INTRODUCTION
Few things in this life are more important than finding and embracing one’s purpose. Many look for this in their chosen vocation and perform admirably… even heroically. But for all of us, regardless of vocation, the deepest purpose of life will only truly be discovered through our interaction with our Maker.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 1 Peter 4:7-10
It is humbling to reflect on the love shone to us from God through the acts of Jesus Christ. But it is a whole new level of challenge and conviction to begin to own that love and display it in the ways we serve one another. The challenge of being God’s ambassador is an honor but also quite a tall order!
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 1 Peter 4:11
Words are powerful! This is not more significantly illustrated than in the fact that God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, gives Himself the nickname “The Word”. Our intimacy with others and our impact in this world as God’s ambassadors would be absolutely revolutionized if we were to own that power and be the conduits for God’s love and hope daily in this world.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God would reveal His purpose for your life in new and exciting ways each and every day this week.
