In a thought-provoking episode, Pastor Michael Cousineau kicks off by posing a question that's bound to resonate with many: "Why are you still alive?" But don't be mistaken; this isn't about doubt. Instead, it's about discovering purpose.
Michael underlines the critical role of understanding our 'why'. When we grasp our core reason for being, it shapes the 'how' of our daily actions and choices. Taking a page from Scripture, he turns the spotlight on the Apostle Paul. Through the lens of Colossians, we get a glimpse into Paul's profound 'why'. His life was dedicated to Christ, and that purpose influenced every step he took.
Wrapping things up, Pastor Michael offers listeners tangible guidelines. Inspired by Paul's convictions, he lays out steps to help listeners anchor their lives in a genuine 'why'. It's not just about big existential thoughts. It's about crafting a life brimming with intention.
So, if you've ever felt the weight of the question, "Why am I here?", this episode with Pastor Michael might just offer some clarity. Dive in and explore the transformative power of purpose.
The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.
Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
