Purpose

Resolute

Half of the adults in the US will make one or more New Year’s resolutions. A quarter of those people will not stick with them past the first week. Less than half of them will still be maintaining their new resolve by June. Why is change so hard?

Finding our way

Someone with no experience can be a drag on your team's efficiency, but they can also be a tremendous asset as well -- due to the very fact that they have no experience. So is inexperience good or bad? Be careful how quickly you answer that!

We All Were Created To Serve Others

By Dr. Rick Warren God formed every creature on this planet with a special area of expertise. How do we know this? In the Old Testament of the Bible, we are told, “Your hands shaped me and made me” (Job 10:8). Some animals run, some hop, some swim, some burrow, and some fly. They all have a particular role to play, based on how they were shaped by God. The same is true with humans. Each of us was uniquely designed, or "shaped" to do certain things.

We Are Here to Make a Contribution

By Rick Warren “It is God himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others” (Ephesians 2:10 LB). God calls you to a service far beyond anything you could ever imagine. You were put on earth to make a contribution.
