  • At some point in life,
  • 00:00:18.541 --> 00:00:19.843
  • All of us eventually come to the question,
  • 00:00:19.843 --> 00:00:22.412
  • "why am i here?"
  • 00:00:22.412 --> 00:00:24.013
  • Some decide that life is all about having fun.
  • 00:00:24.013 --> 00:00:27.183
  • Others make it their goal to accumulate things
  • 00:00:27.183 --> 00:00:29.853
  • Or to chase after fame or power.
  • 00:00:29.853 --> 00:00:32.722
  • And while there's nothing inherently wrong
  • 00:00:32.722 --> 00:00:34.724
  • With these pursuits,
  • 00:00:34.724 --> 00:00:36.226
  • They're very shortsighted when compared to eternity.

  • ♪ music ♪
  • 00:04:15.411 --> 00:04:23.086
  • Let's say there's a woman whose teenage daughter
  • 00:04:24.053 --> 00:04:28.157
  • Was killed by a drunk driver
  • 00:04:28.157 --> 00:04:31.027
  • And she has a passion to remove the menace
  • 00:04:31.027 --> 00:04:33.863
  • Of drunk driving from our nation's streets.
  • 00:04:33.863 --> 00:04:37.633
  • Or here is a pastor who growing up as a teenager,
  • 00:04:37.633 --> 00:04:41.471
  • Always was trying to invite his unsaved friends to church,
  • 00:04:41.471 --> 00:04:45.308
  • But every time he did so,
  • 00:04:45.308 --> 00:04:46.909
  • He was embarrassed by the poor quality of the church service
  • 00:04:46.909 --> 00:04:50.513
  • And the deafness, so to speak, to unbelievers.
  • 00:04:50.513 --> 00:04:53.850
  • And so he has this passion as a pastor
  • 00:04:53.850 --> 00:04:56.552
  • To create a church in which unbelievers
  • 00:04:56.552 --> 00:04:58.721
  • Would be comfortable attending
  • 00:04:58.721 --> 00:05:00.757
  • And that would speak to their special needs.
  • 00:05:00.757 --> 00:05:03.926
  • By the way,
  • 00:05:03.926 --> 00:05:05.461
  • All three of those examples are real-life examples of people
  • 00:05:05.461 --> 00:05:08.965
  • Who found their purpose in life
  • 00:05:08.965 --> 00:05:11.100
  • By the unique passion that they have.
  • 00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:14.203
  • What passion do you have?
  • 00:05:14.203 --> 00:05:16.339
  • What is it that inspires you?
  • 00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:18.708
  • What is it that makes you angry?
  • 00:05:18.708 --> 00:05:21.043
  • What needs do you see in the world
  • 00:05:21.043 --> 00:05:23.813
  • That keep you awake some nights?
  • 00:05:23.813 --> 00:05:27.049
  • You know, in our first service,
  • 00:05:27.049 --> 00:05:30.653
  • Andy horner was here and i just thought of it.
  • 00:05:30.653 --> 00:05:34.757
  • I saw him on the second row.
  • 00:05:34.757 --> 00:05:36.459
  • I thought of that as i was preaching this because, you know,
  • 00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:39.929
  • Andy's story is a miraculous one.
  • 00:05:39.929 --> 00:05:41.831
  • When he was 60 years old, he had retired,
  • 00:05:41.831 --> 00:05:45.568
  • He could have stayed retired,
  • 00:05:45.568 --> 00:05:46.969
  • He didn't need to work anymore,
  • 00:05:46.969 --> 00:05:48.938
  • But as he looked around,
  • 00:05:48.938 --> 00:05:50.473
  • He saw some needs in the world that really bothered him.
  • 00:05:50.473 --> 00:05:54.744
  • One need he saw was the need to provide funds
  • 00:05:54.744 --> 00:05:57.580
  • For missionaries and to support the work of missionaries.
  • 00:05:57.580 --> 00:06:02.151
  • But another desire, a need he saw was the need for women
  • 00:06:02.151 --> 00:06:06.289
  • Who were staying at home with small children
  • 00:06:06.289 --> 00:06:09.025
  • Or single women to be able to make a living
  • 00:06:09.025 --> 00:06:12.094
  • For their families.
  • 00:06:12.094 --> 00:06:14.230
  • And so out of that passion to generate money
  • 00:06:14.230 --> 00:06:17.633
  • To support missionaries and to meet the need of women
  • 00:06:17.633 --> 00:06:21.270
  • Who couldn't be in the workplace full time,
  • 00:06:21.270 --> 00:06:24.207
  • He developed premier designs,
  • 00:06:24.207 --> 00:06:26.609
  • A way to fill that very real need he saw in the world.
