Whether we know it or not and whether we use them or not, God has given every person a set of talents and abilities and gifts. To be used in the home, at the workplace, in the community and in His church. In this message, we take a look at what God sees when He looks at our purpose and try to re-align our own viewpoint.

If God could only ask one thing from us, what do you think it would be? Most people think He wants our money. But that's not true at all. If God wanted our money, he would take it.

In this message, we discover how the same principle is true for our spiritual growth and measuring our movement.

Life change. When we think of people growing spiritually, this is usually the first thing we look for. But so often, we get caught up in the external life changes...is that a reliable measurement?

Getting a good idea of where we are spiritually is important - but how can we tell if we're hiding parts of our lives from our friends, ourselves or even God. In the first week of this series, we talk about the first step towards measuring our own spiritual growth.
