Purpose Sunday Prep
Our purpose Sunday is coming up in two weeks. What do you plan to purpose for the
coming year for your giving? A great place to begin the planning process is to look to
scripture. The Apostle Paul told two congregations the same advice he would give us.
“Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so
you also are to do. 2
On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside
and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I
come” (1 Corinthians 16:1–2).
Paul gives great words of encouragement concerning our overall purpose in this life:
“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my
own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have
made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to
what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus” (Philippians 3:12-14).
The words of Solomon may help us as we consider our ultimate purpose:
“The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings;
they are given by one Shepherd. 12
My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making
many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 13
The end of the
matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole
duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:11-13).
As we consider our purpose as Christians, and what we intend to purpose, the
words of Peter can help us. You have already been chosen.
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own
possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness
into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9-10).
He chose us to walk in the light, and because of this we all find our purpose in Christ.
