Thank you Terry for today's lesson...
LESSON: FOLLOW THE LORD'S WILL - Isaiah 29:13-16; 30:1-3, 15-18
Biblical Truth: The Lord expects His people to seek His will and to live accordingly.
What is Worship? - Isaiah 29:13-14
We can begin to discern the Lord's will by worshiping Him in spirit and in truth.
Who's in Charge? - Isaiah 29:15-16
We can grow in our ability to discern the Lord's will by acknowledging He is our Maker and by giving priority to His purposes.
Who Knows Best? - Isaiah 30:1-3
We can find the Lord's will when with obedient hearts we daily ask for His guidance.
What Should We Do? - Isaiah 30:15-18
We can follow God's will when we patiently, consistently, and confidently trust Him to show us the way rather than taking actions that seem good to us.


A warm welcome to our newest members of Adult V...
