August 24, 2025 – The Key to Knowing the Will of God
Sermon: 1688 The Coming Kingdom of Christ, Part 2
Pray Over This
“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”
Ponder This
Have you ever wanted to know the will of God while, at the very same time, were not wanting to do the will of God? God is sovereign. If you want to know what God’s will is, you have to spend time with Him. God does not reveal His will to rebels.
The first step in knowing the will of God is to surrender. In John 15:7, Jesus says, “Abide in Me.” That's surrender. Have you ever totally, honestly, sincerely, with all of your heart, with every inch, with every ounce, with every nerve, every fiber, as much as is in you, said “Thy will be done”? Do you want to know God’s will? Abide in Him, surrendering your will to His.
The next step in knowing the will of God is to receive His Word. Jesus follows “Abide in Me” with, “My words abide in you.” That's Scripture. You take the Word of God as God's revelation to you—it is God's Word to you. Do you want to know God's will? Spend time in His Word! It is hypocritical to say we want to know the will of God, and yet do not study the Word of God to know what the will of God is. If you want God’s guidance in your life, spend time with Him.
- What is your time with God like? What are some ways you can grow in spending time with Him?
- In what situations do you want to know God’s will right now? How have you taken steps toward knowing God’s will so far?
