19880522 How To Know The Will Of God - Rev. Tommy Jones

Is it important for us to know God’s will? Have you ever wondered #why you are here or if there is a #purpose to your life? If you want to know why you were created, why not ask the Creator? God promises success if we follow His plan for our life. But, who defines what success looks like? Does God lay out His plans for us all at once? Is there any risk involved in turning control over to God? What is our role in finding out God’s will? When is the right time to start following it? What must happen first? What are the next steps for finding the will of God? Will the will of God ever contradict the Word of God? Do our feelings or common sense ever play a part in finding God’s will? How about the advice of other Christ followers? What part does peace play in this process?

19880619 Living Waters - Rev. Tommy Jones

What kind of water are you drinking? Is it tap water (hopefully not from #Flint, Michigan), or #spring water, or even reclaimed #seawater? Jesus came to give us living water to keep us from getting thirsty ever again. What does that mean? What is the importance of this hour, right now? Who made the first move between Jesus and this woman at the well? Why was this interaction so unusual? What makes living water better than the water that this world has to offer? Why did Jesus bring up this woman’s husband? What kind of theological deflection did she try to sidetrack the discussion? What answer did Christ give her that led her to salvation? What evidence do we see of her decision? What were the disciples doing during this encounter?
