodsPlan

This is the problem of mankind. This is what sin produces. We wanna do it our own way, and we can't function. Your neighbors, your coworkers, the people in your class, they're not functioning. But you have the answer. You know the answer where everyone, no matter their background, can operate as they were designed. Yeah. Come on. This is why we invite people to church. We wanna introduce you to the man. It's not about us. It's about the king. Purpose. [00:50:48] (52 seconds)  #BringPeopleToTheKing

The good news of the gospel is Jesus came to save everyone, redeem everyone, and call everyone. Pastor read in first Corinthians 12 last week where he said, we are all a part of one body, the body of Jesus. This is the kingdom of heaven. This is the kingdom of God, one body, but many members. We all have different parts to play. But only when the whole body comes together as one, submitted to one head, does the body succeed on the earth? [00:45:23] (44 seconds)  #OneBodyManyMembers