  • 00:06:26.609 --> 00:06:31.314
  • And the same is true for you and me.
  • 00:06:31.314 --> 00:06:32.882
  • God puts a passion in our heart.
  • 00:06:32.882 --> 00:06:36.052
  • You know, every life somebody said is focused
  • 00:06:36.052 --> 00:06:38.321
  • Either to fill a greed or to meet a need.
  • 00:06:38.321 --> 00:06:41.824
  • And the passion god puts in your heart
  • 00:06:41.824 --> 00:06:43.960
  • Is not to fill your own greed,
  • 00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:45.628
  • But to meet a genuine need in the world.
  • 00:06:45.628 --> 00:06:48.331
  • How do you identify what that passion is?
  • 00:06:48.331 --> 00:06:51.367
  • Our friend, bob beal from master planning international,
  • 00:06:51.367 --> 00:06:54.270
  • Gives five questions you can ask yourself
  • 00:06:54.270 --> 00:06:57.240
  • To help you determine what your passion is.
  • 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.176
  • Question number one,
  • 00:07:00.176 --> 00:07:01.577
  • What needs do i see in the world that concern me?
  • 00:07:01.577 --> 00:07:05.882
  • Question number two, if i could meet any need in the world,
  • 00:07:07.049 --> 00:07:11.587
  • What would that need be?
  • 00:07:11.587 --> 00:07:13.589
  • Number three, what are the most urgent needs in my country,
  • 00:07:14.757 --> 00:07:18.561
  • My community, my work, my school, and my church?
  • 00:07:18.561 --> 00:07:22.999
  • Number four, what age group
  • 00:07:22.999 --> 00:07:24.767
  • Or type of people naturally interests me?
  • 00:07:24.767 --> 00:07:29.005
  • And number five, what are the major needs
  • 00:07:29.005 --> 00:07:31.374
  • Among my neighbors, my friends, and my family?
  • 00:07:31.374 --> 00:07:35.411
  • Answering those questions will help you determine
  • 00:07:36.412 --> 00:07:38.714
  • The unique passion god has placed in your heart.
  • 00:07:38.714 --> 00:07:42.552
  • It is god who is at work within you,
  • 00:07:42.552 --> 00:07:44.520
  • Giving you the will to do his will.
  • 00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:48.691
  • But there's a second key in that verse,
  • 00:07:48.691 --> 00:07:50.993
  • And that is he gives you both the will and the power.
  • 00:07:50.993 --> 00:07:54.497
  • That is the ability,
  • 00:07:54.497 --> 00:07:55.865
  • The giftedness, to achieve your unique purpose.
  • 00:07:55.865 --> 00:07:59.802
  • If god has called you to do something,
  • 00:07:59.802 --> 00:08:02.038
  • He's not only going to give you a passion for it,
  • 00:08:02.038 --> 00:08:04.307
  • He's going to give you a special gift
  • 00:08:04.307 --> 00:08:06.375
  • In order to fulfill that passion,
  • 00:08:06.375 --> 00:08:08.711
  • And that's why the second key in discovering your purpose
  • 00:08:08.711 --> 00:08:11.614
  • Is identifying your gifts and your abilities.
  • 00:08:11.614 --> 00:08:14.850
  • Let me show you why that's so important.
  • 00:08:14.850 --> 00:08:17.553
  • You know, let's just say, for example,
  • 00:08:17.553 --> 00:08:19.055
  • I looked around the world and i said, "you know what?
  • 00:08:19.055 --> 00:08:20.790
  • The greatest need in the world is, i think,
  • 00:08:20.790 --> 00:08:22.892
  • Is to find a cure for cancer."
  • 00:08:22.892 --> 00:08:25.595
  • So i think maybe i would devote my life
  • 00:08:25.595 --> 00:08:28.831
  • To finding a cure for cancer.
  • 00:08:28.831 --> 00:08:30.266
  • How many of you would think that was a worthy goal?
  • 00:08:30.266 --> 00:08:33.102
  • Okay, i could develop quite a passion for that.
  • 00:08:33.102 --> 00:08:35.871
  • I mean, i could talk about how cancer affected my own family
  • 00:08:35.871 --> 00:08:39.141
  • And took my parents prematurely.
  • 00:08:39.141 --> 00:08:41.344
  • I could have a real passion for it.
  • 00:08:41.344 --> 00:08:42.945
  • The only problem with me devoting my life to that
  • 00:08:42.945 --> 00:08:45.648
  • Is i have no gifts in science whatsoever.
