This week’s session focuses on BEING GRATEFUL. Gratitude is the sincere acknowledgment of kindness or blessings received. Human gratitude often depends on specific actions and is expressed conditionally, while God’s way calls for continual thanks, rooted in faith and trust, regardless of circumstances, as an act of worship and acknowledgment of His sovereignty.

Introduction: Today’s point is: God’s goodness and love lead us to grateful worship. Through Psalm 25, we will see how God’s character inspires our trust and heartfelt worship in response to His compassion, care, and faithfulness.

I have 3 points to make this morning:

1. God Is Full of Compassion // Psalm 25:4-7 God’s mercy and love lead Him to guide, teach, and forgive us, calling us to worship Him with gratitude.
2. God Has Overflowing Care // Psalm 25:8-11 God lovingly instructs and leads those who humbly seek Him, inspiring grateful worship for His unfailing guidance.
3. God Faithfully Keeps His Covenant // Psalm 25:12-15 God honors His promises, blessing and protecting those who fear Him, leading us to worship Him in trust and thankfulness.

While I unpack today’s scripture I ask that you consider this question: HOW DOES GOD INSPIRE ME TO GRATEFULLY WORSHIP HIM?

This week’s session focuses on LIVING OUT your purpose by RESTORING OTHERS. HOW DO WE EXPRESS OUR PURPOSE IN CHRIST BY SERVING OTHERS? We live in a society that is all about “Me, Me, Me. I’m gone get mine. I don’t have to do it if I don’t want to. I got mine, so you get yours. We don’t put family first - only 30% of young adults want children, We don’t care about our neighbors, community service is down to 27%. That’s their busy. I got problems of my own. I, I, I. Does any of this sound familiar to you?

The point of today’s lesson is: WE FULFILL OUR PURPOSE AS WE SERVE OTHERS IN LOVE.

I have 3 points to make this morning: Be aware of Warring Purposes Inside // Galatians 5:16-18

1. Our purpose leads us to share the Load
2. When we love, we sow the spirit
3. It won’t be easy so stay the course.

While I unpack today’s scripture I ask that you consider this question: HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOUR PURPOSE IN CHRIST BY SERVING OTHERS?

This week’s session focuses on how sin keeps us from living out our God ordained purpose. Reflect on an instance that you allowed sin to draw you away from God’s purpose for your life. What did you do, say, or think in response to your experiences? How do you think these experiences impacted your life?

The point of today’s lesson is that GOD CREATED US WITH PURPOSE, BUT OUR SIN KEEPS US FROM LIVING OUT THAT PURPOSE. I have 3 points to make this morning:

1. Created For the Purpose of His Glory
2. Corrupted by Our Purposes
3. Deliverance from Zion
