INTRODUCTION
Life is short. This is not a fact that makes us feel warm and fuzzy. But it is a fact nonetheless. God has called us to a more abundant life… a life worth living. But only a bucket list formed by God will be a bucket list worth checking off.
STUDY [tap on scripture to read]
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 1 TIMOTHY 1:15-17
Until we embrace where we have come from and where we stand now, we will not be ready to determine where we need to go. Planning the path forward means establishing goals and pursuing the standards that God holds dear; that is how we form our God-given bucket list.
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ MATTHEW 28:18-20
This is the path to God’s bucket list for us. Go! And as you go, put people first. Notice those in need. Notice those far from God. When you notice them, make a difference in them. Lead them closer to Jesus! Teach them how He can change their lives and bring beauty where only ashes exist. Go make disciples!
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God will establish new goals and give new standards for our paths moving forward.
