## Resource

This week on the Iowa City Church sermon podcast, we continue our Our Church series with a message called "Shaped for a Purpose." In this sermon, we explore how God has uniquely designed each of us—through our Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences—to live a life of meaningful service. When we discover our SHAPE, we begin to understand the specific calling God has placed on our lives. You'll hear how Jesus modeled purposeful service and why embracing the way God crafted you leads to deeper joy, clearer direction, and a more vibrant faith. The big idea of the message is simple but powerful: "Discover your SHAPE, boldly embrace your calling, and experience the joy of living on purpose with Jesus." If you're longing to understand how God can use your everyday life to make a real difference, this is a message you won't want to miss. Tune in and be encouraged to step into the purpose God created you for.
