Purposeful Faith by Pastor Ty


23. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord,

not for human masters, 24. since you know that you will receive an

inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

- Colossians 3:23-24


There are three questions we need to ask ourselves.


1.Where have I been? Honestly admit your mistakes. ask God for

forgiveness and be about HIS business! If we confess our sins, he is

faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all

unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 - Let us not become weary in doing good, for

at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9


2. Where am I now? The choices we make need to honor Christ in

everything we do… For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to

do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:10


3. Where am I going? Honor and deal with the past but keep going

forward. God will feed your heart through His Word, but we must seek

Him to be transformed. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the

Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and

a future. Jeremiah 29:11


Consider these questions… “and Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart”…

Hope and Perspective by Pastor Ty In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” we see a great change in the character, George Bailey. What is different about George Bailey's life after Clarence (Angel) shows him what life would have been like without him? In terms of circumstances, absolutely nothing. At this point, for all he knows his life is exactly as it was a few hours before; Clarence did nothing to change that. The Bailey Building and Loan has still lost $8000- it could be forced to close and people could lose their life savings and jobs, rumors of embezzlement – the family ruined – George’s Arrest -Scandal! But George has changed! He has a new Attitude… a new Perspective on what’s really important Family, Friends and his Faith in God. It’s easy to forget in the movie that the real change has nothing to do with money and affection on Christmas Eve. The real change is within his soul. For the first time George Bailey is looking at life with new eyes. Same for a group of shepherds at the first Christmas – they had a change I attitude/perspective in Luke 2 the angels put on a celebration to announce the birth of Jesus. The shepherds went and found the baby Jesus. Their station in life had not changed but their attitude had: The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (V20) May this Christmas give us a new perspective and a vertical focus all year long.
