Speaker 1: Good morning everybody. It's good to see if you'll take
Speaker 1: out your message notes, welcome to live your calling. What
Speaker 1: on earth am I here for? And we're looking at
Speaker 1: the five callings of your life, the five purposes of
Speaker 1: your life, the five reasons God created you, the five
Speaker 1: assignments that He has for your life. The word calling
Speaker 1: has used more than even the word purpose in the Bible.
Speaker 1: And we've looked at these first four are three so far.
Speaker 2: We looked at.
Speaker 1: God's first calling on your life, is your call to
Speaker 1: be loved.
Speaker 2: God made you to love you.
Speaker 1: The second calling as you're called to belong to belong
Speaker 1: to His family, the body of Christ, the family of God.
Speaker 1: Last week we looked at your third calling. You're called
Speaker 1: to become. God wants you to grow up. He wants
Speaker 1: you to mature. He wants you to become We want
Speaker 1: you to be. This week we're going to look at
Speaker 1: the fourth calling on your life, and it is you
Speaker 1: are called to bless. You're called to bless other people.
Speaker 1: Now how do you do that? You bless others people
Speaker 1: when you serve them. It may be physical assistance, it
Speaker 1: may be financial assistance, It may be emotional support. It
Speaker 1: could be relational support, it could be practical support. There
Speaker 1: are a thousand different ways that you can serve the
Speaker 1: people around you, and when you serve others, the Bible
Speaker 1: says you actually bless them. And I want you to write
Speaker 1: this down on your outline. The fourth purpose of my
Speaker 1: life is God shaped me to serve him.
Speaker 2: God shaped me to serve him.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend a lot of time on
Speaker 1: this because we've covered this many many times at Saddleback.
Speaker 1: That God has uniquely shaped you with five elements, your
Speaker 1: spiritual gifts, your heart, your abilities, your personality, your experiences.
Speaker 1: We've covered this many times, and you'll be reading about
Speaker 1: it of course in purpose driven life. That God wired
Speaker 1: you to be you and He shaped you to serve him.
Speaker 1: Phesians two ten explains this. By the way, this is
Speaker 1: our memory verse. So let's read it aloud with great enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: All right, let's say Ephesians two ten, we are God's workmanship,
Speaker 1: created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God
Speaker 1: prepared in advance for.
Speaker 2: Us to do.
Speaker 1: Ephesians to ten. I want you to work on that
Speaker 1: this week. It says we are God's workmanship. We talked
Speaker 1: about this a couple of weeks ago. You are God's masterpiece.
Speaker 1: You're God's work of art. You are unique. There's nobody
Speaker 1: like you in the world, and you are created in
Speaker 1: Christ Jesus to do good works. That good works is
Speaker 1: called your service. It's called your ministry. It's called your blessing.
Speaker 1: It's the way you help other people. You weren't made
Speaker 1: to just take up space, breathe, live a self centered
Speaker 1: life and die. God put you here to make a
Speaker 1: contribution with your life, and that is called your ministry.
Speaker 1: Another word for blessing, another word for services ministry. The
Speaker 1: word servant and the word minister are the same word
Speaker 1: in the Bible, and the word service and ministry are
Speaker 1: the same words. The fact is, we're all ministers. Now,
Speaker 1: we're not all pastors. I'm a pastor. My job is
Speaker 1: to administer the ministers. So if somebody ever asked you
Speaker 1: how many ministers does our church have, you say thirty thousand,
Speaker 1: because everybody is a minister. So I want you to
Speaker 1: write this down. My life calling is to be a
Speaker 1: bi vocational minister of Jesus.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to explain this to you.
Speaker 1: My life calling is to be a bi vocational minister
Speaker 1: of Jesus. Now, what does bivocational mean. Well, it's like
Speaker 1: the word bifocal, you know, when you get glasses that
Speaker 1: are bifocals. It means you can see two things at
Speaker 1: the same time. You can see far away and you
Speaker 1: can see up close. You can see both with clarity.
Speaker 1: And when you are a bi vocational minister Jesus, it
Speaker 1: means that no matter what you do in life, you
Speaker 1: do it for two reasons, not one. You are a
Speaker 1: bi vocational minister. Whether you're a truck driver or an attorney,
Speaker 1: or a janitor, or a hospice worker, or a homemaker
Speaker 1: or a teacher, or a deal maker or a stockbroker
Speaker 1: or an accountant or a farmer, doesn't matter what you are.
