Luke 5:1-11
We Could Look At Several ThingsFrom This Passage:
Jesus Able And Willing To Teach….
Work Ethic ….
Always Be Available….
Use What Gifts God Has Given You….
Learning To Fish For Men….
We Want To Look At …
Obedience
Choices
Listening To God
Obedience
We Don’t Find Out What GOD Wants First Then We Decide Whether Or Not To Obey James 1:22-25
He Is GOD And He Calls The ShotsMakes the rules….Gives the Orders….
Delayed Obedience Is Disobedience
Choices
We make them every day and they effect our lives greatly….
Big or small they matter….
Need to make WISE choices….
Listening
Listen to other people Prov.12:15
Learn to Listen to God1 Sam 3:9-11
Ron I’m Listening but…
How Do I Know When GOD Is Speaking To Me?
Of Course I Will Obey If GOD Says…
He’s not Live speaking To Me Like He Did To Peter And Samuel
What are ways God speaks to us today??
The WORD Luke 4:4 21:33
Spouse/Parents Prov.31:26-28 Ex 20:12
Godly Counsel Prov. 1:2-4
History/Past Experiences
GOD “speaks” To All People….
GOD Is Willing That None Should Perish…
Those Who Respond And Become HIS,
GOD Then “speaks” To Us Often…
Are We Listening ..Are We
Obeying GOD?
We want you to think of some things/decisions that you or someone you know is going through …..
If we have time we will take that through this process and try to “find” Gods answer
Prayer the other element…
After Checking Gods Word, Counseling with parents /spouse and other Godly peopleContinuously learning lessons from our history/experiences ……
We then take all the TIME possible
and Pray seriously! Not just say we will but Do it!
Prayer
Talk to God tell Him the good the bad and the ugly…
He already knows that …
We don’t know what to doWe need directionWe are confusedWe may be frustratedWe may even be angry
He LOVES us unconditionally
Prayer The Back SIDE
oSometimes just Talking (praying) to God out loud helps us discern what to do
oPraying/thinking/mulling it over between God and our selves
oHelps to put problem in “perspective”
oOften helps remove fear and mystery
We NEED to LISTEN to God as well as talk to God
He does not “speak verbally” through dreams or visions…
He gives us PEACE JOY COMFORT in our heart of hearts
Not always does He remove the problem/situation
But we NEVER go through it alone…
Daniel 3:14-ff
Psalms 23:4-6
We want you to think of some things/decisions that you or someone you know is going through …..
If we have time we will take that through this process and try to “find” Gods answer
