ON PURPOSE SERMON SERIES www.bumc.net/OnPurpose The greatest challenge we face in our culture is the question of purpose. Do I have a purpose? How do I discover my purpose? Once our lives have been repurposed through God’s grace, we’re able to understand our God-given purpose and share that grace with others. In this 6-week series, we’re being challenged and encouraged by what it looks like to live a life of purpose On Purpose.