Speaker 1: If you're a Christian, you were to do it for
Speaker 1: two reasons, to help others and to honor God. To
Speaker 1: help others and to honor God. To help others and
Speaker 1: to honor God. Everything I do in life, if I'm
Speaker 1: a follower of Jesus is bivocational. I have a job,
Speaker 1: but in that job, I do it to help others
Speaker 1: and to honor God.
Speaker 2: To help others and honor go on.
Speaker 1: I am a bivocational minister of Jesus Christ. Now, the
Speaker 1: Bible says it like this, look up here on the screen,
Speaker 1: goloss those three seventeen. Whatever you do, whatever you do,
Speaker 1: whether in word or deed, do it all in the
Speaker 1: name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father.
Speaker 2: Through him.
Speaker 1: I can take out the garbage as a ministry. I
Speaker 1: can change a dirty diaper as a ministry, I can
Speaker 1: clean the living room. I can make a deal. I
Speaker 1: can help somebody across the street. Everything in your life
Speaker 1: can become a ministry if you do it to help
Speaker 1: others and honor God.
Speaker 2: And he says, whatever you.
Speaker 1: Do, it becomes part of your ministry if you have
Speaker 1: the right motivation.
Speaker 2: I want you to write this down.
Speaker 1: Menial tasks become meaningful tasks when I do that, do
Speaker 1: it out of love for God. Menial tasks become meaningful
Speaker 1: tasks if I do it out of my love for
Speaker 1: Jesus for God. So everything in your life becomes significant. Really,
Speaker 1: Let's say you're at a meeting in your office at
Speaker 1: where you work, and all of a sudden the meeting's
Speaker 1: over and ever gets up to walk out, and they've
Speaker 1: left coffee cups and trash and all kinds of thingf
Speaker 1: and you just decide, I'm going to clean that up.
Speaker 2: Everybody.
Speaker 1: It's not my job, but I'm going to clean that
Speaker 1: up to help people and honor God. And so while
Speaker 1: they're all gone, you clean off the table and you
Speaker 1: put it all in the trash.
Speaker 2: When they just walked.
Speaker 1: Out expecting somebody else to do it, you have just
Speaker 1: done a ministry. And God will notice and God will
Speaker 1: reward you for it. Now, the fact is, the calling
Speaker 1: to salvation and the calling to service are the same.
Speaker 1: So when you became a believer, when you stepped across
Speaker 1: the line, you weren't just called to be saved. You
Speaker 1: were called to serve. You're saved to serve to make
Speaker 1: a difference with your life. And as I said, every
Speaker 1: member is a minister, and everybody has a ministry. Galatians one, chapter,
Speaker 1: chapter one, verse fifteen says, this God in his grace
Speaker 1: chose me even before I was born and called me
Speaker 1: to serve him. Circle that last phrase, call me to
Speaker 1: serve him. This is the fourth purpose of your life.
Speaker 1: This is the fourth calling on your life. You are
Speaker 1: called to serve. Your shape to serve. You're made for ministry.
Speaker 1: You're called to bless What happens if I begin to
Speaker 1: use my life in this fourth calling, When I begin
Speaker 1: to stop thinking about me all the time and begin
Speaker 1: to start thinking about other people in my life, begin
Speaker 1: to think about not how can I be served, but
Speaker 1: how can I serve others well? It brings four amazing benefits.
Speaker 1: The first thing that happens you write, write this down,
Speaker 1: is that serving others unselfishly.
Speaker 2: Will create joy in my life.
Speaker 1: It creates enormous, massive amounts of joy in my life.
Speaker 1: Most people are looking for happiness in all the wrong places.
Speaker 1: You don't find happiness and pleasure. Power, possessions, position, prestige.
Speaker 1: You know, all of these different things that we typically
Speaker 1: look for popularity. Success doesn't bring satisfaction. Sex doesn't bring satisfaction.
Speaker 1: Salary doesn't bring satisfaction. Status doesn't bring satisfaction. Those are
Speaker 1: all temporary. For permanent, ongoing joy, it comes not through sex, status, salary.
Speaker 1: It comes to service by giving my life away. God
Speaker 1: wired is that when you give your life away, that's
Speaker 1: when the joy flows into your heart. Why, because he
Speaker 1: wants you to be like him. Most people don't know
Speaker 1: the two secrets of joy, but I'm gonna give him
Speaker 1: to you right now here.