  • 00:08:45.648 --> 00:08:50.152
  • I mean, i almost flunked out of high school biology
  • 00:08:50.152 --> 00:08:53.222
  • Because i couldn't see anything in the microscope.
  • 00:08:53.222 --> 00:08:55.424
  • Everybody else saw these things swim.
  • 00:08:55.424 --> 00:08:57.426
  • I never saw anything in a microscope,
  • 00:08:57.426 --> 00:09:00.229
  • So i'm probably not the one to find a cure for cancer,
  • 00:09:00.229 --> 00:09:04.767
  • Because if god is going to gift you to do something,
  • 00:09:04.767 --> 00:09:07.470
  • He's not going to only give you the passion.
  • 00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:09.672
  • He's going to give you the corresponding gifts and abilities.
  • 00:09:09.672 --> 00:09:13.476
  • That's what philippians 2:13 is.
  • 00:09:13.476 --> 00:09:16.212
  • It is god giving you the will and the power
  • 00:09:16.212 --> 00:09:18.447
  • To achieve his purpose.
  • 00:09:18.447 --> 00:09:20.316
  • Many years ago, back in 1984,
  • 00:09:20.950 --> 00:09:24.487
  • I remember sitting in the coffee shop
  • 00:09:24.487 --> 00:09:26.489
  • At the houston intercontinental airport,
  • 00:09:26.489 --> 00:09:28.858
  • Had my yellow legal tablet out.
  • 00:09:28.858 --> 00:09:30.760
  • I had a few hours to wait for a flight,
  • 00:09:30.760 --> 00:09:33.095
  • And i really asked god to give me discernment
  • 00:09:33.095 --> 00:09:35.798
  • In writing down a clear purpose statement
  • 00:09:35.798 --> 00:09:39.035
  • That would guide the rest of my life.
  • 00:09:39.035 --> 00:09:41.404
  • And i wrote this simple statement,
  • 00:09:41.404 --> 00:09:42.972
  • "my purpose is to be an effective communicator
  • 00:09:42.972 --> 00:09:47.677
  • Of god's word."
  • 00:09:47.677 --> 00:09:49.545
  • I remember the words of my old seminary professor
  • 00:09:49.545 --> 00:09:52.348
  • Who used to say, "men, it is a sin to bore people
  • 00:09:52.348 --> 00:09:56.952
  • With the word of god."
  • 00:09:56.952 --> 00:09:58.854
  • (congregation laughing)
  • 00:09:58.854 --> 00:10:00.189
  • I hear an amen on that somewhere.
  • 00:10:00.189 --> 00:10:02.224
  • (congregation laughing)
  • 00:10:02.224 --> 00:10:03.459
  • Don't hurt my feelings, but that is true.
  • 00:10:03.459 --> 00:10:05.861
  • And so i wanted to devote my life
  • 00:10:05.861 --> 00:10:07.730
  • To clearly communicating god's word.
  • 00:10:07.730 --> 00:10:10.132
  • And i suppose i had that passion,
  • 00:10:10.132 --> 00:10:12.001
  • But i had no communication skill whatsoever.
  • 00:10:12.001 --> 00:10:15.037
  • Every time i stood up, i stuttered and stammered,
  • 00:10:15.037 --> 00:10:17.840
  • Or when i sat down to try to write,
  • 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.542
  • I couldn't write a cohesive sentence that made sense.
  • 00:10:19.542 --> 00:10:24.213
  • That's probably not my calling if i don't have the gifts
  • 00:10:24.213 --> 00:10:28.651
  • To go along with that,
  • 00:10:28.651 --> 00:10:29.885
  • And i know some of you bible students,
  • 00:10:29.885 --> 00:10:31.587
  • You're already objecting.
  • 00:10:31.587 --> 00:10:33.089
  • You say, "oh, wait a minute, pastor, what about moses?
  • 00:10:33.089 --> 00:10:36.559
  • He stuttered.
  • 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:37.993
  • He stammered, but god used him supernaturally."
  • 00:10:37.993 --> 00:10:41.564
  • Well, that's true, but moses's major calling
  • 00:10:41.564 --> 00:10:44.834
  • Was not to be a communicator of god's word,
  • 00:10:44.834 --> 00:10:47.570
  • It was to be a leader of god's people,
  • 00:10:47.570 --> 00:10:50.339
  • And moses had tremendous leadership abilities
  • 00:10:50.339 --> 00:10:53.509
  • From the very beginning as a child growing up
  • 00:10:53.509 --> 00:10:55.811
  • In pharaoh's palace that were exhibited
  • 00:10:55.811 --> 00:10:57.980
  • Throughout the rest of his life.
