Do you ever wonder, 'What has God made me for?'
The Bible says that we are ALL 'fearfully and wonderfully made.' (Psalm 139:14)
That you were 'created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared long ago' for you to do. (Ephesians 2:10)
But do you ever long to find that eternal purpose? I can't tell you exactly what that is, but I can help equip you to discover your mission in life.
The next two Sunday evenings - March 21 & March 28 from 6-8pm - we will offer Discovering Your Divine Design. The class is all about discovering more about how God has made you and what that means in finding your divine purpose.
You can check out more about the class by clicking here. You can sign up by calling the office (993-4463) or emailing here.

Long Snappers
Your role matters. There are NONE of us whose contribution isn't significant to the team!
There was a great article in yesterdays Caller Times about a young man who played football at Ray several years ago. (You can check out the entire article here). Clint Gresham was a lineman who wanted to play big time college football but at 6-foot-3, 225-pounds didn't have the physical attributes. Until that is his Dad found a video-tape on long-snapping.
For non-footballers the 'long-snapper' is the guy who snaps ('hikes') the ball to the punter on punts. Gresham found his role. Now four-years later he's the long snapper for nationally ranked TCU, hasn't had a bad snap for 2 years, and has a full college scholarship for snapping! For snapping!
That's cool! Gresham said nobody recognizes him in a crowd as a TCU football player, but the shouldn't he said: “You don’t want anyone to know your name. If they do, it’s probably because you did something wrong.”
I know that some of you are probably 'long-snappers' but don't even know it! You're still standing on the sidelines when God has an incredible way for you to contribute! Culture sometimes tells us that the quarterback is the only important guy. Huh? Take away the other 10 and let's watch the quarterback!
My heart is that EVERYONE at Oso Creek find their Kingdom purpose! That includes you. Struggling with this, call me or Audie or Steve - or talk to your Life Group leader. There's a role for you -- and maybe even a scholarship :)

Super Cool!
We have over 60 folks coming to Financial Peace University tonight to continue learning how to be great stewards of their resources! (And 8 of those folks are from Yorktown Baptist . . . I praise God for their willingness to join together to learn how to go deeper in this Jesus life!)
And then we have 24 Creekers signed up for Discovering Your Divine Design on Saturday (w/only 2 spots open! Click here to email that you want a spot)!
This is so on my heart right now. Opening up these are the kinds of very practical opportunities to help us navigate into the deeper waters of what it means to follow Jesus.

Your ARE Divinely Designed!
The feedback that I've gotten from Sunday's message has been awesome!
I know that many of us struggle in discovering what God has made us to do. And that struggle can keep us from really living!
And as I said on Sunday we want to do all we can to help in this journey of seeking God's vision for your life.
Next Saturday - February 23rd at 9am - we'll be offering the Discovering Your Divine Design Class that I talked about on Sunday. This isn't the end all - but it is a great discovery point on the journey.
This is one of my favorite classes that I do as we focus on the talents and personality that God gave you at birth . . . the spiritual gifts that He gave you at your spiritual birth . . . as well as the passion(s) that burns in your soul.
So if you are seeking or stuck anywhere on the journey of what you were made to do, then get to this class! Email Linda by clicking here if you want to sign up.
And remember: Vision without action is just hallucination!
