Where Jesus Wants You | W.D. Frazee Sermons #0359
Have you found the one thing worth selling everything for? In this warm, personal study from November 15, 1977, Elder W.D. Frazee opens the twin parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:44–46) to address one of life's deepest questions: How do I know where God wants me?
Speaking from nearly 36 years at Wildwood and over 70 years of life, Elder Frazee shares with transparent honesty that he is a happy man — not because he never made mistakes, but because he found the treasure in the field God gave him to plow. Through the examples of David herding sheep after being anointed king, Jesus working as a carpenter for two decades, and Elder A.G. Daniells wrestling in a hayloft until he knew God's will, this sermon dismantles the restless idea that happiness comes from constant promotion, new challenges, or being somewhere else.
The message is simple and life-changing: the plan of the universe centers where you are, as far as you're concerned. You can't aim any higher than being just where Jesus wants you to be.
Key Themes: — The hidden treasure and the pearl: finding what's worth your whole life — Why restlessness is never cured by constant change — David's patience: anointed as king, sent back to the sheep — Jesus the carpenter: 20+ years of faithful, hidden service — A.G. Daniells in the hayloft: owning your calling before God — "No human being can get in your way except you"
Key Texts: Matthew 13:44–46 | Proverbs 18:22 | 1 Samuel 16:7 | Luke 2:49 | Hebrews 1:9 | Philippians 2:8
