Beyond The Reef
At The Movies: Home Edition – Part 4
July 11-12, 2020
Cody Kiwaczyk, Dr. Jeffrey Allen Love, Sheri Marsden
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 (p.896)
- God Created Me For A Purpose.
When living out our purpose, remember:
- It begins with trust.
“For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19 (p.550)
- It requires action.
“So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.” James 2:17 (p.931)
- We must do it together.
“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.” Hebrews 10:24 (p.926)
Next Step: This week I will live out my purpose daily through taking action with the 7 Day At Home Adventure Guide.
