What do you want to be when you grow up?

• We all heard this question when growing up
• So often, we have no idea what we want to do or be...
• sometimes this question frustrates or stresses us out

What do we strive for when we don't feel like we have a goal?

• As Christians, we DO have something to strive for!

1 John 1:5-7 "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. ⁶ If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. ⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all^[a] sin."

• God is LIGHT 
• Walk in the Light!

How you act shows you what path you're walking on...

• Do our actions line up with where we want to go?

Who do you aspire to be?

• As Christians, we should all want to be like Jesus!

"I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars
In the Heavens
Oh, Lord be my light
And be my Salvation
'Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light" (In the Light, DC Talk)

Honestly reflect on your own life... make course corrections if needed...

Walk towards God - better fellowship with God and with eachother.

Refuse to settle to be Christians who just go with the flow!
