Created to Shine for His Glory – Time to Stop Chasing Purpose
This message helps us stop chasing ‘purpose/identity’ and instead embrace the purpose and identity God created us with.
We live in a world that’s flooded with messages posted on social media that sound like this…
- What’s Your Purpose?
- Let’s Define Your Purpose
- The Five Steps to Finding Your Purpose
And in a world played out on the stage of social media, we get caught up in the comparison game…
- Is my purpose good enough?
- Do I need to do more / be more so I stack up to him, her and them
- Etc….
