Speaker 1: One of the most beloved verses in the Bible is
Speaker 1: Romans eight twenty eight. So verse you've probably heard many, many,
Speaker 1: maybe hundreds of times. It's one of the great promises
Speaker 1: of the Bible, and it says this at the top
Speaker 1: of your outline, we know that in all things God
Speaker 1: works for the good of those who love him. And
Speaker 1: usually we stop right there, we leave off the second
Speaker 1: half of the verse, and we say, what a great promise.
Speaker 2: We know that in all things.
Speaker 1: Not just the good things in life, but even in
Speaker 1: the bad things, the ugly things, the terrible, the tragic
Speaker 1: things of life. In all things, God works for the
Speaker 1: good of those who love Him. Doesn't say they're good.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of bad in life. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of bad things happening in your life, not all things
Speaker 1: that happen to your good. But God says all things,
Speaker 1: God works them together for good.
Speaker 2: He can bring good out of even bad for those
Speaker 2: who love God.
Speaker 1: And usually we stop the verse right there. But the
Speaker 1: rest of the verse says this, We know that in
Speaker 1: all things God works for the good of those who
Speaker 1: love Him, who have been called circle the word called,
Speaker 1: who have been called according to His purpose and circle
Speaker 1: the word purpose, circle called and circle purpose, and draw
Speaker 1: a line between them because calling and purpose go together. Now,
Speaker 1: if I were to say to you, what do you
Speaker 1: think of first when I say the word call, make
Speaker 1: a call, get a call, be called, you think of
Speaker 1: a telephone and maybe they calling out for pizza, you know,
Speaker 1: something like that. When I have to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: a little true confession, as your pastor, I don't like telephones.
Speaker 1: I never have because telephones to me represent two things.
Speaker 1: Number One, they represent an interruption. And maybe they don't
Speaker 1: seem like an interruption to you, but if you were
Speaker 1: a pastor, you would be on call twenty four hours
Speaker 1: a day.
Speaker 2: Like doctors are.
Speaker 1: I get calls twenty four hours a day, often in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, and so when the phone rings,
Speaker 1: it usually means it rings when I'm busy or I'm relaxing,
Speaker 1: or I'm studying, or I'm sleeping, or I'm talking with
Speaker 1: somebody else or whatever. But it represents the interruption. The
Speaker 1: second thing reason I don't like it is because in
Speaker 1: my case, it often.
Speaker 2: Or normally means bad news.
Speaker 1: Somebody's calling and tell me about somebody's just died, somebody's
Speaker 1: just lost a loved one, somebody's gone been rushed to
Speaker 1: the hospital, somebody's just found.
Speaker 2: Out a cancer test.
Speaker 1: And as a pastor, of course, I deal with people
Speaker 1: in pain literally every day of my life. And so
Speaker 1: when the phone rings, I'm not thinking I wonder if
Speaker 1: I just won the lottery. First place, I don't use
Speaker 1: the lottery, which you shouldn't either. By the way, if
Speaker 1: you want to do the lotter, here's what you do.
Speaker 1: Come outside and just give me the money, okay, because
Speaker 1: you're not going to get anything out of it. I
Speaker 1: might as well put it to use and use it
Speaker 1: for the peace plan. But but you know, let's say
Speaker 1: the phone rang one day and you thought this is
Speaker 1: an interruption or it's going to be bad news. But
Speaker 1: somebody who was calling to tell you you had just
Speaker 1: inherited fifty million dollars. You would not want to miss
Speaker 1: that call. What if God called you? Let me give
Speaker 1: you a little tip. When God calls, you do not
Speaker 1: use call waiting. When God calls, you do not put
Speaker 1: it on the answer voicemail. When God calls, you do
Speaker 1: not let it ring and ring and ring and ring.
Speaker 1: Pick it up on the first call. When God calls you.
