                                                                 Mary Queen of Peace Parish




                                                                             Alan L. Caceres
PURPOSE IN LIFE
Do you know how to
                       fly an airplane?




Do you know how to
  use a TubeBot?
IT ALL STARTS WITH GOD

 Focusing on ourselves
  will never reveal our
  life’s purpose
 You were made by God
  and for God – and until
  you understand that,
  life will never make
  sense
 To discover your life’s purpose: Ask God
 It’s not about me – “Everything got started in Him
  and finds its purpose in Him.” (Col 1:16b)
YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT

 Long before you were conceived by your parents, you
  were conceived in the mind of God
 He also determined the natural talents you would
  possess and the uniqueness of your personality
 God made you so he could love you
 God made you for a reason,
  and your life has profound
  meaning
 I am not an accident – “I am
  your Creator. You were in my
  care even before you were
  born.” (Isaiah 44:2)
Guilt




                Approval                          Anger
                                  What
                                  Drives
 Nothing matters
                                   Your
     more than                    Life?
   knowing God’s
 purpose for your
 life, and nothing
can compensate        Material-
                                           Fear
  for not knowing       ism
     them – not
 success, wealth,
fame or pleasure
THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING

 Living for God’s glory is the greatest achievement we
  can accomplish with our lives
 When anything in creation fulfills its purpose, it
  brings glory to God
 God’s glory is the expression of his
  goodness, and all his other
  intrinsic, eternal qualities
 It’s all for him – “For everything
  comes from God alone. Everything
  lives by this power, and everything
  is for his glory.” (Romans 11:36)
FIVE PURPOSES FOR YOUR LIFE

1. Worship Him – far more than
   praising, singing and praying to
   God. It is a lifestyle of enjoying
   God, loving Him and giving
   ourselves to be used for his
   purpose.

2. Love other believers –we are
   part of God’s family. Following
   Christ is not just a matter of
   believing, it also includes
   belonging and learning to love
   the family of God.
FIVE PURPOSES FOR YOUR LIFE

3. Become like Christ – grow to
   spiritual maturity; becoming like
   Jesus in the way we think, feel
   and act.



4. Serve others with our gifts – your
   abilities are not for selfish
   purposes but to benefit others,
   just as others were given abilities
   for your benefit.                     MINISTRY
FIVE PURPOSES FOR YOUR LIFE

5. Telling others about Him – once
   we know the truth, he expects us
   to share it with others. It is a
   great privilege to introduce others
   to Christ and help them discover
   their purpose.
