Yesterday Evening's Sermon Notes

Pastor Johnston
“Knowing and Doing the Will of God”
2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4

This is a very big topic, especially in college age young adults, but it doesn’t stop with college, it goes on through the rest of life.
Here in this passage Paul tells us about discerning of God
Everything is dependant on the character of God.
...
The Bible does not really present the way to discern the will of God. Instead, we are to walk in the will.
...
Knowing God’s will means that we walk in God’s will – our life is in the will of God.
Verse 18 – he who says he abides in God, will walk in God’s way. We don’t have to twist God’s arm, find verses in the Bible, go to conferences etc… those will probably help, but are not really the way that God reveals his will to us.
The best way to find the will of God is now, by doing the will of God step by step.
God calls us to walk in his way – Psalm 86B - a great application of the sermon.
