DOING GOD’S WILL?

LUKE 22:39-48                                                    Pastor Rick Jackson

 

When you want to do the will of God you might discover…         it is not what you thought…       

It is not how you thought…         it is not where you thought…     it is not who you thought

 

I. YOU BETTER RECOGNIZE

 

1. Our Foes Will Oppose Us [v. 2-6, 47-48]

 

2. Our Friends May Obstruct Us [v. 45-46]

 

3. Our Frailty May Overcome Us [v. 45-46]

 

II. YOU BETTER REORGANIZE

 

1.  Pray [v. 40, 44]

 

2. Purpose [v. 41-42, Dan. 1:8, Isaiah 50:7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.]

 

3.  Power [v. 43, Acts 1:8]

 

III. YOU BETTER RE-ENERGIZE

 

1. Make Sure you Know the Saviour [Jn. 10:14-15, 27, 6:70; Mt. 7:23]

 

2. Make Sure you Heed the Saviour’s Word [v. 31-34, Psalm 119:11, 2 Timothy 2:15]

 

3. Make Sure you Die to Self [Jn. 12:24, 1 Cor. 15:31]
