A man and his Mission: Your Life Purpose!
Genesis 2 – From God’s account of creation, He says that man has…
- A work to do - A will to obey - A woman to love
- rejects passivity • accepts responsibility • leads courageously • expects the greater reward – God’s reward
As we study a man and his mission, we will address the following items:
- Your life purpose - Your life plan - Your life perseverance
God has a uniquely designed journey for a man from his first breath to life.
Your primary mission: The Westminster Shorter Catechism says “What is the chief end of man? A man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.”
Revelation 4:11 (NASB95) “Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.”
Every man must have a transcendent cause. If your only cause is yourself, you will never experience the joy, abundance, and fullness of the life God intended.
2. Your personal response: • the example of Joshua
Fiercely embrace • Courageously pursue
Small group: There are two examples, Joshua whose legacy carried on after his life (Joshua 24:31) and Judges 2:10, where the generation that arose did not know the Lord.
Discuss with your group what actions you think contribute to leaving a legacy of faith and also what actions inhibit faith being passed to future generations.
Take away: Building from your small group discussion, read Joshua 24 and Judges 2. Answer the following question before next week: What plans do I have for purposefully leaving a legacy of faith?
