Crushing Chaos | Part 4: The Principle of Purpose

About this episode

Pastor Tom concludes the series on moving from survival to purpose, exploring creation and sharing testimonies of faith and legacy.

How do we move from simply "surviving" the mess of life to actually "occupying" our God-given purpose? In this powerful conclusion to our 4-week series, Pastor Tom explores Days 5 and 6 of Creation (Genesis 1:20-31), where God transitions from building the infrastructure of the universe to populating it with life. We discover that order is not the end goal—fruitfulness is. In this message: A Legacy Tribute: We celebrate the incredible 92-year life of Jim Welker. Hear firsthand memories of Linden Road’s history and see what it looks like to convert a lifetime of success into Kingdom significance. The 4th Day Story: Hear from Steven, a 27-year-old whose faith has been rekindled, and see how God is using him. The Chaos-Crushing Toolkit: Walk away with 4 practical, daily steps (Presence, Boundaries, Alignment, and Purpose) to keep the "Leviathan" at bay and walk in the peace of Christ. Small but Mighty: An update on our partnership with Grace Episcopal and how Linden Road is turning "Swords into Plowshares."
