As we enter the new year, we are believing for God’s purpose to be activated in every life. Whether you are beginning a new journey of purpose and calling or finding fresh fire for one already underway, we will studying the beginning of Jesus’ ministry in Luke 2-5 to discover how His Spirit-filled purpose becomes active in us. In today’s sermon, we Begin With Jesus by looking at the story of Jesus being left behind in Luke 2:40-52. Good plans are dangerous when Jesus is assumed rather than followed. We can’t activate our purpose without His presence.