Speaker 2: They are one number one.
Speaker 1: The first secret of joy is get the focus off myself.
Speaker 1: The more you focus on you, the more miserable you're
Speaker 1: gonna be. It is not by accident that the word
Speaker 1: miser and miserable come from the same root word. You've
Speaker 1: got to shift your focus from inward focus it's all
Speaker 1: about me, to outward focus. It's all about God and
Speaker 1: serving others. Now, when you do that, that is a
Speaker 1: counterculture moved because everything in our society says it's all
Speaker 1: about you. Every advertisement says it's all about you. We
Speaker 1: do it all for you. Have it your way, you're
Speaker 1: number one, you're the best. But when you begin to
Speaker 1: give your life away, the more you give your life
Speaker 1: away t help others guess what, the more joy flows
Speaker 1: into your life. Good example of this is the apostle
Speaker 1: Paul Philippians, Chapter two, verse seventeen. He says, my life
Speaker 1: is being poured out as a part of the sacrifice
Speaker 1: and service. There's those words, as a part of the
Speaker 1: sacrifice and service I offer to God for your faith.
Speaker 1: Yet he says, in spite of this sacrifice and service,
Speaker 1: I am filled with joy and I share that joy
Speaker 1: with all of you. It is a fact of life
Speaker 1: that the most helpful people are the most happy people
Speaker 1: in life. If you want to be happy, you got
Speaker 1: to be helpful. The more helpful you are, the more
Speaker 1: happy you are, the more self centered you are, the
Speaker 1: more unhappy you're going to be in life. It's just
Speaker 1: the way the universe works. So joy floods into my
Speaker 1: soul when I begin to give it away. God wired
Speaker 1: the universe that the more unselfish you are, the more
Speaker 1: joy flows into your life. The Bible says this in
Speaker 1: Philippians four. Always be full of joy in the Lord.
Speaker 1: Say it again. Rejoice. Let everyone see that you are
Speaker 1: unselfish and considerate in all you do. Now notice how
Speaker 1: he pairs joy with being unselfish and considerate. If you
Speaker 1: are inconsiderate and you are selfish, you're not going to
Speaker 1: be joyful. But if you are unselfish and you are considerate,
Speaker 1: you're going to be joyful. I'll be real blunt with you.
Speaker 1: Look at this verse up on the screen. Forget about
Speaker 1: yourself long enough to lend a helping hand. If you
Speaker 1: lack joy in your life, you're not happy right now.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you start serving, Start finding a place
Speaker 1: where you can volunteer to give part of your time
Speaker 1: away and you get nothing in return, You're not paid
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 2: You're just giving your life away.
Speaker 1: If there's nothing in your life that you are doing,
Speaker 1: say on a weekly basis, on which you're just doing
Speaker 1: it for others benefit, not for your own. If there's
Speaker 1: nothing in your life like that, you're living a pretty
Speaker 1: selfish life. And God didn't put you on this planet
Speaker 1: just to live for you. You got to give back,
Speaker 1: You got to make a contribution. You got to be unselfish.
Speaker 1: That's where the joy comes from. Number two. The other
Speaker 1: way joy comes is when I use my gifts to
Speaker 1: help others. Joy comes from getting the focus off myself.
Speaker 1: And joy comes from using my gifts to help others.
Speaker 1: And when you use the gifts that God gave you
Speaker 1: to help other people, it feels good. I was reading
Speaker 1: an article this week about the Oscar contenders for the
Speaker 1: Academy Awards this year. One of the actors said, I
Speaker 1: was created, I was made for this role. You know
Speaker 1: that feeling. That's how you feel when you know I'm
Speaker 1: doing what God made me to do, what God wired
Speaker 1: me to do. One Peter four to ten says this,
Speaker 1: God has given each of you some special abilities. Be
Speaker 1: sure to use them to make a ton of money.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I misread that.
Speaker 1: That's in the reviled substandard perversion translation. God has given
Speaker 1: each of you some special abilities, be sure to use them.
Speaker 1: To read it with me, help each other, okay, passing
Speaker 1: on to others. God's many kinds of blessing. We're blessed
Speaker 1: to be a blessing. God blesses you so you can
Speaker 1: bless other people. We're blessed to be a blessing. And
Speaker 1: how do we bless others? We bless others by using
Speaker 1: our skills, by using our time, our talents, whatever we've got.
