Does God have a will for your life, or does he just want you to love him and use your own wisdom in decisions? If he does have a will, what will happen if you miss it? In discerning God’s will, should you pray and listen, ask lots of advice, or just use common sense? The Bible gives clear answers to all these questions – answers that we need both for ourselves and for those we lead. In this talk Dave unpacks five ways the Bible teaches us to discover God’s will, and show how God plans and reveals his plan for our lives.