Speaker 1: Now the Bible says you have already been called. You
Speaker 1: have been called according to His purpose. A couple verses
Speaker 1: down from that, Romans eight thirty, it says this, look
Speaker 1: here on the screen. Those that God predestined he also called,
Speaker 1: and those he called he also justified, and those he
Speaker 1: justified he also glorified. Now that's a lot of big
Speaker 1: theological words, and we're going to cover some of those
Speaker 1: in the weeks ahead. But the word I wants to
Speaker 1: focus on as we begin live your calling is that
Speaker 1: word called. The Bible says you have been called by God.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? The word in the Greek is
Speaker 1: the word callao k a l e o calaioh. It's
Speaker 1: almost like calleaioh call, and the word calaoh means God
Speaker 1: is calling you. And it's used about one hundred times
Speaker 1: in the New Testament, over one hundred times, and most
Speaker 1: of the time it's talking about your assignment in life,
Speaker 1: your purpose in life, your mission in life, the reason
Speaker 1: God created it is called your calling. Now in purpose
Speaker 1: driven Life forty Days of Purpose, we looked at the
Speaker 1: word purpose, but actually the word calling, which refers to
Speaker 1: the same thing, is used ten times more than the
Speaker 1: word purpose in the Bible ten times more to refer
Speaker 1: to your assignment, your purpose, the reason you exist, why
Speaker 1: God made you, What on earth am I here for?
Speaker 1: And in the next six weeks we're going to look
Speaker 1: at why am I alive? And what am I supposed
Speaker 1: to do with my life? And if forty days of
Speaker 1: purpose was kindergarten, now we're moving a step up and
Speaker 1: we're going into the advanced class on God's calling on
Speaker 1: your life. Now, the Greek word is the word caleao
Speaker 1: for calling. The Latin word is another word you've heard
Speaker 1: of for calling, and it is the word vocation.
Speaker 2: You've heard of that a vocation.
Speaker 1: Vocation comes from the Latin word vos vosera.
Speaker 2: It means to speak at me, to call.
Speaker 1: We get the word voice, we get the word vocal,
Speaker 1: vocalized comes from the word vocation. It is your calling.
Speaker 1: So your vocation and your calling are the same thing. Now,
Speaker 1: here's the problem today, the word vocation has been so
Speaker 1: reduced and so minimized to just mean my job, my career.
Speaker 1: Your calling is not your career. I'm going to explain
Speaker 1: that in detail in the weeks ahead. But your calling
Speaker 1: is not your career. Your calling is far far far
Speaker 1: far far far far more significant, far larger, far more
Speaker 1: all encompassing than your career. So your vocation is misused
Speaker 1: when you say my vocation is my job.
Speaker 2: No, you have a job.
Speaker 1: But your vocation is your calling in life. And we
Speaker 1: are going to study that. The Bible, this book is
Speaker 1: the story of God calling people, and the whole Bible
Speaker 1: is about God calling Noah, God calling Abraham, and Abraham responding,
Speaker 1: God calling Moses for a purpose in life, and Moses responding.
Speaker 1: God calling Nehemiah, who was a builder. God calling Isaiah
Speaker 1: and Jeremiah and Ezekiel and Daniel and Hoseiah and Joel,
Speaker 1: and God calling David, and God calling Solomon. In the
Speaker 1: New Testament, God calling Peter and Paul and Mary. And
Speaker 1: if you laughed at that, you are incredibly old. Okay,
Speaker 1: some twenty something Peter, Paul, Mary.
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: Okay, God calling Paul, and God has a call on
Speaker 1: every person's life. Now, as your pastor, my prayer for
Speaker 1: you is going to be this verse there on your
Speaker 1: outline Ephesians chapter one. My prayer is that light will
Speaker 1: flood your hearts. You know when we sing that song
Speaker 1: open the eyes of my heart. Lord, you know that
Speaker 1: song that's from this verse, that's from this verse. My
Speaker 1: prayer is that light will flood your hearts and that
Speaker 1: you will understand the hope, the hope that was given
Speaker 1: to you when God called you. Now understand the calling
Speaker 1: on your life. When you understand you, when you understand
Speaker 1: your call in life, is going to give you incredible hope.
Speaker 1: And he says, I want you to understand that. He says,
Speaker 1: when you do, when you understand God's calling on your life,
Speaker 1: then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be
Speaker 1: yours together with all of God's people. He said, when
Speaker 1: you know your calling, you understand, then you discover the
Speaker 1: incredible blessings that you've been missing out on. The reason
Speaker 1: I'm so excited about the next six weeks together.
Speaker 2: To take you to a whole another level.
