Summary

The beginning of a new year brings about questions like… Am I on the right track? Does my life matter? Am I doing what I’m supposed to be doing? Am I in God’s will? God’s will isn’t that you figure out the right thing to do, God’s will is that you figure out the right person to know. To know Jesus and to make Him known. That is God’s will for our lives. In Part 1 of our new series, Passion + Purpose* (*and designer jeans), Pastor Louie helps us reframe the conversation around what our purpose in life really is.

0:21.2	So it's a new year. At the beginning of every year we take stock, don't we? And we
0:28.2	take stock of our lives and we ask questions like, am I on the right track?
0:33.6	This is my life matter. Another year has gone by before we know what another year

0:47.4	in the middle of the summer, maybe not so much in October as the year sort of
0:51.9	winding to a close. But at the beginning of the year we ask questions like this,
0:56.6	am I doing the right thing with my life? Does my life matter? Am I making a difference on earth?
1:06.2	Is my life important? And as we ask those questions today, we're coming to the right place
1:12.6	because God wants to respond to the biggest questions that we have in our lives today.
1:17.8	And He wants to answer them for us. I saw again this poem, The Summer Day by Mary Oliver.
1:24.5	Any poets in the house, any poetry people in the house, no Mary Oliver? Awesome. That's what I thought.
1:34.0	So maybe you don't know The Summer Day. So I just wanted to bring the last line to us today
1:40.1	because I think it's a great mindset for us going into the new year. The poem ends like this. Tell me
1:47.7	what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? What is it that you plan to do
2:00.4	with your one wild and precious life? You're one shot at being alive. What do you plan to do
2:11.1	with that life? And if you're in that mindset today, if you're in that mindset starting this new year,
