Topic: PurposeNotes:

- Jude planned out his work but set it aside when interrupted- We will be defined by our interruptions, not our ideal goals- BP being defined by oil spill...- Wife with cancer-interruption- Interruptions can be mishandled- Story of inmate serving life sentence and his mother who regretted not taking him to church when he wanted to go (interruption)- Jesus stopped for woman who touched his robe... His response to the interruption brought healing and transformation- We have clear goals and objectives: career, family...- Woman caught in adultery-Jesus forgave, changed her life- The ministry of Jesus is defined by interruptions

- Some of us need to interrupt Jesus and sometimes He interrupts (as with Saul on the road to Damascus)
