Do we believe God has a purpose for us being here in America? Are we living like it? It seems God would have us to believe, have us to live like He has us in 2024 America on purpose. This idea can be applied to more than the nation we live in. It can be, should be applied to the family we are in, the school or job we are in, or really any situation. Considering our national conversation, national church conversation, or our theme this year is why today I apply this idea to living in America on purpose.

You were a good mother, a bad mother, or an absent mother. You never got to be a mother. Your mother has recently passed. Whatever is our experience with that word, that position, that person; honoring is your healing. Honoring is your path. Honoring is your hope. Honoring is God's way for you.

Today, I want us to look at an event in the Bible where, in the midst of massive crowds, an individual meets someone who forever changed his life. We find it in Luke Chapter 19.

Today is the culmination of the last three weeks coming out of Easter. And we are going to address one of the most significant aspects of missions at our church. And that is partnerships. When possible, we develop partnerships for a variety of reasons, and we base our partnerships on Relationships, trust and common purpose or goal. Both overseas and local partners have skills, resources and an expertise that may not have or need to have because of our partnership.

I need (or we need as a church) to have a strategy. Not trying to sound business like or corporate, but there are a lot of needs and people out there and there is a limit on time, people and resources it would be impossible try and do everything. And somewhere along the way I am trusting that God has a plan.

Already two weeks past Easter, but you remember we ended our Easter service asking the question, 'How does someone who possesses the good news that Jesus is alive, that I have been saved from sin, death, and hell; live?' What is the appropriate response to this good news? Last week we heard Jesus say, 'I am alive, go tell, go share.' And today we will hear Him say, 'I am alive, go love.'
