SERMON NOTES

DISCOVERING PURPOSE

PASTOR LEVI THOMPSON

Moses Sermon Series – Part 4 

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

 

God created you on purpose, for a purpose.

 

But do you know what that purpose is? Do you know how to live it out? And if so, are you living it out?

If we aren’t sure our purpose, how do we discover it?

 

Three steps toward discovering purpose:

1. MAKE A FAITH DECISION.

Hebrews 11:24-25

By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 

 

 

2. GET WITH GOD’S PEOPLE.

 

Exodus 2:11

One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were…

 

Your God-given destiny is inseparable from connection with God’s people. 

 

A true faith decision will lead you to change who you hang out with.

 

 

 

3. NOTICE WHAT MOVES YOU.

Exodus 2:11-13

11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”

 

What moves you, is often a “purpose marker.”

 

When you see something and you can’t walk by—you may be called to step in.
