“God’s Guidance Is Real and It’s Yours”

Pastor Doug Heisel – January 19, 2025

Directional Challenge without Jesus

Proverbs 14:12 – There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

Isaiah 53:6 – We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way…

Directional Advantages You Have With Jesus

1. Godly WISDOM is yours.

James 1:5-7 – If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

James 1:8 – Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

Psalm 37:23 – The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.

Trust God with your STEPS and your STOPS .

2. God’s written WORD is yours.

Psalm 119:105 – Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 – All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to makes us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

3. God-given OPPORTUNITIES are yours.

Esther 4:14 – For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
