Purpose in 66: Day 9 of 90

Day 9 of 90 - You are the Exception

Numbers 1:1-4; 17-54 (select excerpts)

 

If purpose is the puppet, then passion is the puppeteer. It is the thing that keeps you up at night. It is the thing you can do even if you didn't get paid to do it.

If purpose is the vehicle, then passion is the fuel; and the same way man shall not live by bread alone, people should not live by passion alone.

Why? Because if passion is your only guide, the same fuel that keeps your car moving can also burn down your house if it is not safely "contained."

 

Understanding Passion & Purpose - What is something you feel so passionate about that you would do it for free?

 

Applying This Perspective Daily - Who in your life has modeled a healthy balance between passion and purpose? What have you learned from them?

Day 8 of 90 - Authorized Assignments

Leviticus 9:1-24; Leviticus 10:1-2

 

Now that I'm super clear about purpose, I can boldly declare that if this dollar has someone else's name on it, I don't want it. If the job description doesn't fit me, I won't force it. I only want to be where God has assigned me, and I only want to do that which God has purposed me for.

 

Rejecting What Isn’t Meant for You

Can you think of a time when rejecting something that wasn’t yours made space for something better?

 

The Role of Faith in Walking in Purpose: Who in your life has modeled obedience to their assignment, even when it wasn’t easy? What did you learn from them?

Purpose in 66: Day 7 of 90

Day 7 of 90 - Lord, Breathe Your

Spirit on Our Skill

 

Exodus 35:1-35; 36:1-2

 

You've only got 24 hours in a day. And these days get tighter and tighter. When are you going to pull away and answer the hardest question of them all: if God took me today, what would I regret not doing all because I was too distracted by the optional stuff? 

 

Purpose is not about what you want to do.

Purpose is about what you determine to produce.

 

Evaluating Priorities & Distractions

• If God took you today, what is one thing you would regret not doing because you were too distracted?

 

Purpose vs. Passion

 

• Have you ever confused what you enjoy doing with what you are meant to produce? How did you realize the difference?

Purpose in 66: Day 6 of 90

Day 6 of 90 - People Over Profit

Exodus 18:1-24

 

I wonder if we rush into the purpose room without asking a pivotal question; that question being-who are my people?

Who are the people I am called to help?

Who are the people I am called to lead?

Who will help me accomplish this goal?

And who will I help accomplish their goal(s)?

Each question is important.

 

Mutual Support & Purposeful Collaboration - Who in your life has helped you accomplish a goal in a way that you couldn’t have done it alone?

 

What are some ways we can redefine success to align with a “People Over Profit” mindset?

Purpose in 66: Day 5 of 90

Day 5 of 90 - I didn’t Pick Them

Exodus 4:1-13

 

Learn to surround yourself with belief; hang around people who believe in you because your environment is important. If you live in a hospital, you can't be surprised when you get sick.

In the same way, if you stay around nonproductive, purposeless people, you can't be surprised when you don't get anything done.

 

Group Discussion Questions: What role does our environment play in shaping our beliefs and actions? Can you share a personal example of how your surroundings influenced your success or struggles?

 

Group Discussion Questions: Why do you think God sometimes allows us to feel inadequate rather than removing our weaknesses? How has God used a personal struggle to reveal His strength in your life?

Purpose in 66: Day 4 of 90

Day 4 of 90 - Purpose is about

Perspective

Genesis 41:46-57; Genesis 42:6; Genesis 50:20

 

The circle of purpose always leads to a road of communal fulfillment. You may not be the main character in the book purpose is writing today, but your contribution matters.

 

The Circle of Purpose & Community: Can you think of a time when you weren’t the “main character,” but your contribution was still meaningful?

 

Fulfillment Beyond Personal Achievement-

How do you define fulfillment in terms of purpose?

Purpose in 66: Day 3 of 90

Day 3 of 90- Waiting to Exhale be Remembered

Genesis 40:1-23; Genesis 41:1

 

The prison is where Joseph's purpose grows up. Pre-prison, Joseph is just a dreamer. In prison, Joseph becomes an interpreter. Post-prison, Joseph becomes governor. How do you put faith in a God who appears to have forgotten about you? Sometimes, God will allow people to falsely accuse you so that when you get to the prison, you can graduate from dreamer to interpreter. 

 

From Dreamer to Interpreter: Have you ever had to set aside your own dreams to help someone else? How did that experience impact you?

 

What’s the difference between having a dream and helping others understand theirs? Which one do you relate to more right now?

Purpose in 66: Day 2 of 90

Day 2 of 90 - Dig Another Well

Genesis 26:1-25

"Purpose is not tied to position, power, or prominence-purpose is about perspective. Purpose is an inner disposition, not an outward obligation. My friend, you are the gift. You are the favor that brightens the jobs where you work. You are the "it factor" that gives color and jazz to the rooms you inhabit."

 

Perspective on Purpose: Have you ever felt like your purpose was limited by your job title or role? How did you navigate that?

Overcoming Setbacks:

Have you ever experienced a situation where you had to “dig another well” after facing disappointment or failure? What did you learn from it?

Purpose in 66: Day 1 of 90