Speaker 1: To understand the glorious blessings that God wants to do
Speaker 1: in your life. Now, what we're going to do today
Speaker 1: is I'm just going to introduce this subject and give
Speaker 1: you an overview of eight things you need to know.
Speaker 1: I'm going to summarize one hundred different verses on calling
Speaker 1: in the Bible, and give you the eight things you
Speaker 1: need to know about your calling in life and why
Speaker 1: we're going to do this together.
Speaker 3: Do you ever wonder if your life really matters or
Speaker 3: what on earth you're here for. Pastor Rick wants to
Speaker 3: let you know that God has a good plan and
Speaker 3: purpose for your life. In his best selling book, The
Speaker 3: Purpose Driven Life, he lays out a simple, life changing
Speaker 3: roadmap to help you discover and live it. This book

Speaker 3: This edition includes a video introduction and audio teaching from
Speaker 3: Pastor Rick for each chapter, and two powerful bonus chapters
Speaker 3: on the biggest barriers to living a purpose driven life.
Speaker 3: As you go through this book, you'll uncover that your
Speaker 3: deepest meaning and fulfillment doesn't come from success or status,
Speaker 3: but from understanding and living out the purpose that God
Speaker 3: created you for. Request your copy today. When you give

Speaker 1: So let's look at eight things I need to know
Speaker 1: about my calling in life?
Speaker 2: Why God put me here on earth? Write these down.
Speaker 2: Number one.
Speaker 1: The first thing we learned from God's word is this,
Speaker 1: my calling is a gift from God. My calling is
Speaker 1: a gift from God. I don't earn it. I don't
Speaker 1: deserve it. I don't work for it. I don't bargain
Speaker 1: for it. I don't barter for it. It's just a
Speaker 1: flat out gift of God's grace. It is His present
Speaker 1: to me. When He created me, he called me, and
Speaker 1: it's all by grace. Galatians Chapter one says this, God,
Speaker 1: by his grace through Christ, has called you to become
Speaker 1: his people. Now circle the phrase by his grace. What
Speaker 1: is grace? Grace is undeserved kindness. Undeserved kindness. It's when
Speaker 1: God gives you what you need, now what you deserve.
Speaker 1: If we all got what we deserved, we wouldn't be here.
Speaker 1: The fact is, God says, I give you what you need,
Speaker 1: not what you deserve. Grace is the fact that God
Speaker 1: knows every dumb mistake you're going to make in life,
Speaker 1: and he still chose to create you. He knew all
Speaker 1: the times you were going to disobey him. And he
Speaker 1: still chose to create you. That is the grace of God.
Speaker 1: The fact is grace is that God knows all the
Speaker 1: things I've done. And even when I was thumbing my
Speaker 1: nose to him and rejecting him, God was saying.
Speaker 2: I love you, I love you, I love you.
Speaker 1: Now your calling is actually a part of your salvation.
Speaker 1: The calling to Christ is also the calling to your purpose.
Speaker 1: Two Timothy one nine says He has saved us and
Speaker 1: called us. Notice they go together. Saved us and called
Speaker 1: us to a holy life, not because of anything we've done,
Speaker 1: but because of his own purpose and grace, his purpose
Speaker 1: and his grace. So God gives gives me a calling
Speaker 1: in life simply because He wants to give me a
Speaker 1: calling life. I don't deserve it, He just gives it
Speaker 1: to me. Now circle the word purpose on that verse,
Speaker 1: because that leads us to the second thing we learn,
Speaker 1: and is this, I am called for God's purpose, not mine,
Speaker 1: but God's. I'm not called for God's God's I'm not
Speaker 1: called for my plan in life. I'm called for God's plan.
Speaker 1: God did not make you for you. You think God
Speaker 1: created you just to live a selfish little life of
Speaker 1: self centeredness.
Speaker 2: It's all about me, me, me, me, me. Are you
Speaker 2: kidding me?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: God didn't make you for you. You were made by
Speaker 1: God and you were made for God. And until you
Speaker 1: understand that, life's never gonna make sense, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: get bored, and you're gonna get frustrated, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: all kinds of difficulty because you don't understand you were
Speaker 1: made for God. I am called for God's purpose. God's
Speaker 1: calling is about his plan for my life, not my plan.
