What On Earth Am I Here For?



The most basic question everyone faces in life is Why am I here? What is my purpose? Self-help books suggest that people should look within, at their own desires and dreams, but Rick Warren says the starting place must be with God and his eternal purposes for each life. Real meaning and significance comes from understanding and fulfilling God's purposes for putting us on earth.

Using biblical stories and letting the Bible speak for itself, Warren clearly explains God's five purposes for each of us:

•We were planned for God's pleasure....so your first purpose is to offer real worship.

•We were formed for God's family...so your second purpose is to enjoy real fellowship.

•We were created to become like Christ...so your third purpose is to learn real discipleship.

•We were shaped for serving God...so your fourth purpose is to practice real ministry.

•We were made for a mission...so your fifth purpose is to live out real evangelism.

Won't you join us as we take a 42 week journey and discover what on earth we are here for and learn about and live out God's five purposes for each of us! We'll use this forum for discussion, encouragement and accountability.

Lesson handouts and audio recordings will be posted here for your convenience beginning Tuesday, January 15, 2013. Would you like to be added to our online study group? You'll receive the lesson links each week via your email.... Contact me today!
