God's Design For You (1 of 7)
Series: LIVING BY DIVINE DESIGN

Ephesians 2:10
We want to begin today a brand new series of messages called "Living by Divine Design". The title of this message this morning is "God's Design for You". We are going to talk about six principles that God has given in His Word about how you can discover God's purpose for your life and live by divine design.

And when you say you are driven by something it means you are controlled by something, you are motivated by something. In other words to drive means to guide or control or direct. If you drive a car it means you control and direct a car. If you drive a golf ball down the fairway it means hopefully you direct it, you control it down the fairway where you want it to go. And everyone in life is driven by a purpose. They are driven by something.
Some people are driven by fear, they do what they do out of fear. Some are driven by greed, some are driven by ambition, and some are driven by their parents. They constantly want to please their parents even into adulthood they continue to live their life to please their parents. There are some who are driven by their spouse, their husband or wife. And they try to do everything they do in order ...