Speaker 1: His dream for my life, not my dream. His purpose
Speaker 1: for my life, not my purpose, or my parents' purpose,
Speaker 1: or my boyfriend's purpose, or my husband or wife's purpose,
Speaker 1: is for God's purpose for my life. Now, a good
Speaker 1: example of this is the story of Jacob and Esau.
Speaker 1: In the Bible, they were twins. There was a guy
Speaker 1: in the Bible named Abraham and he had a son
Speaker 1: named Isaac, and Isaac had two sons who were twins,
Speaker 1: Jacob and Esau. Now, in those days, the firstborn child,
Speaker 1: particularly the firstborn son, got all of the credit, got
Speaker 1: all of the glory, got all of the love. The
Speaker 1: firstborn son was the one who he would inherit the
Speaker 1: family inheritance and it's like you're special. Number one, you're great,
Speaker 1: and number two, Oh, we're glad you're here too.
Speaker 2: It was kind of like aside. And God didn't like that.
Speaker 1: And in the case of Esau and Jacob, Esau was
Speaker 1: the firstborn son, and God said, you know what, I
Speaker 1: have a calling for Esau's life and I have a
Speaker 1: calling for Jacob's life. But just because I want to
Speaker 1: do this, we're going to reverse it. And I'm choosing
Speaker 1: Jacob to get the blessing of the firstborn son, even
Speaker 1: though he was born second. And he told this to
Speaker 1: their mother, Rebecca, before she even delivered. In Romans chapter nine,
Speaker 1: it says this before the two boys were born, God
Speaker 1: told Rebecca, the older will serve the younger. Now, that's
Speaker 1: exact opposite of culture. And this was before the boys
Speaker 1: had done anything. In other words, they didn't deserve it,
Speaker 1: they hadn't merited anything good or bad. God said this
Speaker 1: so that the one chosen would be chosen because of
Speaker 1: God's own plan as his purpose. He was chosen because
Speaker 1: he was the one God wanted to call, not because
Speaker 1: of anything he did. I'm fortunate that I learned my
Speaker 1: call in life at a pretty pretty young age. I
Speaker 1: hadn't done anything, I hadn't deserved anything. I certainly wasn't
Speaker 1: worthy of any kind of call. But I learned what
Speaker 1: I'm going to be teaching you in the next six weeks.
Speaker 1: When I was sixteen years old old, I was actually
Speaker 1: working at a camp in northern California, up in the
Speaker 1: mountains and the Redwoods.
Speaker 2: And one night I went.
Speaker 1: Back to my cabin and I got down on my
Speaker 1: knees and I said, God, I don't understand it all,
Speaker 1: and if you're there, don't I just I want to
Speaker 1: trust you, and so God, I need to know what
Speaker 1: you want to do with my life. And I prayed
Speaker 1: a prayer that night and said, God, I'm signing my
Speaker 1: name on the check. I don't even know what the
Speaker 1: amount is, but I'm saying to you, I'm yours, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to serve you the rest of your life,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to fulfill the calling you have for me.
Speaker 1: And I prayed that prayer, and as soon as I
Speaker 1: finished praying that praier, do you want to know what's happened?
Speaker 2: Nothing?
Speaker 1: No angels came down and flapped their wings. There's no
Speaker 1: blinding light, no thunder, no lightning. My hair didn't turn
Speaker 1: white like Charleston Heston. You know, it's like nothing happened.
Speaker 1: But that was the turning point in my life when
Speaker 1: I recognized God's write and call on my life.
Speaker 2: And from that moment on.
Speaker 1: I became by vocational, which means I would have a
Speaker 1: job in which I would put food on the table,
Speaker 1: and I would have a job in which I would
Speaker 1: pay all my bills, but I would also have a calling,
Speaker 1: and my career and my calling might match sometimes but
Speaker 1: might not match other times, because my calling was from
Speaker 1: God and the career was just how I was making
Speaker 1: a living at that point. Career makes a living, calling
Speaker 1: makes a life. And so from that point on, I
Speaker 1: was by vocational the rest of my life, and I
Speaker 1: did a number of different jobs even though I had
Speaker 1: this call on my life. At one point, I was
Speaker 1: a dishwasher. At one point, I was a cook. At
Speaker 1: one point, I was a lifeguard for three years. At
Speaker 1: one point I worked in a butcher shop that was.
