The Importance of Purpose
“He who has not prepared for the trip should not begin his journey.”
–Anonymous

“For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?”
(Luke 14.28; ESV)

Remember your spiritual purpose is greater than your physical purpose.
Your spiritual purpose must be in line with God’s purpose.

The Purpose of Christ
“And he said to them, ‘Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.’”
(Mark 1.38; ESV)
Also see Luke 19.10

What is God’s Purpose?
God seeks the redemption of man:
2 Peter 3.9
1 Timothy 2.3-4
2 Timothy 1.9

United Purpose Leads to Growth
Acts 5.42
The purpose of the church is to make known the manifold wisdom of God. (Ephesians 3:10-11)

Purpose + Vision + Actions
“He who starts a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”
John 15.2-8

Your Personal Purpose
“He that does good for God’s sake seeks neither praise or reward; he is sure of both in the end.”
–William Penn
