Blessed for a Purpose

This week is the semiquincentennial celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. That’s right. It’s the 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation!

Last Sunday, we welcomed a special guest, Senator James Lankford. He preached a powerful message from Psalm 67. The point was simple.

  • God has blessed our nation. He’s blessed our church. He’s blessed you and your family.

WHY!?

  • God blessed us for a purpose.

Do you know your purpose? How are you using the blessings of God to fulfill your purpose right where you are? You have time, resources, friendships, opportunity - each blessing is another way you can live your mission to know God and help people follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere.

SOMETHING NEW

After the service, I had a chance to visit with Senator Lankford. He was our first guest on “Love y’all, Get Out - conversations to help you get out there and live the mission.”

I’ve ended meetings with that phrase for years. Now it has a deeper meaning. Every time you press play on Love y’all, Get Out, you’ll find something that encourages and challenges your faith. Sometimes we’ll take a deeper dive into the sermon. Some weeks you’ll hear stories of faith from people in our community. In other episodes, we’ll just talk church. We’ll discuss those ideas and decisions that help us give strength to and gain strength from one another right here in our community. I hope you’ll subscribe so you won’t miss a thing. Like and comment to keep the conversation going, and share it with a friend. We look forward to hearing from you.
