Guest Speaker : Fresh Life Church
Making decisions that honor God.
The decisions we make today, determine the stories we'll tell tomorrow.
Make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.
What is God's will for my life?
He cares about...
1. Who before do
Who you are before what you do.
1 Thess 4:3 Be holy!
Holy means set apart; different.
Talked about calling and character.
Who does God want me to become?
Primary calling : live a life pleasing to God.
Character over profession!
Do anything with integrity than being a pastor without it.
2. Why before what
Motives matter to God.
Proverbs 16:2 The Lord judges motives.
Pray Psalm 139 : search my heart!
It's almost impossible to get to the right place when you start with the wrong motives.
Should I buy this car? What's the motive?
You're about to post a photo...What's the motive?
Motives matter!
Colossians 3:17 whatever you do, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Sometimes the most important things you do is not what you do, it's who you raise!
Your gifts will not take you farther than your character can sustain you.
"My sinfulness wants me to feel important."
If you've 'done it right' you'll hear, "well done my good and FAITHFUL servant."
If I"m faithful with who and why God will give me more.
How did Jesus endure?
He knew WHO He was and WHY He came!!
If you're becoming the right who, God will help you choose the right do!
If you're driven by the right why, then God will lead you to the right what!
