Listening Through The Noise 3 - Get to Stepping (Responding to the Will of God)

Evergreen Christian Community

If you don’t first live in God’s revealed will, then you can't possibly hope to understand His concealed will.

2 Corinthians 5:16-21

Big Idea: God’s will cannot be discovered by seeking IT, it unfolds as you seek HIM.

Fix Your Eyes Forward

Galatians 5:1

Live for the name on the front

"Play for the name on the front of the shirt and they will remember the name on the back." - Tony Adams

Proverbs 3:5-6

Proverbs 16:3

Be Reconciled

Psalms 37:4

“Love God and do whatever you please: for the soul trained in love to God will do nothing to offend the One who is Beloved.” - Augustine of Hippo

Colossians 3:17

If God has put a desire in your heart, and it can be done in the name of Jesus Christ then do it!

Response:

• Freedom is found in God’s will for your life.

• Get your eyes off of you, and on to Jesus.

• Chase what God desires.
