DENNIS

Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor of Central United

Methodist Church. Have you ever struggled with finding your created

purpose?  When was the last time you asked yourself, “What is God’s

purpose for my life?” If you find yourself at this point, you are not alone.

As a young boy, Jesus revealed His purpose to His earthly parents. He told

them that he must be in His Father’s house for worship and to learn His

ways, that is both the physical and spiritual teachings. What about us?

Throughout the New Testament, we are told to follow Jesus. Therefore, we

follow the example of His life. The major one is “take up your cross and

follow me.” We are told to worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. We are

told that those who believe are now the temple of the Holy Spirit and that

the Kingdom of God is inside of you.

When we take what Jesus told his earthly parents and compare them to the

demands and promises of God, we see that our purpose is to do exactly what

our Lord demonstrates.

If you feel that you have lost sight of worshiping God and learning of His

ways, then come to Central and revive your purpose in Christ Jesus.
