Life Development 401 - Discovering My Life Mission
This class is the fourth of our basic purpose-driven classes.

In Class 101 - You committed to being a Member of God’s family.
In Class 201 - You committed to the habits for Spiritual Maturity.
In Class 301 – You committed to having a Ministry in our church.
In Class 401 – You will begin to discover your Mission in the world.

THE BASIS FOR THIS CLASS:

I WAS CREATED TO FULFILL GOD’S PURPOSE.
"The Lord has made everything for his own purpose..." Pr. 16:4 (LB)

GOD PLANNED MY LIFE MISSION BEFORE I WAS BORN.
"God is our Maker, and in our union with Christ, he has created us for a life
of good works, which he has already prepared for us to do." Eph. 2:10 (GN)

My Life Mission has both universal elements (what God calls every Christian
to do) and unique elements (what God custom –designed me to do).

In Class 401, we’ll focus on the universal part of your Life Mission.
In Class 301, we focused on the unique parts of your Life Mission.

FULFILLING MY MISSION BRINGS GLORY TO GOD.
JESUS: "I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you
gave me to do." John 17:4 (NIV)

MY PRIMARY TASK IN LIFE IS TO FULFILL MY MISSION.
“The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the
Lord Jesus gave me--to tell people the Good News about God's grace.”
Acts 20:24 (NCV)

THE GOAL OF THIS CLASS:

That I commit the rest of my life to being a messenger of God's Good News
to other people, and using my time, talents, and treasure for his Kingdom,
regardless of where it leads or what it costs.

“We make it our goal to please him…” 2 Cor. 5:9 (NIV)

"...our goal is to measure up to God's plan for us..." 2 Cor 10:13 (LB)
