Living out my Purpose - Pastor Paul Ogando

Main message: How you frame your identity in God determines how you respond to His calling; Paul models a simple, life-changing identity: I am a servant, I am chosen, and I am sent. Living out those three truths (servant → chosen → sent) activates your God-given purpose in everyday life.

Key points:

• Identity shapes destiny: “How I view my identity in God determines how I will respond to the calling of God.”
• Paul’s self-definition (Romans 1:1) is a model: slave/bond‑servant of Christ, chosen, and sent to preach the gospel.
• I am a servant: Christians are bond‑servants called to humility and practical service (Philippians 2, Jesus’ teaching on servant leadership).
• I am chosen: God has set a purpose for every life (illustrated by the adoption story and Jeremiah passage); don’t live by feelings of being overlooked.
• I am sent: Believers are commissioned for mission in ordinary places—family, work, neighborhood—and must use empowerment for purpose, not entitlement.
• Practical application: consult your Master in decisions, cultivate humility, look for daily opportunities to serve and obey the mission God gives you.
