Learn how 40
Days can transform your congregation through God's purposes for our lives
and communities! Since 2002, over 20,000 churches of all denominations and
sizes have experienced the transforming power of individuals living out
God's purposes. In 2004, the seeds planted in Purpose are being taken to a
new level of growth as a special group of 800 pilot partners joined
Saddleback for 40 Days of Community.

Yes!, You may be wondering, "Why 40 days? What's so special about
that time frame?" The Bible is clear that God considers 40 days to
be a spiritually significant time period. Whenever God wanted to
prepare someone for His purposes, He took 40 days:
-
•
Noah's life was transformed by 40 days of rain.
-
•
Moses was transformed by 40 days on Mount Sinai.
-
•
The spies were transformed by 40 days in the Promised Land.
-
•David was transformed by Goliath's 40 day
challenge.
-
• Elijah was transformed when God gave him
40 days of strength from a single meal.
-
•
The entire city of Nineveh was transformed when God gave them 40 days
to change.
-
•
Jesus was empowered by 40 days in the wilderness.
• The disciples
were transformed by 40 days with Jesus after His resurrection.
It's not just the
duration, however, but the direction of 40 Days of Purpose that
changes lives. This emphasis is designed to help your members answer the
most basic question of life: What on earth am I here for? During
40 Days of Purpose, your members will rediscover God's five eternal
purposes for our lives:
-
WORSHIP
-
We were planned for God's pleasure!
-
-
FELLOWSHIP
-
We were formed for God's family!
-
-
DISCIPLESHIP
-
We were created to become like Christ!
-
-

-
-
EVANGELISM

Please join
us as we engage in 40 Days of Purpose. We are praying that this time of
sharing at our church and in our community will give our members and friends
a deeper commitment of our prayer life together, fellowship, worship
experience, and closer walk with God, etc. We are exploring new ways to do
our part in Kingdom building that Men, Women, Boys and Girls would come to
know Christ as their personal Savior, and get involved in his Church to
glorify God as we all grow together reaching our fullest potential. |
