The main text for today is 1 Kings 3:1-15 and the request of King Solomon. Above all, he petitioned God for wisdom to lead and to judge God’s great people. Through his genuine request for the wisdom of God he captured the heart of God. What if we were given one wish? What would it be? Pastor Redmond uses Solomon’s request as an example for us when he asks, what do you want most out of life? What does God want most for us? Do we genuinely have a heart for God? Solomon’s life shows that God will give you beyond your most when your heart is in the right place.

Pastor Redmond officially starts the Doing Life on Purpose series today with this message that explores 3 major questions. 1. Why are we alive? 2. Does my life really matter? 3. What is my purpose? Pastor Redmond’s primary text today comes from the familiar story of the prodigal son which begins at Luke 15:11. In this example, we see one of the prodigal son’s biggest mistakes, as well as our own – that is the wasting of our lives. Through this example we also see that it is the Father that gives us value, attributes worth to us - requesting the fatted calf and the best robe for us. Finally we understand, once we have come to ourselves (since we were not ourselves before this) that the Father is oh so much greater than we are and we realize that His purpose for us is to worship Him in all that we do. Examine your life in light of what you see in the life of the prodigal son and then ask yourself the question…What Are You Living For?
