#1) Eccl. 3:1 (read): Everything has a:
* Season
* Time
* Purpose
You are here for a purpose! #1 Question around the world?
“Why am I here?”
ANSWER: To make a difference! To have impact and influence.
(Tikkun Olam) = Repairing the world
*You are where heaven meets earth!! 2nd Cor. 4:7
#2) In the Big picture: Matt. 5:13, 14
Salt of the earth
Light of the world (John 1:4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men)
“Your light stays/holds back the darkness!” Look where we are with us resisting. Where would be without restraints?
In total darkness!!!
#3) Little closer: As Males and females
Question: Who’s more important in the raising of children?
Male influence: Job 40:7
Stand up = Get ready for battle
Like a man = A valiant warrior
(Fighting for our family, our marriage, our children, our country)
Our world is in desperate need of masculinity!
* Feminine influence: Matt. 23:37
“As a hen gathers her chicks”
You were meant to be a thermostat, not a thermometer!!
#4) You as an individual:
* John 17:4 “I have glorified thee on the earth, I have finished the work you gave me to do”
* Rev. 12:11
Blood of the lamb
Word of their testimony
Love not their life even unto death
* Neh. 3:1- 32
“Everyone did what they could do “no more, no less”
They were mayors, perfume makers, sons, daughters, and grandchildren
