Sermons About Guidance
Guidance in Community
In a culture that worships individualism, most desire community but few experience it. For those who find community, what should be rich and meaningful often ends up thin and dissatisfying. What if community is not just something we're looking for but something we're destined for? And what if this community is deeper, richer, and grander than anything we've known? Join us as we explore these questions in our new series, "Sharing Life."

Sovereignty and guidance
Guidance is a regular topic amongst Christians – we want to know how & where God is urging us, moving us and directing us. And its not surprising that we want direction – cos life is full of decisions. Yet every decision has its repercussions – some we can see; others are quite unexpected. Every decision has consequences. Take some of the big ones: who we marry, what job we take. They affect many, many things. Because we aren’t God, we don’t know how it will work out. And we are not in complete control of the outcome. Making such decisions is hard. How then can we get help from God. How do we find out his will? The Good News is that God has great plans and that he is Sovereign in the world - he knows all things, and he rules over all things. God gives us general principles to live by – and within those we are free to choose. The Bible says very little about “personal guidance”. Here are some big principles: 1. God, as Sovereign in the world, uses everything to guide is in right paths 2. God speaks to us through Christ – this is the high point of all he has to say. Heb 1:1ff 3. God speaks to us today by his Son through the Holy Spirit in the Scriptures. God’s guidance is not like a detailed map – more like a compass. We are not given every detail for every decision. God gives us the general directions and we make good judgements and wise decisions. The compass is the Bible.