Speaker 2: A whole lot of fun.
Speaker 1: At one point, I picked fruit, I picked the grapes,
Speaker 1: and I picked pairs. At one point, I was an
Speaker 1: editor of a magazine. Another point, I taught college. I
Speaker 1: actually taught college. One point, I was a youth pastor,
Speaker 1: and then for the last thirty years I've been a pastor.
Speaker 1: My job has changed many, many, many times, but my
Speaker 1: calling has never changed. Regardless of what my job was,
Speaker 1: you have a calling that is unique to your life.
Speaker 1: The Bible says in Ephesians two ten, for we are
Speaker 1: God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.
Speaker 1: In other words, were made for a purpose to do
Speaker 1: good works which God prepared in advance for us to do. Now,
Speaker 1: this verse is filled with some important truth, so let's
Speaker 1: look at it. Versus says, we're God's workmanship.
Speaker 2: Circle.
Speaker 1: That word, the word there in the Bible, in the
Speaker 1: Greek is the word poem. It's the word we get
Speaker 1: poem from. You are God's poem. You are God's work
Speaker 1: of art. You are God's craftsmanship, workmanship. Many translations of
Speaker 1: the Bible translate this. You are God's masterpiece. He said, well,
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm much of a masterpiece. Well, then
Speaker 1: you don't realize how much value God has put in
Speaker 1: your life. He said, well, I'm not a masterpiece. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty beat up piece of junk. You're not junk. Jesus
Speaker 1: didn't die for junk. If you look at Jesus on
Speaker 1: the cross, arms outstretched and his nail pierced hands, and
Speaker 1: he's saying, this is how valuable you are. This is
Speaker 1: how valuable I'm You're valuable enough to die for. You're
Speaker 1: not junk because God doesn't create junk. Jesus doesn't die
Speaker 1: for junk, and the Holy Spirit doesn't live in junk.
Speaker 1: You are a masterpiece. You're God's masterpiece. But it only
Speaker 1: shows when you fulfill your calling. If you try to
Speaker 1: be what somebody else wants you to be, you're going
Speaker 1: to miss it and your your true greatness won't come out.
Speaker 1: You are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do
Speaker 1: good works. Those good works are your contribution to the world.
Speaker 1: You were not put on this planet just to breathe
Speaker 1: and take up space and die. You weren't put here
Speaker 1: to simply be a consumer. Oh there's a new kind
Speaker 1: of makeup, I think I'll get that. Oh there's a
Speaker 1: new clothing, I'll get that. No, you were put here
Speaker 1: to be a contributor, to make a contribution with your life,
Speaker 1: and the Bible calls your life contribution, your good works.
Speaker 1: It's part of your calling. And here's the cool thing.
Speaker 1: We all have different good works. Your contribution, your good
Speaker 1: works are going to be different than my contribution. My
Speaker 1: good works and my contribution good works are going to
Speaker 1: be different than the person sitting next to you.
Speaker 2: And God makes us.
Speaker 1: All different, gives us all different callings so that everything
Speaker 1: in the world gets done.
Speaker 2: It's all a part of it.
Speaker 1: God workmanship created to make a contribution, which God prepared
Speaker 1: in advance. Circle That prepared in advance for us to do.
Speaker 1: That means a long time before you thought of it.
Speaker 1: God had thought of your calling. In fact, here's the
Speaker 1: third principle, Number three. God chose my calling before I
Speaker 1: was born. You need to know that as we get
Speaker 1: ready to go in to live your calling the next
Speaker 1: six weeks. My calling is a gift from God. I'm
Speaker 1: called for God's purpose, not mine, and my calling was
Speaker 1: before I was born. God chose it. Let me show
Speaker 1: you some verses on this. Galatians chapter one, verse fifteen.
Speaker 1: Paul says, it pleased God in his kindness to choose
Speaker 1: me and call me even before I was born. What
Speaker 1: undeserved mercy. Here's another example, Jeremiah. Jeremiah chapter one, verse
Speaker 1: five before I shaped you in the womb.
Speaker 2: I knew all.
