The Big Idea: 

Here’s what I believe: As long as you are alive, God has purpose for your life. There is always a next assignment. When our time on earth is finished, we have the joy of spending eternity with the Lord, but until then, no matter our age, or season of life, God has something for us to do.


Main Points:

1. God knew how he wanted to use your life, even before you were born. He has good works for you to do, which he prepared in advance.
2. Be encouraged by this truth: God is not finished with you. Believe that God has uniquely equipped and gifted you for his purpose. 
3. One essential quality that is sometimes overlooked is availability. To step in to your next assignment, you must be willing. What God has for our lives is not always easy. It will usually cost us something. It may require sacrifice. Are you willing to step out in faith and uncertainty to trust the Lord?


Today’s Scripture Verses:

Ephesians 2:10 - “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Psalm 138:8 - “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.”
