How Do I Know God's Will? - Pastor Kati Lacey
In the final talk in our Big Questions mini-series, Steve Burnhope takes on a nice, easy one: How Do I Know God's Will for My Life? How does God ‘speak' to us and guide us in that? If even Jesus prayed, “I want your will to be done, not mine” (Matt 26:39), how are we supposed to get it right? Is it a detailed minute-by-minute plan, written for us before the foundation of the world ... or something else?

The Common Ground group of Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville, TN engages in a study called, "Why We Believe What We Believe." This installment is entitled, "How Do I Know God's Will?" taught be LeeEric Fesko on September 30, 2020.
It’s likely the most common question asked in Christian circles: “How Do I Know God’s Will For My Life?”. Typically we are asking for the “big things”. Career, Marriage, where to Live, College. The big decisions are where we seek God. But, God’s Will is so much bigger than these life events. These are obviously important, but God’s Will isn’t limited to just these. What we know for sure is God has a plan. God has a purpose. Doesn’t it make sense that He would reveal it to us? So, how? How does God talk to us and share His will for us?

Solitude. While there are some who love it, there are many who fear it. When looking at our relationship with Jesus, what would it look like to start dedicating focused time with him alone? What effect could solitude have on our daily lives? Join Rick for a series exploring the human side of Jesus and the practical ways we can incorporate solitude into our lives. By looking at examples in the Bible, we’ll explore Jesus’ relationship with solitude and how we can follow his lead. Have you joined the Pigs?

In the midst of chaotic and busy days, we often don’t become grateful until we are in moments of desperation. How can we start to use the transformational power of gratefulness in our everyday lives? And how can that help us gain spiritual grit? Join Rick in the last episode of our two-month pursuit of what it takes to become a “new” version of yourself. (Hint: It’s not by trying harder to get better.) This week we’ll dive into Luke 17, where an encounter Jesus has with 10 desperate men demonstrates the rewards that come from a grateful heart.

During the episode Rick and Becky will look at the traditions of Advent and relate them back to the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

Trials, pain, and sadness are very real things in this world, often rearing their ugly head during the advent season. As we face the issues brought about by these ‘challenges,’ Jesus makes us a vaguely positive promise that he has ‘overcome the world.’ What does this mean exactly, and how can it bring new hope and light to your Christmas season? Join Rick and Steph as they wrap up a month-long pursuit of the heart of advent by jumping into this ‘mud puddle’ statement found in John 16. Diving in, we’ll examine how Jesus’ promise to have ‘overcome the world’ connects directly with his birth in Bethlehem. Have you joined the Pigs?

Christmas music on the radio, movies on television, lights on houses, and delicious cookies baking in the oven. These have commonly become the sights, sounds, and smells of this season; but are they distracting us from the true meaning of Advent? Join Rick as he continues a month-long pursuit of the heart of advent by examining how Christmas traditions (the medium) can help, or hinder our celebration of the beauty of Jesus (the message) highlighted during this time.

Christmas is a supposed to be a season full of peace and good will as we celebrate the savior’s physical arrival into this world. So why instead are we often bombarded with feelings of pressure and extreme stress? We know Advent’s not supposed to be this way, but how do we change it? Join Rick and Steph as they kick off a month-long pursuit of the heart of Advent while seeking to draw near to Jesus. Searching for relief from Christmas stress, we’ll examine three examples of how Jesus responded to people facing stressful situations. Have you joined the Pigs?

Worship is designed to be a natural outflow of our reverence, adoration and exaltation of God. It’s our expression of mirroring back the truths we undoubtedly know about Jesus while showcasing our pure affection for Him. So why has people’s idea of worship frequently been reduced to singing some songs and listening to someone teach? Join Rick as he wraps up a month-long series on reinventing basic elements of our faith. Focusing on what it means to worship, we’ll slow down and pay attention to Jesus’ closest friendships in the Bible and examine how worship naturally flows as a byproduct of relationships.

A sense of humor. It can help make a good situation even better, and a difficult situation bearable. Could it also be a crucial element for a developing relationship with Jesus? Join Rick and very special guest Tommy Woodard (one half of the Skit Guys) as we continue a month long series focusing on examinging the basics of our faith. Taking a few minutes to laugh a little, we’ll slow down and explore God’s purpose for humor, including if it should be a spiritual discipline. Have you joined the Pigs?

Impatience. Restlessness. Feelings of shallowness. Emotional instability. These are just a few of the potentially destructive symptoms of living reactively. There is a known cure however, and it starts with a little bit of silence. Join Rick as he continues a month long series designed to upend expected spiritual norms by reimaging the basics of our faith. Focusing on the healing power of silence, we’ll slow down and pay attention to Matthew 14 where Jesus uses a time of personal retreat to rest and regroup. Have you joined the Pigs?
