The question is not whether we have a sense of divine purpose, but how we’re trying to satisfy it.
God changes us from the inside out, and we live the rest of our lives knowing we are here for a reason.
When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
This parable will help us understand what it feels like to be lost and how God responds to that feeling by always trying to bring us home.
How can those of us who identify as Christians make church more accessible to those who believe in God?
To change the world, we must change the church. This starts with every Christian deciding to transform personally, beginning with our personal relationship with God.
Many Christians become deceived because our entire experience is lived within the church. God wants us to expand our world to see he has bigger things in store.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
When we experience testing, pain and failure in our lives, it is easy to give into fear and doubt. “Flipping the Switch” is about learning to let God use our personal passion, ambition, dreams, pain, and setbacks for his greater purpose of saving lives.
Jesus had a mission! Everything he did in his life fit into the mission God had for him. Do you know your mission? Jesus accomplished his mission. Are you accomplishing that mission?
