DON’T PUT LIFE ON HOLD

The end of all things is near…

1 Peter 4:7 (NIV)

HOW WE GET STUCK

1. Crises

2. Stress

3. Sin

4. Complacency

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 (NIV)

LIVING OUT YOUR PURPOSE NOW

1. Seek God as a First Resort

...Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.

1 Peter 4:7 (NIV)

2. Invest rather than withdraw Relationally

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 4:8 (NIV)

3. Be amazingly gracious, don’t be a whiner

Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

1 Peter 4:9 (NIV)

4. Serve somewhere Now

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

5. Save Nothing for the next life

If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ...

1 Peter 4:11 (NIV)

Final Goal:

...To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 4:11 (NIV)