Speaker 1: When we use it to help other people. In service,
Speaker 1: you bless other people. Number two. Surviving others unselfishly or
Speaker 1: serving others unselfishly will create not only joy in my life,
Speaker 1: it will improve my relationships.
Speaker 2: Boy, do we need this one.
Speaker 1: Your relationships will get better the more you learn how
Speaker 1: to serve, and that's something you got to practice at
Speaker 1: I will it will improve my relationships. Why because the
Speaker 1: root of every single relational problem in your life is
Speaker 1: self centeredness. Now there are other issues that come in,
Speaker 1: but at the root, it's selfishness. I want what I
Speaker 1: want when I want it, and you want what you
Speaker 1: want when you want it, and neither of us are
Speaker 1: willing to budge and give in and change. And I
Speaker 1: want it my way and you want it your way,
Speaker 1: and that causes conflict. The verse verse that K and
Speaker 1: I memorized when we were actually on our honeymoon was
Speaker 1: Farver's thirteen ten only by pride cometh contention. In other words,
Speaker 1: when you have an ego, you're gonna have conflict. Anytime
Speaker 1: you're having a conflict in your marriage, ego is showing
Speaker 1: up and you're not being a servant, you're being selfish.
Speaker 1: But the more you practice, the more you learn to
Speaker 1: get yourself out of yourself, get a bigger perspective, you
Speaker 1: begin to serve unselfishly. It's going to change and improve
Speaker 1: every single one of your relationships. Because you change, it
Speaker 1: changes your relationships.
Speaker 3: Pastor Rick has put together a special resource called Daily
Speaker 3: Inspiration for the Purpose Driven Life to help you reflect
Speaker 3: on the key Bible verses found in his best selling book,
Speaker 3: The Purpose Driven Life. As you dive deeper into these verses,
Speaker 3: you'll experience the transforming power of God's Word. This beautiful
Speaker 3: hardcover gift book features gold detailing on the cover and
Speaker 3: has three hundred in eleven pages filled with scripture, and
Speaker 3: also includes reflection pages so you can record the life
Speaker 3: changing truths God.
Speaker 2: Reveals to you.
Speaker 3: This book is a wonderful spiritual growth tool and it
Speaker 3: makes a perfect gift for your friends and family. When
Speaker 3: you give a gift to help Daily Hope share the
Speaker 3: Gospel with people around the world, will send you a
Speaker 3: copy of Daily Inspiration for the Purpose Driven Life to
Speaker 3: say thanks.
Speaker 2: So, how do I learn to be unselfish? Simple?
Speaker 1: Copy Jesus because he lived the most unselfish life ever.
Speaker 1: Matthew ten twenty eight says this your attitude. Your attitude
Speaker 1: must be like my own, Jesus says, for I did
Speaker 1: not come to be served, but to serve. Now when
Speaker 1: you take on the attitude of Jesus and you begin
Speaker 1: to live your life not for the benefit of yourself,
Speaker 1: but you begin to live your life for the benefit
Speaker 1: of others, to help others and honor God.
Speaker 2: Help others and honor God.
Speaker 1: You accept you're a biblecational minister of God. Two incredible
Speaker 1: benefits happen. One, you become more like Jesus, and two
Speaker 1: you're more loved, respected, you're more popular. If you want
Speaker 1: to have more friends, learn to be a servant. Here's
Speaker 1: what the Bible says Romans fourteen eighteen. If you serve
Speaker 1: Christ in this way, unselfishly serving, you will please God
Speaker 1: notice and be respected by people. You want to be
Speaker 1: respected by people. Learn to have a servant's heart. Here's
Speaker 1: the cool part of all this. The more I bless
Speaker 1: other people, the more God blesses me. The more I
Speaker 1: serve others, the more God honors me. The more I
Speaker 1: bless other people, the more I minister to other people,
Speaker 1: the more God ministers to me. Let me show you
Speaker 1: some verses up here on the screen Proverbs eleven twenty.
Speaker 1: The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed, and those
Speaker 1: who help others are helped. In other words, it's the
Speaker 1: principle of sowing and reping. Whatever seed I sew, I'm
Speaker 1: going to get back, but I don't get back a seed.
Speaker 1: If I plan a seed, I don't get back one seed.
