Planned for God’s Pleasure

The Purpose Driven Life Part 2
Sermon Notes by Richard W. Beatty

• My 1st purpose in life is to worship God.

1. Worship is my response to His love and what I give back to God who has everything. When I give anything to God, I am worshiping Him and this brings Him great pleasure as it also benefits me.
Matt. 22:27-38
Mk. 12:30
Rev. 4:11b

• God wants me to love Him passionately with my mind, heart, soul, and strength.

2. Worship is focusing all of my attention (my mind) on God.
Ps. 105:4; 139:1-3
Is. 26:3
Ro. 8:7; 12:2a
Matt. 6:6

• When you get caught up in the “rat race” and you win… all you are is “King Rat”.

3. Worship is expressing my affection (my heart and soul) to God.
Ex. 34:14b
Hos. 6:6
Ro. 6:13
1 Jo. 4:19

4. Worship is using my abilities (my strength) for God.
