Discover Your PLACE

God Made You For A Reason

You Were Made For A Reason

Discover Your PLACE: Part 1 • January 7, 2018 • Pastor Joe

“Meaningless, meaningless! A chasing after wind! Everything is meaningless!” Not really, but sometimes life can feel that way when you don’t know your PLACE.

Personality

Discover Your PLACE: Part 2 • January 14, 2018 • Pastor Joe

You were born with a bullseye. Your trajectory in life began before you were born! God wired you with specific outcomes in His holy mind. Regardless of the debate about nature and nurture, God has given you a personality on purpose.

Grace-Gifts

Discover Your PLACE: Part 3 • January 21, 2018 • Pastor Joe

When you were born again (all baptized believers were!), God sealed you with His Holy Spirit. And it is not what you know, but who you know that brings about your unique mix of grace-gifts (popularly known as spiritual gifts). Knowing your gifts helps you know your PLACE.

Context

Discover Your PLACE: Part 4 • January 28, 2018 • Pastor Joe

You’ve heard it before: I was in the right place at the right time. Realtors made three rules that correspond: 1) Location. 2) Location. 3) Location. To discover your PLACE, you will profit from learning where you fit best.

Passion

Discover Your PLACE: Part 5 • February 4, 2018 • Pastor Joe

When you’re in love, the world looks different. When a cause is great, people make great sacrifices. What is it that compels you? And, to better understand your passion, we must also ask, what discourages you?

Experiences

Discover Your PLACE: Part 6 • February 11, 2018 • Pastor Joe

“Pain is weakness leaving the body.” “If it doesn’t kill you it makes you stronger.” These machismo quips from the U.S. Marine Corps miss the point of suffering. God redeems our hurts to bring help.
