How To Become The You That You Were Meant To Be - Part 1

How To Become The You That You Were Meant To Be – Part 1

Becoming the person God created you to be is a journey of self-discovery, growth, and intentional living. In Part 1 of this series, we focus on understanding your identity and purpose in Christ.

1. Know Your Identity in Christ
2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” Your past mistakes or failures do not define you. In Christ, you are a new creation with infinite potential to live out God’s plan for your life.

2. Recognize Your Unique Gifts
God has equipped each of us with special talents, abilities, and passions. Romans 12:6 says, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.” Identifying and using your gifts intentionally is the first step toward becoming the person you were meant to be.

3. Align Your Life with God’s Word
Your decisions, actions, and mindset should reflect God’s truth. Studying His Word gives clarity about your purpose and helps you live intentionally toward fulfilling it.

Takeaway:

• Your identity is found in Christ, not in the past or in others’ opinions.

• Recognize and develop your God-given gifts.

• Let God’s Word guide your choices and growth.

Closing Prayer:
Lord, help me to understand who I am in You and to grow into the person You created me to be. Teach me to recognize my gifts, live intentionally, and follow Your guidance every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Encouraging Word

Pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.

~ 1 Timothy 2:1, NLT

Summer Blast- Week Four

Summer Blast – Week Four Notes

Core Focus Areas

We accomplish life transformation through four key areas:

1. Salvation – Leading people to the first step of life change: a relationship with Jesus.

2. Discipleship – Teaching people the life-changing truths of God’s Word.

3. Worship – Equipping and empowering people through encounters with God.

4. Service – Helping people grow beyond themselves and serve others.

Key Vision:
We are building a church that un-churched people love to attend.

When you focus on creating a church that un-churched people love, you naturally stop attracting only churched people.

Following Jesus

Scripture: Luke 14:25 (NLT)

“A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them…”

• Multitudes followed Jesus because He was good.

• God is truly good, even though religion can be cruel at times.

• Despite shortcomings of organized religion, Jesus consistently attended synagogues and the temple.

Scripture: Luke 13:10-17 (NLT) – Healing the Crippled Woman on the Sabbath

• Jesus healed a woman crippled for 18 years, even on the Sabbath.

• Religious leaders were angry, but Jesus exposed their hypocrisy.

• Key Lesson: The thing that made Jesus most angry was when religious leaders misrepresented God.

• Jesus draws people with His goodness, but ultimately requires total commitment.

---

The Cost of Discipleship

Scripture: Luke 14:25-28 (CEVDCUS06)

“You cannot be my disciple unless you love me more than your family… your own life… carry your own cross and follow me…”

• Unlike the devil, Jesus always tells you upfront the cost of following Him.

• True discipleship requires total commitment, planning, and willingness to sacrifice.

Scripture: Acts 9:10-16 (NLT) – Ananias and Saul

• God called Ananias to reach out to Saul, even though Saul had persecuted believers.

• Saul was God’s chosen instrument, but God revealed how much he would suffer for His name.

---

Life Lessons on Commitment

• Our culture promotes the lie that you can have everything.

• Truth: You cannot have something without giving up something else.

• The reward of commitment far outweighs the sacrifices.

• Everything we do for Christ demands total commitment.

• There is no freedom like the freedom that comes through commitment.

• Joy is greatest when commitment is greatest.

Challenge:

Isn’t it time for you to make a total commitment to the Kingdom of God?
