When God’s will isn’t clear…

Key verse- Proverbs 19:21

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.

1. Identify- Look at the main picture, plan and promise. Separate the mission from the noise.

Hebrews 12:2

looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Philippians 1:6

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

2. Clarify- Remove confusion and simplify.

The enemy wants you to get lost in mixed messages. The Lord confirms His word!

1 Corinthians 14:33

For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

Matthew 7:7-8

Ask, and It Will Be Given

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

3. Magnify- Focus on the Lord, His power in you, and His promises.

Colossians 1:27

To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Psalms 105:4

Seek the LORD and his strength;

seek his presence continually!

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths.

Discipline makes the difference

Galatians 6:9

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

3 Ways You Miss God’s Will

God’s will isn’t always easy, but it’s always good!

1. We over-spiritualize God’s will

Matthew 12:38-39

Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, Teacher, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet:

It’s when we try to sound spiritual but we are actually overshadowing our disobedience?

To know Gods will is to know his heart!!

You can’t ask for open doors with closed bibles!!

2. We overanalyze

The more we analyze, the less we obey!

- walk by faith not by understanding!

3. We assume that hard means wrong

Gods will looks more like sacrifice than self satisfaction!!

Jesus didn’t say take up your pillow and follow me, he said pick up your cross!

Enjoy this message by pastor Dana Pritchard on What’s The Plan. Pastor Dana talks about knowing Gods plan for our life we have to know his word. We will know Gods plan of our life when we learn to hear his voice.

We are starting our new series What’s The Plan. We will diving into what God has planned for our lives and how we can understand Gods plan for our lives. Enjoy this message by pastor Sean Pritchard as he starts our series off with a powerful message that you will want to listen to again and share with your friends!

What are you leaving behind? Something had to die so the next generation could live in the promise hand. The battles you don’t fight now will be the battles your children will have to fight in the future.

What are you fighting for? We have to continually fight our flesh to leave a goodly legacy!

We received a legacy of death from this world, but an inheritance of abundant grace and life through the One, Jesus Christ

You can only reproduce according to your kind

Your legacy is individual, but not isolated

Legacy Pt.1 Ryan Allen

Legacy isn’t attached to a name but a life style of obedience

Legacy is apart of your influence on this earth after you leave this earth

Legacy is the sum total of our life efforts

Vision with out discipline kills legacy

An unsurrendered weakness will destroy the legacy your trying to build

Deuteronomy 29:29

Heb. 11:20

Proverbs 16:9

Enjoy this message by pastor Sean Pritchard as he wraps up our series on Heroes. Pastor Sean closes our series by talking about Gideon and how God calls heroes when they don't see the potential on the inside of them!

1. Noah… Building an Ark With No Rain

2. Abraham… Offering Isaac

He Looked Foolish Because:

* God asked him to sacrifice the very son God promised him… and he waited 25 years to receive.

3. Joseph … Accepting Mary’s Pregnancy

He Looked Foolish Because:

* Others could and would assume immorality… but faith refuses to be moved by the options of the crowd... faith chooses to obey the Word of the Lord, in spite of the world’s judgement. 

4. Moses … Leading A Nation Into the Wilderness

He Looked Foolish Because:

* He remained steadfast in his conviction and faith in God even when all Israel wanted to stone him… faith in God doesn’t always make you popular.?

5. Hosea … Called to Love an Unfaithful Wife

He Looked Foolish Because:

* He was willing to allow his life to be used by God to become a prophetic sign to the people of his day to show that the love of God is not altered by our conduct… God set His love upon us before  He created us knowing that we could reject Him… and He chose to restore us. His love is never altered by our conduct.

6. Jairus … Trusting Jesus for His Daughter’s Life

He Looked Foolish Because:

* He was a ruler of the synagogue, to come and humble himself before Jesus and to ask for His help was not acceptable for a man in his position.

7. The Father of the Prodigal Son ... Running Towards a Broken Son

He Looked Foolish Because:

* Patriarchs in the culture of that day did not run publicly.

We hope that you enjoyed this message by Pastor Cole McGowan on heroes as he talks about some heroes in the Bible and the blueprint that God has for our life!
