Purpose

Marked: What is your life marked by?

School Days

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. - Orison Swett Marden

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.“ - Genesis 1:28

1: You are called to be holy. 2: Set apart. 3: Consecrated. 4: A temple of the Holy Spirit. 5: "...you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy." - 1 Peter 1:15

The best excuses people gave God. 1. #5: Gideon. “My clan is the weakest and I am the least of my family.” God still used him to win the battle. 2. #4: Jeremiah. “I don’t know how to speak. I’m only a child.” God still wrote one of the longest books of the Bible through him. 3. #3: Moses. “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?” God still delivered Moses’ people through him. 4. #2: Moses (again). “What if they don’t believe me? I’m slow of speech. Please send someone else.” 5. #1: Sarah. Sarah laughed at the promise of God. Still, God gave her a son that became a mighty nation. 6. Our excuses don’t limit God from using us. He has an amazing plan for you regardless.

The Call: Answering the call of God on your life.

Use me, God.
