Message Transcript

Truth #1: The world is broken.

  • Romans 8:22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

  • 6 Broken Places: Separation, Isolation, Pain, Hatred, Decay, and Injustice.


Truth #2: Every human has a calling.

  • Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

  • Every human being is created with God-ordained good works for us to do. A calling that arises out of our gifts and abilities, personality, life experiences, and passions.


When you step into your destiny and begin to heal the world you will experience a deep satisfaction, a new level of joy and a breathtaking sense of purpose.

6 Evidences of the Kingdom of God:

  5. Creation care' A restored and beautiful physical planet. Where the Kingdom of God is evident, you'll observe the planet itself being cared for, the decay of God's ""very good"" world halted.

  6. Justice. Where the Kingdom of God is evident, you'll rejoice over seeing vast systems of human poverty, misery, and brokenness coming to an end.


You have a Why to Live For...now, it's up to you to discover it.

Do you see people struggling in situations that just shouldn't be, that make you say ""This is not right!"" Do you want to try to change the circumstance? If so, you might be a CHAMPION, fighting against INJUSTICE.

Does your heart break over the sight of our precious creation wasting away, and do you want to restore and protect the world God has given us? If so, you might be a STEWARD, preserving our creation from DECAY.

Do you feel outrage over the division and animosity that keeps us from understanding and embracing one another, and do want to stand up for those who don't have a voice? If so, you might be an ACTIVIST, seeking to combat HATRED.

Do you see others suffering physically, mentally, or spiritually and want to look for ways to remedy their agony? If so, you might be a HEALER, easing the world's PAIN.

Do you gravitate toward those who seem alone and lonely, who seem to have no one in their corner and who are afraid and friendless? If so, you might be a NURTURER, bringing love and hope to those in ISOLATION.

Do you feel driven to reach out to those who may have lost their way and need to know God and become his child? If so, you might be an AMBASSADOR, leading people out of SEPARATION.

When you step into your destiny and begin to heal the world, you will experience a deep satisfaction, a new level of joy and a breathtaking sense of purpose.

The time has come for you now to discover your why to live for.