  • 00:10:57.980 --> 00:11:00.015
  • If god has called you to do something,
  • 00:11:00.015 --> 00:11:01.884
  • He will give you the gifts to do that.
  • 00:11:01.884 --> 00:11:04.386
  • How can you identify your unique gifts and abilities?
  • 00:11:04.386 --> 00:11:08.257
  • Again, let me share with you five questions
  • 00:11:08.257 --> 00:11:10.493
  • You ought to ask yourself.
  • 00:11:10.493 --> 00:11:12.128
  • And by the way, this is great material for you to use
  • 00:11:12.128 --> 00:11:15.097
  • With your children, your grandchildren.
  • 00:11:15.097 --> 00:11:17.800
  • There are so many millennials today who are wandering
  • 00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:20.402
  • Through life without any clear direction
  • 00:11:20.402 --> 00:11:23.172
  • Because they really don't know
  • 00:11:23.172 --> 00:11:24.607
  • How to define their purpose in life.
  • 00:11:24.607 --> 00:11:26.408
  • Here are some questions to help you identify
  • 00:11:26.408 --> 00:11:28.310
  • Your gifts and abilities.
  • 00:11:28.310 --> 00:11:29.478
  • Number one, what abilities do you have
  • 00:11:29.478 --> 00:11:33.115
  • That other people seem to notice and appreciate,
  • 00:11:33.115 --> 00:11:35.818
  • Things they compliment you about?
  • 00:11:35.818 --> 00:11:37.887
  • Number two, i love this.
  • 00:11:38.387 --> 00:11:39.922
  • Suppose you were asked to give a how-to seminar
  • 00:11:39.922 --> 00:11:44.059
  • In your church or civic group on any topic you chose.
  • 00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:48.531
  • What topic would you feel the most comfortable addressing?
  • 00:11:48.531 --> 00:11:52.401
  • Number three, outside of recreational pursuits,
  • 00:11:53.335 --> 00:11:56.372
  • List five accomplishments
  • 00:11:56.372 --> 00:11:58.974
  • That have given you the most satisfaction.
  • 00:11:58.974 --> 00:12:01.310
  • What aspect of these experiences did you enjoy?
  • 00:12:01.310 --> 00:12:05.314
  • Number four, is there a common denominator
  • 00:12:06.215 --> 00:12:08.951
  • In those five experiences that you could identify?
  • 00:12:08.951 --> 00:12:14.223
  • What is it?
  • 00:12:14.557 --> 00:12:15.391
  • I mean, i think about
  • 00:12:15.391 --> 00:12:16.725
  • The five most satisfying experiences of my life.
  • 00:12:16.725 --> 00:12:20.329
  • They were different,
  • 00:12:20.329 --> 00:12:21.697
  • And yet they all shared one common characteristic.
  • 00:12:21.697 --> 00:12:23.966
  • They all dealt with communicating,
  • 00:12:23.966 --> 00:12:27.136
  • Whether it's to a church group or to a secular audience,
  • 00:12:27.136 --> 00:12:30.439
  • Or something about communication that satisfied me with you.
  • 00:12:30.439 --> 00:12:34.243
  • That might be working with children,
  • 00:12:34.243 --> 00:12:36.946
  • It might be serving other people,
  • 00:12:36.946 --> 00:12:39.915
  • It might be organizing events,
  • 00:12:39.915 --> 00:12:41.984
  • But what one word would describe that satisfaction?
  • 00:12:41.984 --> 00:12:46.021
  • And number five, hopefully these questions
  • 00:12:46.021 --> 00:12:48.624
  • Have helped you identify one area
  • 00:12:48.624 --> 00:12:51.160
  • In which you are both interested and gifted.
  • 00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:54.897
  • In a word, what is that area?
  • 00:12:54.897 --> 00:12:58.567
  • And knowing what your passion is,
  • 00:12:58.567 --> 00:13:01.604
  • What your giftedness is will help you identify your purpose
  • 00:13:01.604 --> 00:13:05.507
  • And help you fill out that sentence.
  • 00:13:05.507 --> 00:13:07.409
  • My purpose in life is to what?
  • 00:13:07.409 --> 00:13:11.914
  • Now, remember, we all have a general purpose in life.
  • 00:13:11.914 --> 00:13:14.350
  • Jesus said that in john 4:34.