Speaker 1: I get a whole tree of seeds. And so if
Speaker 1: you start blessing other people, you get tons of blessing back.
Speaker 1: You start helping other people, you get tons of help back.
Speaker 1: You get more than you bargained for. Blessing others gives
Speaker 1: me blessing. You know when people tell me, you know,
Speaker 1: I'd really like to be involved in service, but I'm
Speaker 1: just too busy. I'm just I don't have any time
Speaker 1: to really be involved in volunteering anywhere. I'm just too busy.
Speaker 1: Then you just forfeited God's blessing on your business. I
Speaker 1: really feel sad for you. You want God's blessing on
Speaker 1: your business. God does not bless selfishness. You want God's
Speaker 1: blessing on your business and on your work so badly.
Speaker 1: God's saying, are you giving anything away?
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you thinking only about yourself? Is it all about you?
Speaker 1: Are you you think I put you on earth just to.
Speaker 2: Live for you?
Speaker 1: Now, the more you give your life away, the more
Speaker 1: God blesses you. Look at these verses Proverbs seventeen eleven,
Speaker 1: you do yourself a favor when you're kind, that interesting.
Speaker 1: You do yourself a favor when you're kind, The Bible
Speaker 1: says in Proverbs twenty two nine, a generous man will
Speaker 1: himself be blessed. So if I want God's blessing on
Speaker 1: my life. I've got to be a blessing in other
Speaker 1: people's life, and if I want better relationships, I need
Speaker 1: to start serving. Number three, Serving others unselfishly will make
Speaker 1: my life meaningful. That's the third big surprise that most
Speaker 1: people won't know. The only way you find meaning in
Speaker 1: life is to give your life away. God wired the
Speaker 1: universe on this principle. Meaning does not come from money.
Speaker 1: We think if I just get more more money, then
Speaker 1: my life will have more meaning.
Speaker 2: No, it will not.
Speaker 1: I probably know a dozen billionaires, and I could invite
Speaker 1: any of those friends of mine come on stage. Every
Speaker 1: one of them will tell you. Money has many good uses.
Speaker 1: It can make life easier. It can give you opportunities,
Speaker 1: it can open doors, it can save you time. But
Speaker 1: money cannot give you meaning. No amount of money will
Speaker 1: ever give your life meaning. Meaning comes from ministry, from
Speaker 1: giving your life away. Jesus said it like this Mark
Speaker 1: eight thirty five. If you try to keep your life
Speaker 1: for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give
Speaker 1: up your life for my sake, for the sake of
Speaker 1: the good News, you will find true life. Circle those
Speaker 1: last two words, true life comes from giving my life away.
Speaker 1: Now knowing this, what should be my attitude toward service?
Speaker 1: One Corinthens fifteen fifty eight says this, always give yourself
Speaker 1: fully to the work of the Lord, because you know
Speaker 1: that your work in the Lord is never wasted. Everything
Speaker 1: you do for Christ has a purpose, and it may
Speaker 1: seem insignificant, and maybe nobody else seems to know about it,
Speaker 1: but it's important.
Speaker 2: The Bible says, even if you give a cup of cold.
Speaker 1: Water in God's name, in Jesus name, that you get
Speaker 1: rewarded for that in eternity. And that brings me to
Speaker 1: the fourth reason. What will happen if I use my
Speaker 1: life to serve and bless others? If I switch the
Speaker 1: focus from it's all about me, to switch the focus
Speaker 1: on how many people can I serve? How can I
Speaker 1: honor God? By helping others? Creates joy in my life
Speaker 1: and improves my relationships. It makes my life meaningful. And
Speaker 1: the fourth thing is it will leave a legacy. It
Speaker 1: will leave a legacy. You will leave a mark. Actually,
Speaker 1: you'll leave two legacies, one on earth and one in eternity.
Speaker 1: The one on earth isn't gonna last very long because
Speaker 1: after about three generations, everybody forgets you. Given enough time,
Speaker 1: all your trophies are going to be trashed. All the
Speaker 1: things you think are so cool. Right now, two generations
Speaker 1: don't be even gonna care. You may get your name
Speaker 1: on a building. Nobody's even going to ask who was
Speaker 1: that person?
Speaker 2: So what?
