Last Sunday we started a new teaching series called Ordinary. It's all about how God has a very high view of Ordinary people like me, and frankly like you. It's also about how God looks at people differently from the rest of the world.
I told you Sunday that telling someone they can be anything they want was a lie. More than that, it sets them up for deeper feelings of inadequacy when they discover the truth.While it is true you can't be anything you want, the more important truth is that God has designed and created you to be someone and do something. The message I find encouraging is that even a scrub like me has a purpose and life's work in God's plan. How cool is that!
Even more, His plan for my Ordinary life is one that counts for eternity. It may not be high profile or even highly profitable but it does matter. In fact it matters a lot. When you become who God made you to be and do what he built you to do, lives will be touched and you will make a difference. You may not even see the results in this life, but it will happen and your life will matter.
You are God's artwork designed with an eternal purpose. So the question is, do you want to keep perusing things that will never satisfy your soul or do you want to become the amazing thing God designed for you. Seems clear to me, but you decided... no pressure... really.
You can check out the sermon here after Thursday.
