Why Am I Here – My Christian Calling

Series: WHY AM I HERE?

All of us ask ourselves these basic but significant questions …

What am I supposed to do with my life? What is my purpose on Earth?  Why am I even here?

In our three-week Sunday message series to kick off 2016 called ‘Why Am I Here?’, Pastor Cogle will answer some of humanity’s most common questions and address how we can discover our God-given purpose.

Today: My Christian Calling
Luke 9:1-2
Mark 3:14-15

How do you know what your reason for living is? How is that connected to our Christian calling?

Three words that will help us define our Christian calling:

I. KNOWING

We are called to:

• Preach the gospel – spirit
• Heal the sick – body
• Cast out demons – soul

Before Jesus appointed them to DO, He appointed them to BE with Him.

 

II. GROWING

Are you still growing?

You can’t grow if you are not with Him.

 

III. GLOWING

We are to be light in a dark world.

We are not the light. We reflect the light. A pregnant woman glows because she has life growing within her.

We need to glow in a dark world, but we’re not going to glow if we don’t grow and we’re not going to grow unless we get to know Jesus.