  • 00:13:14.350 --> 00:13:16.819
  • Jesus said,
  • 00:13:16.819 --> 00:13:17.786
  • "my food, that is, my purpose,
  • 00:13:17.786 --> 00:13:19.889
  • Is to do the will of him who sent me,
  • 00:13:19.889 --> 00:13:22.725
  • And to accomplish his work."
  • 00:13:22.725 --> 00:13:25.060
  • That ought to be the purpose statement of every christian.
  • 00:13:25.060 --> 00:13:27.730
  • But jesus also understood he had a unique purpose
  • 00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:30.633
  • In coming to earth that nobody else could fulfill.
  • 00:13:30.633 --> 00:13:33.736
  • In matthew 20:28, he said,
  • 00:13:33.736 --> 00:13:35.771
  • "just as the son of man did not come to be served,
  • 00:13:35.771 --> 00:13:39.842
  • But to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
  • 00:13:39.842 --> 00:13:45.180
  • Once we define our god-given purpose in life,
  • 00:13:46.115 --> 00:13:50.419
  • It's important to connect every part of our life
  • 00:13:50.419 --> 00:13:54.556
  • To that overarching purpose statement,
  • 00:13:54.556 --> 00:13:57.393
  • And that's where objectives come in.
  • 00:13:57.393 --> 00:14:00.329
  • A definition of an objective is an objective
  • 00:14:00.329 --> 00:14:03.032
  • Is a simple statement expressing desires
  • 00:14:03.032 --> 00:14:06.268
  • For specific areas of our life.
  • 00:14:06.268 --> 00:14:08.971
  • No matter what your purpose is,
  • 00:14:08.971 --> 00:14:10.506
  • You've got to be able to connect that
  • 00:14:10.506 --> 00:14:12.341
  • To every part of your life,
  • 00:14:12.341 --> 00:14:13.842
  • Your spiritual life, your family relationships, your work,
  • 00:14:13.842 --> 00:14:17.446
  • Every part of your life,
  • 00:14:17.446 --> 00:14:19.315
  • And objectives are the way to do that.
  • 00:14:19.315 --> 00:14:22.151
  • Let me show you how to develop the objectives
  • 00:14:22.151 --> 00:14:24.653
  • For the seven major areas of your life.
  • 00:14:24.653 --> 00:14:27.189
  • I've put on your outline a grid
  • 00:14:27.189 --> 00:14:29.792
  • Showing the seven major life areas,
  • 00:14:29.792 --> 00:14:32.127
  • Spiritual, physical, that is your health,
  • 00:14:32.127 --> 00:14:35.230
  • Family, vocational, personal growth,
  • 00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:38.600
  • Social, financial.
  • 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.970
  • What i want to ask you to do, perhaps not right now,
  • 00:14:40.970 --> 00:14:43.539
  • But sometime as you work through this material,
  • 00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:46.475
  • Give yourself a grade on a scale of 1 to 10
  • 00:14:46.475 --> 00:14:49.178
  • About how you think you're doing in each of these areas.
  • 00:14:49.178 --> 00:14:51.981
  • How are you doing in your spiritual relationship with god?
  • 00:14:51.981 --> 00:14:55.451
  • How's your health doing?
  • 00:14:55.451 --> 00:14:56.685
  • How are you doing with your finances?
  • 00:14:56.685 --> 00:14:58.787
  • How are you doing in every area of life?
  • 00:14:58.787 --> 00:15:02.024
  • Now, one would be the least,
  • 00:15:02.024 --> 00:15:04.727
  • 10 would be you're knocking it out of the park.
  • 00:15:04.727 --> 00:15:07.463
  • You know, in some of those areas,
  • 00:15:07.463 --> 00:15:08.731
  • You may feel like you're doing great.
  • 00:15:08.731 --> 00:15:10.132
  • You'd give yourself a seven, eight, nine, 10.
  • 00:15:10.132 --> 00:15:12.935
  • If that's true in those areas, your objective would be,
  • 00:15:14.003 --> 00:15:16.739
  • I want to keep doing whatever it is
  • 00:15:16.739 --> 00:15:18.841
  • That's giving you success in that area.
  • 00:15:18.841 --> 00:15:21.510
  • However, if it's less than a seven,
  • 00:15:21.510 --> 00:15:23.445
  • It might help you formulate some things
  • 00:15:23.445 --> 00:15:25.881
  • Of what you would like to do in those areas to improve.
  • 00:15:25.881 --> 00:15:29.885
  • Remember, a purpose statement completes the sentence,
  • 00:15:29.885 --> 00:15:32.821
  • "my reason for living is to,"
  • 00:15:32.821 --> 00:15:35.791
  • But an objective statement completes the sentence,
  • 00:15:35.791 --> 00:15:38.861
  • "i want to,"
  • 00:15:38.861 --> 00:15:40.129
  • Or "i want to continue doing" whatever
  • 00:15:40.129 --> 00:15:42.965
  • For each of these areas.
