Feeling like your life lacks direction or meaning?
Ephesians 1:11–12 reminds us that in Christ, we’ve been chosen—predestined according to the plan of the One who works out everything in line with His will.

You are not an accident. You’ve been written into a divine plan—and that plan includes a Kingdom purpose that brings glory to God and joy to your soul.

As a pastor for 25 years, I’ve watched believers come alive when they realize their story fits into God’s greater story. And this passage is all about that awakening.

As a pastor with 25 years of experience, I’ve seen how this truth brings peace to anxious hearts. You’re not drifting through time. Your life is anchored in a purpose that was established before the world began.
