Pathway to Purpose: Make a Difference

What has God placed in your hand—and how can He use it to make a difference in someone else’s life? In this final message of our four-part Pathway to Purpose series, Pastor Jenny Richardson challenges us to move from simply knowing God to making Him known through a life of service. Using the story of Moses and the staff God had already placed in his hand, Jenny reminds us that we don’t have to do something spectacular to be used by God. He can take our gifts, abilities, resources, experiences, and even the ordinary things already in our hands and use them to impact the lives of others. Jesus Himself showed us the way: “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” — Mark 10:45 Through Scripture, personal stories, the song “Thank You” by Ray Boltz, and a powerful look back at one of NewPath’s mission trips to India, this message shows how acts of service—large and small—can have an impact we may never fully see this side of eternity. Whether God calls us across the world or across the street, following Jesus means putting our love into action. In this message: Why serving is an essential part of following Jesus How God can use what He has already placed in your hands Why every believer has gifts that can strengthen the body of Christ Serving your family, your church, your community, and those in need What it means to serve with humility, love, excellence, and joy Why service isn’t just an event—it’s a lifestyle How ordinary acts of obedience can make an eternal difference You were created with purpose. You have something to offer. The question is: What has God placed in your hand, and are you willing to use it for Him? 📖 Scriptures referenced: Exodus 3–4 • Mark 10:45 • 1 John 3:18 • Ephesians 2:10 • 1 Peter 4:10 • Acts 1:8 • Galatians 6:10 • Mark 12:31 • Luke 10:36–37 • Proverbs 3:27 • Joshua 24:15 • Luke 9:23 • Philippians 2:3 • Galatians 5:13 • Colossians 3:23 • Psalm 100:2 This message concludes our Pathway to Purpose series at NewPath Church: Know God → Get Connected → Discover Your Purpose → Make a Difference If this message encouraged or challenged you, share it with someone who may need the reminder that God can use what He has already placed in their hands. #makeadifference #servingothers #christianservice #purposedriven #followjesus #NewPathChurch #faithinaction #christiansermon
