Pastor Derrill preached on discovering the deeper purpose God has designed for every life through the story of the Apostle Paul. In this powerful message, “Finding Your Purpose,” we explored how passion without alignment to Jesus can leave people driven, successful, and still spiritually empty. Paul’s life reminds us that purpose is not something we invent for ourselves. It is something revealed through a real encounter with Christ. From Saul the persecutor to Paul the missionary, one moment with Jesus completely redirected his identity, calling, and mission.

This message challenged us to ask a deeper question: Is our passion aimed at something eternal, or simply something impressive? Pastor Derrill unpacked how God uniquely designs every person with intentionality and assignment, calling believers to use their gifts, careers, creativity, and influence to advance Jesus’ movement in neighborhoods and nations. Whether you are an artist, entrepreneur, student, leader, or simply searching for meaning, this sermon is an invitation to stop settling for smaller things and step into the mission you were made for. God did not create you by accident. You were made for more.