Speaker 1: About you, before you saw the light of day. I
Speaker 1: had holy plans for you. God called you before you
Speaker 1: were even born, and the Bible says God uniquely shaped you.
Speaker 1: You are a custom made baby, Isaiah forty four, Verse two.
Speaker 1: I am your creator. You were in my care even
Speaker 1: before you were born. Now, this is going to be
Speaker 1: our memory verse this week, so I want you to
Speaker 1: look at it in detail. It says three things. First,
Speaker 1: it says I am your creator.
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 1: It means you're not an accident. You were uniquely chosen,
Speaker 1: created and called by God. He said, why is it
Speaker 1: important for me to not think I'm an accident? Because
Speaker 1: if you think you're an accident, you're going to live
Speaker 1: like it, and you're going to accidentally just kind of
Speaker 1: go through life without any purpose, without any direction. You're
Speaker 1: not an accident. I am your creator. You're not an accident.
Speaker 1: You in my care. That means you're deeply loved. You
Speaker 1: were in God's care when you were in the womb,
Speaker 1: he says, even while you were growing inside your mother.
Speaker 1: You realize this is why abortion is wrong, because that's
Speaker 1: not a fetus in that mother. That's a baby that
Speaker 1: God has already numbered that baby's days. Chose that baby
Speaker 1: to be born. Accidental parents, yes, accidental babies. No. God
Speaker 1: chose to create and call you before you're even born.
Speaker 1: So you weren't a fetus before you were born. You
Speaker 1: were a baby already chosen, already called, and already created
Speaker 1: by God for a purpose and a calling. And then
Speaker 1: it says you were in my care before I was
Speaker 1: even born. God plans you before you're born. Now, I
Speaker 1: want you to memorize this verse because it will encourage
Speaker 1: you on days you feel discouraged, when you feel like
Speaker 1: your life's an accident. It's not when you feel nobody cares.
Speaker 1: God does when you feel like your life doesn't have
Speaker 1: a purpose. God plans you before you were born. Hi, everybody,
Speaker 1: this is pastor Rick. I would like to thank you.
Speaker 1: Thank you for being a part of our daily hope family.
Speaker 1: I don't get to say that often enough, but your
Speaker 1: generosity is helping us share the hope of Jesus with
Speaker 1: people here at home.
Speaker 2: And literally all around the world, even.
Speaker 1: In places where it's difficult and even dangerous to get
Speaker 1: the good news.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I recently heard from a woman named Eunice in Cameroon.
Speaker 1: Cameroon is a country in Central Africa, and she wrote
Speaker 1: to me. She said, Pastor Rick, I lost both my
Speaker 1: son and my daughter in the war, and now I'm
Speaker 1: raising four grandchildren on my own. I was overwhelmed with grief.
Speaker 1: But then she says, through the daily hope devotionals, I
Speaker 1: have found strength and comfort.
Speaker 2: And peace in God's word.
Speaker 1: So thank you for helping me hold on to hope.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: That's powerful.
Speaker 1: That's powerful, and that happened because your giving is helping
Speaker 1: Eunus find the strength to carry on, to raise her
Speaker 1: grandchildren and to keep trusting God even through the deep
Speaker 1: loss of her kids. Now, right now, I want to
Speaker 1: tell you about this because we have a special opportunity.
Speaker 1: There's some generous friends who have offered a matching grant
Speaker 1: that will double your gift. What that means is whatever
Speaker 1: you give will be doubled. Okay, they'll match it. That
Speaker 1: means whatever you give today will go twice as far
Speaker 1: to reach even more people with God's word. So can
Speaker 1: I ask you a favor. I want to encourage you
Speaker 1: and give your best gift you can today. But together,
Speaker 1: let's keep bringing the hope of Jesus Christ, to people
Speaker 1: like Unus, and to the billions of other people who
Speaker 1: still need to hear. There are still people who've never heard.
Speaker 2: The name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: We want to keep expanding to get the message to
Speaker 1: the whole world, and I am so grateful that we
Speaker 1: are in this mission together.
Speaker 2: God bless you.
Speaker 3: When you give a gift today, your gift will be
Speaker 3: doubled by the matching grant up to one hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 3: and we'll send you the purpose driven Life to say thanks.