  • 00:15:42.965 --> 00:15:44.266
  • Let me show you how that works.
  • 00:15:44.266 --> 00:15:45.667
  • Let's just say you happen
  • 00:15:45.667 --> 00:15:47.202
  • To be that christian business person, a man or a woman,
  • 00:15:47.202 --> 00:15:49.471
  • And you really want to show other people
  • 00:15:49.471 --> 00:15:53.342
  • How the bible has principles that will help you in business.
  • 00:15:53.342 --> 00:15:56.845
  • You want to integrate your business
  • 00:15:56.845 --> 00:15:58.714
  • With your christian faith,
  • 00:15:58.714 --> 00:16:01.283
  • So how would that affect all these areas of your life?
  • 00:16:01.283 --> 00:16:04.186
  • What about your spiritual life?
  • 00:16:04.186 --> 00:16:06.155
  • Well, wouldn't you agree with me?
  • 00:16:06.155 --> 00:16:07.790
  • If you are going to operate your business
  • 00:16:07.790 --> 00:16:09.691
  • By biblical principles,
  • 00:16:09.691 --> 00:16:11.026
  • You have to know what those principles are.
  • 00:16:11.026 --> 00:16:12.728
  • So maybe you say, "i want to know the bible better.
  • 00:16:12.728 --> 00:16:16.165
  • That's a goal i have.
  • 00:16:16.165 --> 00:16:17.299
  • I want to know the bible better."
  • 00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:20.235
  • Or maybe in your physical life, you would say,
  • 00:16:20.235 --> 00:16:22.571
  • "you know, i want to be a model christian businessperson.
  • 00:16:22.571 --> 00:16:25.407
  • I want to spend the rest of my life doing this,
  • 00:16:25.407 --> 00:16:27.142
  • But i'm in terrible health,
  • 00:16:27.142 --> 00:16:28.644
  • And if i keep going like this,
  • 00:16:28.644 --> 00:16:30.546
  • I'm not going to be around that much longer."
  • 00:16:30.546 --> 00:16:32.681
  • Well, it's hard to be a model to other people
  • 00:16:32.681 --> 00:16:34.683
  • If you're dead.
  • 00:16:34.683 --> 00:16:35.984
  • So you might say, "in your physical life,
  • 00:16:35.984 --> 00:16:37.920
  • I want to live a long life, or i want to get in better shape."
  • 00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:41.290
  • Or maybe in your family area,
  • 00:16:41.290 --> 00:16:43.258
  • You gave yourself a three or four in that area,
  • 00:16:43.258 --> 00:16:45.994
  • And you would say, "you know, if i'm going to model
  • 00:16:45.994 --> 00:16:47.696
  • The principles of business in the scripture,
  • 00:16:47.696 --> 00:16:49.598
  • I need to teach people how to balance their business
  • 00:16:49.598 --> 00:16:52.468
  • With their family life,"
  • 00:16:52.468 --> 00:16:54.103
  • Or maybe their vocation.
  • 00:16:54.103 --> 00:16:55.771
  • You know, you may be a christian businessman,
  • 00:16:55.771 --> 00:16:58.307
  • But your business is headed toward bankruptcy,
  • 00:16:58.307 --> 00:17:00.976
  • And nobody wants to model that kind of business.
  • 00:17:00.976 --> 00:17:04.546
  • So you might say,
  • 00:17:04.546 --> 00:17:06.081
  • "in your vocation, i want to start growing my business more."
  • 00:17:06.081 --> 00:17:08.717
  • You see, your objectives all ought to tie
  • 00:17:08.717 --> 00:17:11.753
  • Into the purpose that god has given you.
  • 00:17:11.753 --> 00:17:15.257
  • You identify what your purpose is,
  • 00:17:15.257 --> 00:17:18.193
  • Discover your purpose,
  • 00:17:18.694 --> 00:17:20.095
  • Your reason for living, why god created you.
  • 00:17:20.095 --> 00:17:23.632
  • Then you develop objectives
  • 00:17:23.632 --> 00:17:27.503
  • That will help you meet that overall purpose statement.
  • 00:17:27.503 --> 00:17:30.639
  • And that leads to the third word, goals.
  • 00:17:30.639 --> 00:17:33.809
  • Formulating specific goals.
