Proverbs 29:18 KJV Where there is no vision, the people perish.

Proverbs 29:18 MSG

If people can't see what God is doing, they

stumble all over themselves; but when they attend to what he reveals,

they are most blessed.

THE WAY OF LIFE

(Psalm 16:11 NLT) You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.

MY ULTIMATE PURPOSE

(Ephesians 2:10) For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do

1. MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MY WORLD.

(John 17:18 MSG) In the same way that you gave me a mission in the

world, I give them a mission in the world.

(Acts 20:24 NCV) I don’t care about my own life. The most important

thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me—to tell people the Good News about God’s grace.

(Mark 5:19 NCV) Go home to your family and friends. Tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has had mercy on you.

(Proverbs 3:27-28 MSG) Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God’s hand for that person. Never tell your neighbors to wait until tomorrow if you can help them now.

2. MAKE A DIFFERENCE BEYOND MY WORLD.

(1 Corinthians 9:22 TLB) Whatever a person is like, I try to find common ground with him so that he will let me tell him about Christ and let Christ save him.

(Galatians 6:2 MSG) Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law.

3. MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

(Mark 16:15 NCV) Jesus said to His followers, “Go everywhere in the

world, and tell the Good News to everyone.”

(Mark 10:29 LB) Jesus replied, “Let me assure you that no one has

ever given up anything... for love of Me and to tell others the Good

News, who won’t be given back, a hundred times over...”

(Acts 1:8) “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

LUKE 9:24

If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.

Luke 9:25

And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed?
