Lose Yourself [Here I Am pt.1]

Gravetop Church

Main Idea: Realizing how fulfilling your life can be when it is no longer just about you.

One of the biggest questions we have as Christians is “what’s my purpose in life?” And so often we try to find fulfillment to that question by filling its void with selfish ideas and desires. We perceive that we are supposed to be “blessed” or made prominent among our peers. We end up chasing the world's concept of fulfillment through chasing vanity, fame and fortune. But Christ’s guidance to us is actually that of humility and servanthood.

Today we are going to talk about what it is to find your purpose as a christian. We’re going to unpack the concept of humility and how incredibly necessary it is for success. We’re going to look at Jesus’ command to serve others and learn what that means practically. And at the end of the message, I’m going to show you how your purpose is incredibly unique and fulfilled in the way you serve others.

The reason that this topic is so important is because many christians wander through their faith and life aimlessly and unfulfilled. Their lives are dull and boring (as well as their faith). It doesn’t take long for them to start looking back to the world of sin for temporary fulfillment. We must find meaning and purpose in our faith and life in order to access the passionate and abundant life Jesus promised us.

1. Humbly Blessed

[EVERYTHING GOOD IN LIFE COMES THROUGH HUMILITY]

(Matthew 10:37-39)

The moment that you choose to go all in for Jesus, you will realize that it is the best decision that you can possibly make. To make Him your number one priority, truly positions you to see life in a completely different way. You will truly find what you’re really looking for.

2. Find Your Purpose

[WE ARE ALL CALLED TO SERVE OTHERS]

(John 13:12-17)

We are ALL called to serve others. There is not one person who is called to be isolated and disconnected from their community. Rather, we are all called to be connected through the service of one another. In fact, I believe that we all can find our unique purposes in Christ when we obey Jesus’ command and open ourselves to servanthood.

3. Uniquely Fulfilled

[FULFILLMENT IS FOUND IN THE UNIQUENESS OF HOW YOU SERVE OTHERS]

(Matthew 10:40-42)

The more that you serve, the more that you will realize what you enjoy doing and how to specifically serve others in a way that no one else does. There are endless possibilities of ways and methods in which you can serve and minister to others. All you have to do is make yourself available.
