God Has Plans and Purposes for Every Season of Our Lives
Today Pastor Dan Hiatt shares how God has directed his steps throughout his life and how God is directing yours too.
- Living Sacrifice…God’s Will
Romans 12: 1-2 NIV
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Do I want what God wants more than what I want?
- Power/Baptism in the Holy Spirit
Acts 1:8 NIV
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”Fruit of the Spirit/Life in the Spirit
Galatians 5:22-23, 25 NIV22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things, there is no law.25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
- Love God and Love People
Matthew 22:37, 39 NIV
37 Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Make Disciples
Matthew 28:19-20 NIV19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
- Trust in the Lord …He will show you which path to take.
Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
