Part 4 | By Grace Through Faith For Purpose

Are you constantly looking around, comparing your life, or trying to figure out your grand purpose? In Part 4 of the By Grace Through Faith For Purpose sermon, I share a hilarious yet profound story about being a playground tetherball champion to illustrate a beautiful truth: the good works God has called you to do are uniquely yours. We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works prepared long beforehand. You don't have to do something "big and glorious" to fulfill your calling. You just need to be faithful right where you are. Watch now to discover how to bloom where you're planted and live out your purpose in the small, daily choices!

Questions for personal reflection or discussion:

I joked about beating kindergarteners through second graders at tetherball and wondering if I should be making money in corporate America instead. When have you felt pressured by societal standards to chase "success" rather than the specific works God has called you to do? 

Ephesians 2:10 describes us as God's workmanship or "masterpiece," built for custom good works prepared beforehand. How does knowing that your purpose was planned before you were even born change the way you view your daily routines? 

The phrase "go big or go home" is a misnomer. Why do we struggle to value small acts of faithfulness, and how can we encourage each other to stay dedicated to "little" tasks?

Live out your purpose through everyday interactions, like saying “hi,” showing patience, or sharing with others. What is one specific, small way you can "bloom where you are planted" at your job, school, or home this week?
