| Sermon Notes:
Who is Your Navigator?
Jacob used Daniel as an example of a person
in the Bible who had confidence in God's leading in his life. We can all
make a difference in this world if we rely on the Lord to lead us and
empower us to do His will. We have to look to Him instead of ourselves for
wisdom and strength. As we obey the Lord, we find that our desire and power
to obey Him is strengthened. The benefits of obedience is clear.
To follow God, we need to know Him, and we
learn about Him and His will for our lives by studying Scripture. We can ask
for the Holy Spirit to lead us and give us power over fear. If we recall
examples of where God has demonstrated His faithfulness in our lives in the
past, it will give us confidence in His faithfulness in the present and
future.
John 15:12, 13 - My command is this: Love
each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one
lay down his life for his friends.
Philippians 2: 3 - Do nothing out of selfish
ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than
yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also
to the interests of others.
