      Finding Purpose in Unexpected Places

      Andy Wood | July 30, 2023

      This past weekend we looked at three characters from the movie Toy Story 4 and how we can relate to different parts of their story. Join Pastor Andy as he talks about our journey to discovering who we are in God, and the challenges we might face along the way.

      Message Action Plan

      Message Action Plan

      My assignment may change, but God's eternal purposes for my life never cease.

      ACTION PLAN: If you're stuck or having regrets about choices you've made, consider Celebrate Recovery. It will give you tools to get beyond your hurts, hang-ups and habits that have held you back. Celebrate Recovery meets all over the world. Learn more at CelebrateRecovery.com.

      Even when I feel worthless, God sees me as priceless.

      ACTION PLAN: Memorize Psalm 139:16-18 to remember that God created you and his thoughts about you are more numerous than the sands that cover beaches throughout the world, and memorize Psalm 103:13 to remember that, like a Father, the Lord is kind to his children. Write these verses on small cards and tape them in multiple locations throughout your home to remind you daily that you are constantly on the mind of your creator who loves you.

      God is redirecting my disappointment for his greater purposes for my life.

      ACTION PLAN: Remind yourself of the first purpose that God has for your life - fellowship. If you are not in a small group, go to Saddleback.com/smallgroups to find a small group to begin living in community. The Lord will use these people to encourage and aid you to see the possibilities before you.
