TOPIC: FINDING THE TRUE PURPOSE OF LIVING    

TEXT: "We are been transformed into Christ's image, from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of God"(2Cor.3:18).

Rick Warren wrote a book titled the purpose driven life. It’s phenomenal appeal reminds us that believers and unbelievers alike have a deep longing for a clear sense of purpose. We all want to know that our lives are involved in something worthwhile.

NEW SEASON NEW THINGS

TOPIC:  NEW SEASON, NEW THINGS

TEXT: "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old" (Isaiah 43:18).

Accepting change can be tough. It’s why some people remain perpetually where they are and hardly have any new testimony to share, because they refuse to open their heart to anything fresh.

JUSTIN BIEBER REDEDICATE HIS LIFE TO CHRIST

It’s been nine days since Justin Bieber announced that he’d be canceling his “Purpose World Tour” to spend some more time, as he told TMZ, “resting, getting some relaxation,” and riding “some bikes.” A day later, on June 25, TMZ reported that the real reason behind the cancellation was that the 23-year-old singer had “rededicated his life to Christ.” Bieber, the same man who was arrested for driving under the influence, drag racing, and resisting arrest at 19; and who once climbed atop ancient Mayan ruins in Mexico and mooned the site’s security staff, has had an interesting relationship with religion over the course of his career. While he’s always said he was a man of god, his behavior has often suggested otherwise. Despite these personal setbacks, one man has always stayed by his side to help keep him on the straight and narrow-ish: Pastor Carl Lentz.

Over these past nine days, Bieber and Lentz have been spending a significant amount of time together—be it in person while eating lunch at Mastro’s or driving around Los Angeles together, or via their frequent chats over FaceTime, the pair is reported to be “nearly inseparable.” Lentz has been a go-to pastor for the young, beautiful, and famous for years as one of the leaders of Hillsong Church, hanging out (and praising the Lord) with people like Bieber, Selena Gomez, Kevin Durant, Kendall Jenner, and more. His influence has become infectious, and has moved well beyond those who know him as their Pastor Carl. He was profiled in GQ back in 2015, which noted his belief that things like abortion and homosexuality are sins, a not-so-subtle reminder even the hippest of pastors are still, well, pastors. He’s also had sit-down interviews with Oprah Winfrey and been on the show and [ show and The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore (R.I.P.).

TOPIC:  OBTAINING THE DESIRED RESULTS

TEXT: "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win"  (1 Corinthians 9:24 NASB).

No one gets results at anything with half-hearted effort. You can’t get a good job without effort. You can’t cook a meal, enjoy a nice home, or raise kids without effort.

TEXT:   "Create in me a clean heart, o God' (Psalm 51:10NLT)

Jesus taught that only the pure in heart shall see God. (Matthew 5:8). Now the problem is not God's inability to be seen, it’s our inability to recognize Him. To the blind all things are invisible.
