God does not show favoritism. The invitation God makes through Jesus is given to everyone but this doesn't mean that we follow on our own terms. Following Jesus flows out of an understanding of who God is and how great He is in comparison to how broken and faulty we are. Following Jesus isn't a one time decision rather it shapes every decision we make thereafter.

Living a life of significance and being used by God strikes a cord in most which at first usually feels and sounds like reluctance. Though many have a desire to make a difference for God we all feel we have legitimate reasons why someone else might be more suitable. A quick survey of the scripture into the lives of the men and women God chose to use reveals that God has used some very ordinary and even flawed people.

Though we all have the same commands and are all charged to bring Glory to God collectively the Bible gives us a glimpse into the His specific will. God has a tailor-made purpose for each of us. We are created with purpose in mind and its amazing how when we discover that God wants to use our unique gifting and experience it is a beautiful picture of redemption, Most believe there is a purpose for their lives but many don't know what it is. Our prayer is that this sermon will illuminate Gods purpose for your life and help kickstart a radically different approach to life

Every person is born with a desire to live a significant life. It is natural and right to desire to make a difference with our lives. However this ambition is often naive, it's usually misguided and it spoils easily. The bible challenges us not to die to ambition but to direct it appropriately.

We often wrongly estimate a persons value because we have the wrong point of view. Part of the consequence of receiving the gospel is getting a new outlook on others and specifically how precious and valuable they are before God. Part of our responsibility as followers of Christ is to help people connect the dots that the love of Christ is the only thing that will redeem our value as His beloved children.
