If our church is to remain faithful to our mission we must first be communicating with the Master!</div> <bR> <div> <B>CONCENTRATED FOCUS</B></div> <div> During 40 Days of Purpose, the entire church-every person, every worship service-focuses on the same thing together: God's purposes for our lives. It is amazing what happens when your church concentrates on the same truth at the same time.</div> <bR> <div> <B>MULTIPLE REINFORCEMENTS</B></div> <div> This journey is designed around three vital habits that everyone needs to grow spiritually: the habit of weekly worship attendance, a daily quiet time, and a weekly Scripture memory verse. These will keep you growing long after 40 Days of Purpose is finished.</div> <bR> <div> <B>BEHAVIOURAL TEACHING</B></div> <div> Each of the messages are designed to cause people to become "doers of the Word, and not hearers only." (James 1:22) Each sermon is connected to the material you are already reading about and special events will take place to help you put into practice what you are studying, like the Ministry &  Missions Fair.</div> <bR> <div> <B>EXPONENTIAL THINKING</B></div> <div> This kind of thinking stretches your faith. It is thinking so big that you are forced to completely depend on God because you know you cannot reach your goal on your own power. This "faith factor" is what takes the 40 Days of Purpose out of the realm of "What we've always done" or "What we think we could do" and instead expects God to do something that's never been done before in our church.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP ROWSPAN=5 WIDTH="189"><div> <IMG SRC="280c8c80.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>In order for the 40 Day Campaign to achieve its best results in our church, we enocouraged every- one to purchase the book called “The Purpose Driven Life.” </B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>This #1 best-seller uses over  1,300 Scriptures and is meant to be a companion to one's daily Bible reading and is  essential for getting our whole church to focus on God's purposes for their lives every day for 40 days. </B></I></div> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="15679580.jpg" border=0 width="121" height="88" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="181"><div> <B><U>PURPOSE #1</U></B></div> <div> <B>You were Planned for God's Pleasure</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="15779580.jpg" border=0 width="121" height="88" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="181"><div> <B><U>PURPOSE #2</U></B></div> <div> <B>You Were Formed for God's Family</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="15879580.jpg" border=0 width="121" height="88" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="181"><div> <B><U>PURPOSE #3</U></B></div> <div> <B>You Were Created to Become Like Christ</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="15979580.jpg" border=0 width="121" height="88" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="181"><div> <B><U>PURPOSE #4</U></B></div> <div> <B>You Were Shaped for Serving God</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="15a79580.jpg" border=0 width="121" height="88" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="181"><div> <B><U>PURPOSE #5</U></B></div> <div> <B>You Were Made for a Mission</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP ROWSPAN=5 COLSPAN=3 WIDTH="507"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="507" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> </tR> <tR> </tR> <tR> </tR> <tR> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" height=32 BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <div> <A HREF="Calendar.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Calendar of Events"><U><B>BACK</B></U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
