Purpose Moments with God

It’s probable that you’ve been seeking direction and purpose for your life. It’s possible you’ve explored different philosophies and religions in your search. There’s even a chance you’ve discovered the radical alternative that Jesus teachings offer.

Join us as we eavesdrop on five different purpose conversations between God and people struggling to connect with their purpose in life.

Fellowship: now there’s a word I’m sure you used at least five times at work this week. OK, so you probably didn’t talk about fellowship, but I can bet you did it, or you wanted to. We humans are hardwired for togetherness; connection, to hang out, chill. But like the rest of the population on this planet you know it can be tough to feel truly connected. Listen in this week on a conversation God had with the first convicted murderer in earth’s history. Shocking as it may be, we’ll discover some powerful things about “fellowship” and how you can get close to others without getting burned.

Created to Become Like Christ

Jesus Christ is arguably the most influential person to have ever walked this earth. Belief in his deity isn’t required to recognize the power of his teachings and life. Others who have changed the world, like Napoleon, Pascal, & Einstein all recognized that Jesus of Nazareth outdid them. Who could deny that the world would be a better place if people would treat others the way Jesus actually treated people. But that seems a rather lofty ideal, completely out of reach for the rest of us. If that has been your thinking, then you’ll be stunned as you listen in on a conversation Jesus had one night with his disciples.

If we’ve learned one thing from what we’re now calling the Great Recession, it seems to be that the little guy is powerless in the face of world events.

But when we listen in on a conversation that God had with Moses, we’ll discover the power to change the course of history comes from unexpected places. Do you have what it takes to make a difference? You may be surprised at the answer.

Jonah has to be one of the “luckiest” men who ever lived. Millions crave to know for sure whether God exists, but Jonah talked personally with him. Millions hunger to have a life mission to make the struggles of life worth enduring, but Jonah had a direct commission from God. Millions have wished for a miracle when death stared them in the face, but Jonah couldn’t die even when he tried. A big fish foiled his suicide attempt. But did Jonah feel lucky? Not one bit. And it was all because of “those people.” You have them in your life too. Listen in as God helps Jonah figure out what to do about “those people” in your life.

Planned for God’s Pleasure

Would you like to know what makes God smile? If you grew up around religion at all you probably have a long list of the things that make God frown.  But what makes God smile. Listen in on a conversation between Jesus and a rather sour-faced teacher of the law and you’ll hear Jesus summarize everything God has ever said to human beings in one sentence. And in the heart of that summary we’ll get a picture of God with a big grin on his face.
