Do Something! Purpose


Icebreaker:

What clubs have you been a member of?
What were your “electives” in school?

Overview:

Read John 14:23-26.

We often over-think God’s purpose for our life. We hear the story of how someone has served God in a powerful way and we begin to underestimate the contribution we are making in God’s Kingdom just by being obedient. Your purpose is to do what God is calling you to do. In his book, Do Something! Make Your Life Count, Miles McPherson says, “God’s purpose for your life is to love Him by obeying Him. He has created you to do something great with your life. Each of us will have unique things to do, but whatever we do, it should be out of obedience to God.” If God had needed 100 Billy Grahams, He would have created 100 Billy Grahams. You are uniquely equipped by God to be you. Go! Do Something!

Discussion:

Why is obedience an indicator of love?
How does God reward obedience?
What happens when we try to serve God without purpose?

Activities:

What kinds of things do you enjoy doing?
What age group of people are you drawn to?
How could you serve God using these things to those people?

As a group, discuss the needs in your community. What did your research reveal about the community around you? What needs did you uncover? What unique skills does your group have? What is God placing on your heart to do as a group?

Prayer:

As a group, pray for God’s direction as to your purpose and your group’s purpose.
