Hello everybody and welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.

This is the Bible teaching ministry of Rick Warren.

Now today we're continuing into the new year, and we're digging deeper into one of life's biggest questions,

Does My Life Really Matter?

In today's message, Rick's going to continue his powerful series, Live Your Calling,

What on Earth Am I Here For?

In it, you'll discover how living out God's purpose for your life brings real meaning,

direction, and joy, no matter where you're starting from.

Let's get right to it.

Here's part one of a message title called to be sent.

Now, during this series, we've looked at God's five purposes for your life.

You are not an accident.

They're accidental parents.

There are no accidental children.

They're illegitimate parents.

There are no illegitimate

children. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. And he planned you even before

the foundation of the world. And your life has value and your life has significance. And you are not

an accident. And the Bible says that God created you for five purposes, for five reasons,

for five assignments. The Bible calls them your callings in life, your vocation in your life.

Your vocation is far more than your career. Oh no, no, no. It's your reason for existence.

And God says, I made you for five reasons. Now, we looked first at, I am called to be loved.
