Welcome to 40 Days of Purpose!

We will post and discuss throughout the week as we seek our purpose through 40 days of devotion and Bible Study. Please post your thoughts and prayer requests as we journey together. Our prayer is that God opens our hearts and minds to direct us.

Day 1 It All Starts with God

What a great kick off today! We look forward to taking this journey with each one of you!

Here's a question: What do you think are implications of the first sentence of this book, "It's not about you"?

A few reminders:

  • Sign the Covenant right before the first chapter in the book
  • Read one chapter per day - put an appointment on your calendar to remind you
  • Try to commit the Ephesians 2: 10 to memory
  • You can get Pastor's Daily Devotional and a link to the sermon podcasts on the church website at: http://www.palmvalleylutheranchurch.org
  • There is a daily short paragraph in the separate booklet "A Lutheran Guide to the Purpose Driven Life" with insights from Pastor Koppel
Have a great day!
In Him,
Cheree

    My two favorite quotes from today's chapter...
    1. Being successful and fulfilling your life's purpose are not at all the same issue!
    2. You may choose your career, your spouse, your hobbies... but you don't get to choose your purpose.

    This is a very humbling statement and one I need to hear often. Trying to train myself to remember this daily.
