Why Am I Here?

BIG IDEA:
God has an amazing purpose for your life and He wants to see you thrive!
TEACHING POINTS:
  • • You are here for God’s purpose and not your own.
  • • God’s purpose for you is determined.
  • • God gives you power to accomplish His purpose.
SCRIPTURE: Romans 8:28-30 NIV
OPENING QUESTIONS:
  1. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being totally sad that it’s almost over and 10 being, you wished it had been over last August; how do you feel about the end of the pro-football season next week?
  2. What is one thing that you are thankful for from last week?
  3. What is something that was stressful or difficult this week and how can we help?

IN THE WORD:
  1. Read Romans 8:28-30 out loud from two different translations. Have someone summarize the main points.
  2. Paul says that Jesus is the first born among many. Who are the many and what is the relationship between Jesus and the many?
  3. What did God give those He called?
  4. What does this tell us about God? What does this tell us about people?

MAKING IT PERSONAL:
  1. What do you struggle with that keeps you from living out God's purpose?
  2. Who is God asking you to walk alongside this week in their journey to find Jesus or to walk with them? 
  3. How can we pray for each other as we do this in the coming week? 



During our Chasing Purpose study, we want everyone to take a step   each week by making an "I will..." statement. Share your "I will"  statement with your group.
