Finding & Following
God’s Basic Game Plan

1) Relax, it’s not hard to find!
       _{^{Ephesians 5:17}}

2) It’s found on a highway called obedience.
       _{^{Proverbs 4:18-19  &  Proverbs 28:9    Proverbs 14:6   1:23-33  &  Romans 1:18-32
        2 Peter 1:3-12}}

• Start with what you know intuitively.
• Next, follow the Bible’s clear commands.

So, before asking God where to live, what job to take or what college to go to – ask, “Am I. . .” o Following Christ   2 Peter 3:9  &  2 Corinthians 8:5 o Controlled by the Holy Spirit  Ephesians 5:17-18 o Staying sexually pure  1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 o Thankful  1 Thessalonians 5:18 o Submitting to authority  1 Peter 2:13-15 & Ephesians 6:6

MIRACLES & MESSES:
How God Leads In Special Situations

1) When God has a special plan,
      it’s usually revealed one step at a time.
        _{^{See Abraham’s story in Genesis 12:1–25:8}}


2) If I’ve messed up God’s “Plan A,”
      there’s always a “Plan B.”
        _{^{Jeremiah 18:1-8     Ezekiel 18:21-28     1 John 1:9}}
