What is our purpose?
God used twelve seemingly ordinary men to change the world. These men were not particularly smart, talented, powerful, or gifted, nor were then necessarily passionately pursuing Him, and yet God still transformed them into the men that would build His church.
The question I want to answer is what God will do with a group of men that He has blessed with additional gifts, who are positioned in the center of the world’s most powerful city and desire to live a life that glorifies Him.
The Bible tells us that one man sold out for God is worth more than hundreds who are partially committed. It also tells us that a few men can multiply one man’s work exponentially. Based on this truth, we will have the greatest impact for God when we join with other committed Christ followers to pursue His will. That is the foundation of the structure of this group.
The purpose of the study is to pursue God’s calling. To answer the question, “What is God’s will for me?” We know certain things such as we are to become more like Christ, but if there was something else that god was asking of you, would you hear it? The purpose of this material is to put us in a position where we can not only hear what God is asking of us but also be able to fulfill His will with the greatest results.
God has a purpose for each of our lives. We may not necessarily know what that is, but whatever it is, it is far better than anything that we could desire or think of for ourselves. Alone, each one of us could learn the hard lessons of life and continue to be refined by God as he molds to be more like Christ and reveals His purpose to us; however, with other brothers encouraging and helping each other, that road could be a lot smoother and faster. I’m interested in doing all I can to become as useful to God as soon as possible because that is where I want to be. I desire to learn what God’s will is for my life so that I can begin achieving it today.
How does God want to use you?