Speaker 1: But the rewards you get in eternity are going to
Speaker 1: go on and on and on and on forever. But
Speaker 1: when you begin to serve, what it does is it
Speaker 1: gives you a reputation. The Bible says this Proverbs ten,
Speaker 1: verse seven. Good people will be remembered as a blessing.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, what are you? What are you
Speaker 1: going to be remembered for? If you were to die
Speaker 1: tomorrow with people? Say, man, that person was a real blessing.
Speaker 1: They really lived for other people. They served, They were sharing,
Speaker 1: They were generous, they were kind, They were always of
Speaker 1: other people or would they think only? They were pretty
Speaker 1: self centered. They only had their goals. They only went
Speaker 1: after what they wanted. They didn't really care about anybody else,
Speaker 1: didn't take care of their wife or their kids or
Speaker 1: any and they just lived their life, did what they
Speaker 1: wanted to do. What do you want to be known for?
Speaker 1: Good people will be remembered as a blessing. Now, the
Speaker 1: truth is, everybody wants their life to count deep down
Speaker 1: inside of you. You want your life to have significance.
Speaker 1: You want your life to have meaning, You want your
Speaker 1: life to have purpose. You want to do something great
Speaker 1: with your life. Everybody wants that, and there's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with that. To do something great with your life, you
Speaker 1: ought to want to do something great with your life.
Speaker 1: Here's how Jesus said you become great, Matthew twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: If you want to be great, you must be the
Speaker 1: servant of all the others. The more you serve, the
Speaker 1: greater you're going to be. The more you serve, the
Speaker 1: more influence you'll have. I call it the Mother to
Speaker 1: Rease syndrome. Mother Teresa went to the poorest of the poor,
Speaker 1: the most outcast of the outcast in Calcutta, India, to
Speaker 1: people who are on the street and dying. Nobody has
Speaker 1: less influence than them. And she began to take the
Speaker 1: dying into her home, and she cared for them, and
Speaker 1: she began to serve those that everybody was trampling over.
Speaker 2: And as she went to the.
Speaker 1: Least influential people of life, God gave her enormous influence
Speaker 1: around the world, so that she could walk into the
Speaker 1: Congress and everybody would listen. She could walk into the
Speaker 1: United Nations and everybody would listen. If you want to
Speaker 1: be great, you learn to be the servant of all.
Speaker 1: You know, for thirty years, I've been training leaders around
Speaker 1: the world, you know, lots of different countries, and I've
Speaker 1: discovered that when I hold a leadership seminar, it's packed out.
Speaker 1: If I call it a service seminar, nobody wants to come.
Speaker 2: In fact, even when we.
Speaker 1: Want to be servants, where we say, well we want
Speaker 1: to be a servant leader, why not just lead the
Speaker 1: leader part off, Just be a servant. If you want
Speaker 1: to be a great, learn to be the servant of all.
Speaker 1: If you go onto Amazon dot com, for every five
Speaker 1: hundred books on leadership, you'll find one book on being
Speaker 1: a servant. We got our values all upside down. The
Speaker 1: way you become great is by giving your life away.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 1: But nobody's going to see my secret acts of service.
Speaker 1: God will like if you clean up that table when
Speaker 1: everybody's left the room, God will see that.
Speaker 2: And the Bible says this in Hebrew six'.
Speaker 1: Ten god is, fear he will not forget the work
Speaker 1: you did and the love you showed for him by
Speaker 1: helping his, people and he will remember that you are
Speaker 1: still helping. Them in, Fact jesus makes this promise In
Speaker 1: john twelve twenty. Six My father will honor anyone who serves.
Speaker 1: Me and if you want to leave a, legacy then
Speaker 1: you need to start serving, unselfishly doing something with your
Speaker 1: life that you don't get something back.
Speaker 2: For you, know.
Speaker 1: Monetarily you've heard me say before that the greatest use
Speaker 1: of life is to invest it in that which.
Speaker 2: Outlasted you got three choices with your.
Speaker 1: Life you can spend your, life you can waste your,
Speaker 1: life you can invest your. Life the best use of
Speaker 1: your life is to invest it in that which will outlast.
Speaker 1: It there are only two things going to last in the,
Speaker 1: world only, two The word Of god and. People so
Speaker 1: if you build your life on The word Of god
Speaker 1: and the, people then you are building your life on
Speaker 1: the things that are going to.
Speaker 3: Last Pastor rick has put together a special resource Called
Speaker 3: Daily inspiration for The Purpose Driven life to help you
