Week 3 | Decisions | The Way of Wisdom
This week’s message tackles one of the biggest sources of anxiety for Christians: trying to figure out God’s specific will for every decision. Many people live under pressure, afraid that one wrong move will somehow take them “outside” of God’s plan. But the sermon reframes that idea by distinguishing between different aspects of God’s will. God’s sovereign will cannot be thwarted, and His moral will has been clearly revealed in Scripture. The confusion often comes when we assume there is a hidden, specific “dot” we must discover for every life decision.
Instead, Scripture points us toward something far more freeing: God has already given us everything we need for a godly life. Our responsibility is not to uncover secret instructions, but to obey what He has clearly revealed and then walk forward in wisdom. Where God has spoken, we obey. Where He has not spoken, we are given both the freedom and the responsibility to choose.
From the very beginning in Genesis, God designed humanity with this kind of freedom. Adam was given boundaries—but within those boundaries, real choice. In the same way, God is not trying to create fearful, paralyzed followers, but wise, trusting children. The call is to stop obsessing over the future, trust God’s goodness, seek His kingdom first, and move forward in faith-filled decision-making.
