AsSIGNments

Pastor Bryan

August 10, 2025

Main Idea

The main idea centered on understanding that God has prepared specific assignments for each of us, similar to how Jesus was assigned works by the Father. Pastor Bryan emphasized that our lives are not just about being saved but actively living out the good works God has destined for us. He challenged us to reflect on our current assignments and how we can faithfully carry them out. Each assignment serves as a signpost pointing others to God, and our faithfulness in these roles qualifies us for future assignments. Embracing our divine purpose leads to a life that glorifies God.

Summary

In the sermon, Pastor Bryan encouraged us to recognize our divine assignments, referencing the healing of the disabled man at the Pool of Bethesda. He highlighted that just as Jesus operated on assignments given by the Father, we too are called to fulfill specific roles in God’s Kingdom. He reminded us that every act of kindness and service is part of a greater purpose and that we are not mistakes but masterpieces created for good works. We learned that being aware of our assignments brings fulfillment, and we must embrace our roles whether they feel significant or mundane.
