Series: “Acts: The Movement Breaks Out” - Part 6 of 14
Message: Discerning God’s Will

Text: Acts 15:36-16:10
Big idea: God desires for us to discover and surrender to His personal will for our lives.

Setting the stage
Roadblock #1 = prevented from going to Asia
Roadblock #2 = prevented from going to Bithynia
An interesting dream = sent to Macedonia

3 Wills of God
1.

= the will of God that is going to happen no matter what
2. = the will of God for my life morally as expressed in the Bible
3. = the will of God for my life specifically

The more I get to know the providential will of God and the moral will of God, the better I will be able to discern the personal will of God.

3 potential responses to God’s personal will choosing God’s will over my will
1. I want what

want . Genesis 16:1-2
2. I want what wants, . Mark 10:21-22
What “but” is in the way of me doing God’s will?


3. I want what wants . Luke 9:23

How to determine if an opportunity is from God?
1. What does the

say? 2 Timothy 3:16-17
2. What does the say? Galatians 5:16
3. What do say? Proverbs 11:4
4. What does or say? Romans 12:6
