What does it really mean to excel as a follower of Christ? In the final message of the Windows series, we explore how God calls every believer to live with purpose, discipline, and excellence—not for personal success, but for His glory.

Drawing from 2 Peter 1 and other key Scriptures, this sermon challenges us to examine our priorities, measure our spiritual growth, and align our lives around what truly matters. You’ll hear why understanding your God-given function is essential, how excellence requires focus and trust, and why living well, loving well, and serving well are not optional for the Christian life.

This message encourages believers to slow down, trust God more deeply, and stop spreading themselves too thin so they can fully live out the purpose God created them for.

The church was never meant to be a crowd of spectators; it was designed to be a team. In this message, we explore why every believer has a role to play in God’s church and how Scripture calls us to serve, love, and grow together.

Drawing from 1 Peter 4, this sermon challenges listeners to move from passive attendance to active participation. You’ll hear why spiritual gifts matter, how God uses teams to strengthen the church, and what it means to live with purpose in a time when faith truly counts. Just as every player matters on a team, every follower of Christ is essential to God’s mission.

Whether you’re new to church or have been walking with Christ for years, this message will encourage you to find your place, use your gifts, and serve with excellence.
