Title: Living a Life of Purpose

Scripture: Ephesians 2:10, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

Introduction:

Dear brothers and sisters, today we gather to reflect on the idea of living a life of purpose. As Christians, we are called to live a life that honors God and makes a difference in the world. And the good news is that God has already prepared good works for us to do, as it says in Ephesians 2:10.

Body:

1. Understanding Our Purpose

We were created by God for a purpose, and that purpose is to glorify Him and to do good works. But what does that mean for us in our daily lives? It means that every aspect of our lives should reflect God’s love, grace, and truth. Whether it’s at work, at home, in our relationships, or in our personal time, we should be intentional about living a life that honors God and makes a positive impact on the world.

1. Living a Life of Good Works

God has prepared good works for us to do, but it’s up to us to walk in them. This means that we need to be proactive in seeking out opportunities to serve others, to show kindness, to share the gospel, and to live out our faith in practical ways. It also means that we need to have the right attitude and approach, putting others before ourselves and showing love and compassion even when it’s difficult.

1. The Power of the Holy Spirit

Living a life of purpose is not something we can do on our own. We need the help of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to do good works and to live a life that glorifies God. The Holy Spirit gives us the strength and the courage to overcome challenges, to forgive others, and to live a life of love and joy.

Conclusion:

Dear brothers and sisters, let us strive to live a life of purpose, a life that honors God and makes a difference in the world. May we be intentional about seeking out good works and may we walk in them with the help of the Holy Spirit. And may we always remember that we are God’s workmanship, created for good works, and that our purpose is to glorify Him in all we do. Amen.
