Sermon Notes

Most Christians will tell you they want to obey the will of God.  We love to say, “I want to do what God wants me to do.”  It sounds good doesn’t it?  The problem is most of us say that phrase with two fingers crossed behind our backs.  In this account in Acts Paul get some bad news from a prophet about what fate awaited him in Jerusalem.  In the face of much pleading by his fellow travelers and believers for him to not keep his plans to go to Jerusalem he decided to go regardless of the danger.  Luke ends the story by saying those who were trying to get Paul not to go gave up trying to persuade him by simply stating, “The will of the Lord be done!”  It was a statement that they identified that it was God’s will that Paul go to Jerusalem and they yielded to that will.  In this message we will examine the concept of yielding to the will of God through faithful obedience and trust.
