The God Who Uses Human Agency

James Rochford

Exodus 17:8-18:27

Even though God is all-powerful, He chooses to accomplish His work through human agency. He works through our weaknesses and through training others. Moses learned to delegate the less weighty problems to other worthy men. He did not over delegate and walk away from his responsibilities. He learned leadership requires humility to receive input from others to ask for help.

The Full Armor of God

Conrad Hilario

How Do I Know God's Will for My Life?

James Rochford

Ephesians 5:15-17

The Bible gives five means for discovering God's will for your life. Growing in your knowledge of the Bible allows you to know God's nature and values which reveals His will for us. Praying is how we access "the counsel of the Lord." We can ask Him! God has given us the ability to reason which is another way to discern God's will. Seeking mature advice from other Christians is a wise way to discover God's will. Our personal desires can also reveal God's will for our lives. He created each of us for a purpose and implanted desires in our hearts that fit that purpose.

Parenting Goals:Parenting Desires

Bev DeLashmutt

John 13:34

Bev DeLashmutt discusses the important differences between goals and desires in parenting. A goal is an achievements that a person works toward to accomplish a sense of well-being. Desires may not be under your control to achieve. Godly goals are achievements that reflect God's purpose for your life that do not depend upon people or circumstances beyond your ability to control. Having godly goals will give you a foundational sense of success, fulfillment, happiness, confidence, peace and enjoyment but will not necessarily eliminate the frustrations, disappointments, fears, and heartaches of parenting.

Nehemiah is a great example of faith from the Old Testament. He demonstrated biblical faith by being willing to act according to God's Word with complete dependence upon God. His first step of faith was to pray to God. He viewed his circumstances in light of who God is. He then waited on God to direct him. He looked to God to determine the value of his step of faith.
