Recap

Brett Favre/Aaron Rodgers
- advice to Rodgers is to play his game, don’t be Favre
Who was John the Baptist?
Who was he not?
- clearly understood this
1. Our life must be based on who Christ is

What was his purpose?
- whole life based around this fact
What was his ministry?
- same thing; his life was his ministry
2. Life is ministry
Where did his mission come from?
- his identity
-- talk about calling; but it’s much more who we’re called to be rather than what job

3. Most important thing is to take care of our relationship with Christ
how do we cultivate our identity in Christ?
- fellowship, study, church, prayer, etc
-- all take time
what else requires our time?
- make the decision; it’s about where my heart is

Questions:
What’s your purpose? Why get up in the morning?
Is that based off Christ? (where is my heart?)

Challenge:
Spend time in the Word. Schedule it in to your lives and make it an immovable task. Ask yourselves these questions during that time and let Scripture answer it for you.
- part of making your identity rooted in Christ
