In Part 2 of the sermon “Fulfilling Your Purpose,” Pastor Owen Mason emphasizes that God has a divinely orchestrated plan for each life. Drawing from Psalm 139:16, he reminds us that every day was written in God's book before we were even born. Scriptures like Jeremiah 1:5 and Ephesians 1:4 reinforce that our calling and identity were established before creation. Pastor Mason uses the story of Joseph (Genesis 37:5–11) to illustrate that even dreams met with opposition can be part of God's larger purpose.
The sermon outlines three main points. First, God has a defined plan for your life. From guiding His people through the wilderness (Psalm 136:16) to establishing every step (Psalm 37:23), God’s intention is clear and loving. Second, Jesus has already secured the victory. Referencing John 10:10, Pastor Mason emphasizes that while the enemy comes to destroy, Jesus came to give abundant life. Believers are called to flee from idolatry and remain faithful, as warned in 1 Corinthians 10:1–22. Third, Joseph’s coat represents divine favor and purpose. Even when misunderstood or opposed, signs of God's calling—like Joseph’s coat—should be treasured, not hidden.
The sermon concludes with a reminder from Romans 16:20 that God will crush Satan under our feet, encouraging believers to walk confidently in their God-given identity and purpose, knowing Christ has already made the way.
