INTRODUCTION:Millions of people loved Seinfeld when it aired. A college drama department did a study to find out why Seinfeld was so popular. They determined that the reason was because of its plotless programming. Seinfeld just meandered haplessly from one scene, one circumstance to the next without connection. The drama department concluded that Americans who lead plotless lives prefer plotless TV programs.

There’s a plotlessness that exists in many of our lives today. Often we move from one scene, one circumstance to the next without purpose. We wander from high school to college, from college to our first job. Then we’re just dying to get married. Then we’re just dying to have kids. Next we’re dying to get them out of the house. Then we’re dying to retire, only to find out that we’re just dying – never having known why we were alive in the first place. But what would life look like if we all lived with a purpose, with a destiny? How would we act and think differently if we saw God’s hand in the plots of our lives connecting one circumstance to the next in the tapestry of His will? Hope, purpose, and joy will permeate our lives if we begin to follow our destiny.SERMON POINTS:1. GOD HAS GIVEN YOU A DESTINY• Destiny is the customized life calling for which God has equipped and ordained us, in order to bring Him the greatest glory and the maximum expansion of His kingdom.• Every Christian must understand their destiny or primary purpose in life, which is to glorify God and make His name known.

GOD’S DESTINY FOR YOU WILL LEAD TO A FULFILLING LIFE• When people don’t live with the sense that God has given them a divine purpose in life, they be- come depressed.• Each member of the body of Christ has a unique role to play. But when some members don’t fulfill their God-given destiny, the body cannot function. (Romans 12:4-8)• When you know your destiny, you know your value in God’s eyes.• When you discover your destiny, you’ll begin to live life like you never have before.• Though persecution plagued the apostle Paul throughout his life, he frequently looked back to the destiny Jesus gave him on the Damascus Road and regained the confidence to keep going (Acts 9:3-6; 22:6-10)3. DETERMINE IF YOU’RE FULFILLING YOUR DESTINY

• We know that we are fulfilling our purpose by the impact we have on others.• King David fulfilled his God-given purpose and impacted others.• “For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep.” (Acts 13:36)CONT’D DL ON ✅TONYEVANS.COM/FREEBIES Watch ✔️SERMON SERIES intouchministries.org 30 Sermons
