Summary
Sometimes the shortest distance between two points is a zig zag line. God’s ultimate purpose for our life is often achieved by circumstances that seem to make no apparent sense to us. Is that how you feel? Do you need some help? Join Chip as he explains how, even in our worst circumstances, God can bring us joy!
Main PointsKEY #2: Purpose - What's my purpose? -Philippians 1:12-18
Three purpose statements for every believer:
- I am an ambassador/messenger of the Gospel.
- I am called to encourage God’s people; to help them grow to full maturity in Christ.
- I am a servant of the living God.
