Its not about you . . . You were created
by God and for God, and untl you understand that, life will never
make sense. It is only in God that we discover our origin, our
identty, our meaning, our purpose, our signifcance, and our
destny. Every other path leads to a dead end.

Our sermon series for the next six weeks will focus on Gods
purpose for each of us:

You were planned for God's pleasure
so your frst purpose is to ofer real worship.

You were formed for God's family
so your second purpose is to enjoy real fellowship.

You were created to become like Christ,
so your third purpose is to learn real discipleship.

You were shaped for serving God
so your fourth purpose is to practce real ministry.

You were made for a mission
so your ffh purpose is to live out real evangelism.