  • 00:17:33.809 --> 00:17:36.879
  • Goals are the vehicles
  • 00:17:36.879 --> 00:17:38.981
  • By which we transform our objectives into reality.
  • 00:17:38.981 --> 00:17:44.253
  • Now, this is where a lot of people get mixed up,
  • 00:17:45.187 --> 00:17:47.356
  • And quite frankly,
  • 00:17:47.356 --> 00:17:48.724
  • It's the reason so many people live aimless lives.
  • 00:17:48.724 --> 00:17:51.727
  • They don't have clearly defined goals.
  • 00:17:51.727 --> 00:17:54.897
  • Let me give you a definition of a goal.
  • 00:17:54.897 --> 00:17:56.632
  • A goal is a desired accomplishment
  • 00:17:56.632 --> 00:17:59.835
  • That is easily measured
  • 00:17:59.835 --> 00:18:02.004
  • By time and performance.
  • 00:18:02.004 --> 00:18:05.007
  • It's a desired accomplishment
  • 00:18:05.007 --> 00:18:06.675
  • That can be measured by time and performance.
  • 00:18:06.675 --> 00:18:08.944
  • For example, here, i say,
  • 00:18:08.944 --> 00:18:10.712
  • "well, i want to know the bible better."
  • 00:18:10.712 --> 00:18:13.382
  • Is that a goal?
  • 00:18:13.382 --> 00:18:15.083
  • No, that's an objective, but it's not a goal.
  • 00:18:15.083 --> 00:18:18.820
  • I mean, just to say, i want to know my bible better.
  • 00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:20.822
  • Well, how will you know when you know it better?
  • 00:18:20.822 --> 00:18:23.125
  • No, a goal would be specific.
  • 00:18:23.125 --> 00:18:25.861
  • I want to read one chapter of the bible every day,
  • 00:18:25.861 --> 00:18:30.632
  • Beginning today.
  • 00:18:30.632 --> 00:18:33.001
  • The accomplishment is clear,
  • 00:18:33.001 --> 00:18:34.570
  • A chapter of the bible every day,
  • 00:18:34.570 --> 00:18:36.939
  • And there's a time attached to it,
  • 00:18:36.939 --> 00:18:38.907
  • A start time or a finish time,
  • 00:18:38.907 --> 00:18:41.143
  • By starting today.
  • 00:18:41.143 --> 00:18:43.979
  • Or maybe you would say, you know,
  • 00:18:43.979 --> 00:18:46.148
  • I want to be thinner. (laughs)
  • 00:18:46.148 --> 00:18:48.817
  • We all had that goal, most of us.
  • 00:18:48.817 --> 00:18:51.587
  • Is that a goal?
  • 00:18:51.587 --> 00:18:52.888
  • No, that's an objective. i want to be thinner.
  • 00:18:52.888 --> 00:18:55.357
  • A goal would be a specific accomplishment.
  • 00:18:55.357 --> 00:18:57.626
  • I want to lose five pounds.
  • 00:18:57.626 --> 00:18:59.294
  • That's the accomplishment.
  • 00:18:59.294 --> 00:19:00.696
  • And i want to attach a date to it by april the 30th.
  • 00:19:00.696 --> 00:19:04.800
  • Anytime you're formulating a goal,
  • 00:19:04.800 --> 00:19:06.935
  • Remember a goal answers the question,
  • 00:19:06.935 --> 00:19:10.038
  • "what do i want to happen?"
  • 00:19:10.038 --> 00:19:11.573
  • That's the accomplishment.
  • 00:19:11.573 --> 00:19:13.275
  • Secondly, "how will i know it happened?"
  • 00:19:13.275 --> 00:19:15.244
  • What's the measurement?
  • 00:19:15.244 --> 00:19:16.878
  • Five pounds, one chapter,
  • 00:19:16.878 --> 00:19:19.581
  • Maybe in your financial life,
  • 00:19:19.581 --> 00:19:21.583
  • You know, i want to get in better financial shape.
  • 00:19:21.583 --> 00:19:23.118
  • That's not a goal, that's an objective.
  • 00:19:23.118 --> 00:19:24.953
  • A goal would be, "i want to save $3,000 by december 31st."
  • 00:19:24.953 --> 00:19:29.491
  • And "when do i want this to happen?"
  • 00:19:29.491 --> 00:19:31.593
  • The starting date or the completion date.
  • 00:19:31.593 --> 00:19:35.030
  • And i've given you some examples of goals in your life.
