Grow on Purpose
No matter where you saw service this week, it’s possible you saw a totally different message than the other people in the group. (Wild, eh?) Share the message that you heard and what stuck out to you.
Growth isn’t accidental. Think of the one thing you’re best at. (Like cooking, or skateboarding, or frisbee golf.) How did you get good?
Getting good takes time. So, let's do an exercise. Open your calendar for the last week. What kept you busy? And of those things, what were choices and what were obligations?
Let’s continue with this exercise. Look at the next month. Imagine you have the power to highlight, select all, and hit delete, for all your events. The time is yours. What is one thing you actually WANT to do in the next month?
Last part of the exercise. Read Romans 12:1-2 out loud. If you wanted to intentionally do what this verse says in the next month, what would you do?
