WHO BEFORE DO
1 PETER 1:13-16 REV. ELIZABETH GILBERT A desire to live a purposeful, meaningful life is one of the most universal of human aspirations. And decisions meet us at every turn of that desire… Do I go to this college or that? Do I take this job or that? What kind of mate should I seek? Should I move to the midwest or the east coast? Is it time to retire? Is it time for a career change? Followers of Jesus additionally seek to live a life pleasing to God and fulfill God’s hopes for their jobs and families. “What does God want of me?” is a question that believers often ask. Beyond living a meaningful life, we want to live according to God’s will and way. But what is that? While it’s impossible to know the mind of God, there are things we can do to align ourselves with God’s heart and hopes. In seeking to build a God-honoring life we can learn how to make wise decisions, seek godly direction, and practice faithful discernment. Such a life begins with who we are, not what we do. Who are you with, for and in Jesus?
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE 13 Therefore prepare your minds for action;[a] discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when he is revealed. 14 Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance. 15 Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; 16 for it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

A desire to live a purposeful, meaningful life is one of the most universal of human aspirations. And decisions meet us at every turn of that desire… Do I go to this college or that? Do I take this job or that? What kind of mate should I seek? Should I move to the midwest or the east coast? Is it time to retire? Is time for a career change? At some point, we might even be responsible for these kind of life-decisions for others… What activities should I encourage my children toward, what will bring them the most benefit? Which school district has the best opportunities for my children? Is it still safe for my mom and dad to drive? How will I tell my parents it’s time to consider moving from their home to some place with more care for them? As followers of Jesus we additionally seek to live a life pleasing to God and fulfill God’s hopes for us. “What does God want of me?” is a question that believers often ask. Beyond living a meaningful life, we want to live according to God’s will and way. But what is that? While it’s impossible to know the mind of God, there are things we can do to align ourselves with God’s heart and hopes. In seeking to build a God-honoring life we can learn how to make wise decisions, seek godly direction, and practice faithful discernment. In June in NewDay Praise we will examine the 3 ‘D’s of a life Designed by God: Decisions, Direction, and Discernment. Invite a friend, grab a cup of coffee, and join us in the Worship Annex at PUMC for this summer series: 3D:Designed by God.

After the show, we will have time to browse thru the zoo before heading to find a place to eat. If you have a suggestion for where we will eat afterwards, please make it known at the time you sign up. Sign up today. Cost will be $15 to be paid at the Encore Desk in the main lobby when you sign up to attend. If you have questions, please contact Sue Hylton at 317.839.2946 or shylton@indy.rr.com.
