You Were Created to Become Like Christ!
Thanks be to God for a great start of our “Power of Purpose” September worship. Thanks as well to the Power of Purpose workshop leaders from the “Southwest Florida Blue Zones” where ~40 of us met to (re)discover our purpose, focus or calling! It was time very well spent!
The point last Sunday? The universe is purposeful, not random. There is a Designer, an Initiator. The Scripture’s identify the Designer as Jesus – then add this Truth. The whole purposeful universe isn’t for us – it’s for Him! So…our purpose, anyone’s purpose, the purpose of everything, everywhere is Jesus!
(I love this stuff!)
This Sunday the Christ-centered proclamation continues!
It turns out, God’s Plan is to restore us into the Original Image. What does that look like? Well, it looks like the Resurrected Jesus. Our Destiny is to be conformed to the image of Jesus; to be like-natured to his Human-Divine Nature!
How does THAT move you? What kind of freedom does THAT destiny provide? With THAT destiny predetermined how can you not be secure and confident to the nth degree?
Let’s (re)discover the impact of our destiny…on purpose!
“For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.” – St Paul (Romans 8.29)
This is our destiny!
Peace,
Pastor Karl