  • 00:19:35.030 --> 00:19:39.101
  • Reading a chapter of the bible every day,
  • 00:19:39.101 --> 00:19:41.503
  • Or in the physical world,
  • 00:19:41.503 --> 00:19:42.804
  • I want to exercise at least 20 minutes a day,
  • 00:19:42.804 --> 00:19:46.074
  • Beginning tomorrow.
  • 00:19:46.074 --> 00:19:47.909
  • Tomorrow's always a better time to start that program,
  • 00:19:47.909 --> 00:19:50.879
  • But you see, at least you've got an objective down there.
  • 00:19:50.879 --> 00:19:53.615
  • You've got a time that you're going to start doing this
  • 00:19:53.615 --> 00:19:56.652
  • And on and on and on it goes.
  • 00:19:56.652 --> 00:19:59.588
  • That's the difference between a purpose,
  • 00:19:59.588 --> 00:20:03.125
  • Objectives to help you meet that purpose,
  • 00:20:03.125 --> 00:20:05.694
  • And goals that will help you meet your objectives.
  • 00:20:05.694 --> 00:20:08.330
  • Now, i know you all well enough
  • 00:20:08.330 --> 00:20:12.601
  • To know some of you are probably sitting here thinking,
  • 00:20:12.601 --> 00:20:16.204
  • "should we really be talking about this in church?"
  • 00:20:17.239 --> 00:20:20.409
  • I mean, aren't we supposed to be talking
  • 00:20:20.409 --> 00:20:21.643
  • About evangelism and discipleship?
  • 00:20:21.643 --> 00:20:25.580
  • Why are we talking about goals?
  • 00:20:25.580 --> 00:20:28.050
  • Ladies and gentlemen, there is no more effective way
  • 00:20:28.050 --> 00:20:33.388
  • To be a disciple of jesus christ
  • 00:20:34.022 --> 00:20:35.791
  • Than by discovering his unique purpose for your life
  • 00:20:35.791 --> 00:20:39.561
  • And living out that purpose.
  • 00:20:39.561 --> 00:20:42.130
  • That is why god left us here,
  • 00:20:42.130 --> 00:20:44.499
  • To fulfill his unique purpose for us.
  • 00:20:44.499 --> 00:20:48.570

  • We read it from the new american standard version
  • 00:20:56.044 --> 00:20:58.013
  • A few moments ago.
  • 00:20:58.013 --> 00:20:59.448
  • Let me read this to you from the phillips paraphrase.
  • 00:20:59.448 --> 00:21:02.150
  • Paul writes, "live life, then,
  • 00:21:02.150 --> 00:21:05.454
  • With a due sense of responsibility,
  • 00:21:05.454 --> 00:21:08.623
  • Not as men who don't know the meaning and purpose of life,
  • 00:21:08.623 --> 00:21:12.761
  • But as those who do.
  • 00:21:12.761 --> 00:21:14.863
  • Make the best use of your time,
  • 00:21:14.863 --> 00:21:17.099
  • Despite all the evils of these days.
  • 00:21:17.099 --> 00:21:20.535
  • Don't be vague, but grasp firmly
  • 00:21:20.535 --> 00:21:24.740
  • What you know to be the will of the lord."
  • 00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:28.777
  • What paul is talking about is know your purpose.
  • 00:21:28.777 --> 00:21:34.015
  • In his book, "the deeper life," daniel henderson writes,
  • 00:21:35.117 --> 00:21:37.652
  • "i've heard it said many times,
  • 00:21:37.652 --> 00:21:40.355
  • You're not really ready to live
  • 00:21:40.355 --> 00:21:43.392
  • Until you know what you want written on your tombstone.
  • 00:21:43.392 --> 00:21:47.629
  • If you were to die today,
  • 00:21:48.196 --> 00:21:50.465
  • Would those who know you the best be able to say,
  • 00:21:50.465 --> 00:21:54.236
  • 'this is why you lived?'"
  • 00:21:54.236 --> 00:21:57.739
  • That's a profound question.
  • 00:21:58.340 --> 00:22:00.275
  • Would those who know you the very best
  • 00:22:00.275 --> 00:22:02.811
  • At your funeral be able to stand up and say,
  • 00:22:02.811 --> 00:22:04.813
  • "this is the purpose for which you lived?"
  • 00:22:04.813 --> 00:22:08.116
  • "is it clear to you why you're here?
  • 00:22:08.116 --> 00:22:10.919
  • When this life comes to an end,
  • 00:22:10.919 --> 00:22:13.188
  • Will you look back and conclude
  • 00:22:13.188 --> 00:22:15.157

  • 00:22:17.492 --> 00:22:20.529

  • 00:22:20.529 --> 00:22:25.200
