Big Idea

Some days we feel like life has no purpose. We get up, make breakfast for the kids, go to work, come home, watch some TV, and fall asleep on the couch. We wonder if what we do matters. Is there any real meaning and purpose in our day-to-day lives?

In this series, we will see that God has called us to our specific roles in life to do His work. He is the one who has called us to be mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, employers, employees, and citizens. He wants us to use our specific callings to further His rule in our world as we do the work He has given us.
