Summary

As we near the end of our week on grace, today we’re going to explore how God’s grace brings us purpose. As we begin, where do you need more purpose today? Where are you feeling aimless, or lacking passion in life? May God fill us all with a deeper sense of purpose today, and may our days be more fulfilling and more impactful as we experience God’s grace right now.

Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Timothy 1:9, and today's worship is Build My Life by Pat Barrett.

0:32.1	Welcome to the First of Team podcast.

1:00.1	God saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works,
1:07.4	but because of his own purpose and grace, which He gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began.
1:16.4	One of the greatest gifts we've been given by God is purpose. From the time of Adam, God has always made clear the purposes for which we were created. In Genesis 128, God says,

1:36.4	moves on the earth. Throughout time, our purposes have changed, but God has made it clear that we are all to have lives that
