Titus
Titus 3:12–15 (ESV) — 12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing. 14 And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful. 15 All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
Objective: It is my objective to show the vital reason for the church. As a church, we must have relationships with one another. These will keep us following Jesus and His truths and live them. So I ask, what are you doing with your life?

How many people do you have a relationship with?

He is not the one who is to blame for the shooting
Satan and all his forces should be held accountable

When we fail to obey Him, He allows us to be disciplined

7. What Are You Doing With Your Life?
What is your plan for the day?
Beginning to end, what do you hope for?
What difference do you want your life to make?
You may say, “I don’t even think like that.”
I just get up and do what I need to do
I don’t plan. I just live
You are cutting yourself off from God’s grace
Don’t just drift aimlessly-Circumstances do not have to control you.
What is your purpose for today?
Children, teens, adults, single, married, divorced, widowed, moms, dads, every trade.
Aimlessness is akin to lifelessness.
Dead leaves in the back yard move
They are full of motion and empty of life

Find who you are in God’s image and live with purpose
Jesus-My food is to do the will of Him who sent me.
Aiming day by day to do what you were meant to do is like eating. Gives life and energy.
