Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.God appointed and set us apart for a specific mission before we were even formed in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5).
- 2.Purpose is about divine assignment, whereas passion is focused on personal pleasure.
- 3.Purpose without God is merely potential without direction.
- 4.God crafted every detail of our lives with careful intention in the secret place (Psalm 139:13–16).
- 5.Small, daily spiritual disciplines shape our character and determine our permanent destiny (Luke 16:10).
- 6.Pursuing material profit without worship leads to a spiritual wilderness, whereas kingdom riches come from living on mission (Matthew 6:33).

This Week
Remember This
Your God-given purpose is an eternal assignment designed before birth, revealed through daily discipline and sharpening processes, and meant to serve others rather than chase profit.
A Challenge for You
I want you to sow not because you must but because you trust. And I want you to think of one, two, maybe three things that you need God to do. Let the enemy know what he meant for evil, God's going to turn it around for your good.These are personal sermon notes shared to help you remember the message — not a replacement for Scripture, your church, or your pastors.
