Built For Glory
We often ask, *“What is my purpose?”* and rush to our gifts, careers, or what makes us happy for the answer. In **“Built For Glory”**, Pastor Dom O’Connell takes us back to Scripture to show that our deepest purpose is not something we invent, but something we receive. From Genesis 1 we see that we are created, intentionally, in the image of God—set apart from the rest of creation to reflect who He is. Isaiah 43 then reveals why: we were **formed for His glory**. Our identity isn’t rooted in what we can do, but in whose image we bear and whose glory we live for.
Building on this, Colossians 3:23 shows how our purpose plays out in real life: *whatever* we do is to be done “with all our heart, as for the Lord.” Pastor Dom challenges us to let Scripture form us (not just confirm us), to take sin seriously because it distorts God’s image in us, and to stop tying our purpose to our skills, job titles, or fleeting happiness. Instead, we are invited into a lifelong, practical pursuit: bringing glory to God in every facet of our lives—home, work, relationships, money, and the unseen moments when no one else is watching.
