How are you seeing life? We see thousands of things in a day, and what we see determines how we move forward in life. Our vision is filtered through our souls—do we see fear and hesitation? Or do we see a platform for the glory of God to be revealed? Let's pray for God to give us fresh eyes to see that He has given us His Spirit to make things alive in us.

 Pastor Brian teaches on upgrading through spiritual correction and discipline.

In this sermon, Pastor Brian examines the phrase "your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" from the Lord's Prayer, addressing the tension between God's sovereignty and human free will. He distinguishes between God's moral will—the framework for how we should live—and God's sovereign will—His overarching plan that will ultimately be accomplished. Using personal examples like his family's car accident with a fleeing criminal, Pastor Brian illustrates how events that don't align with God's moral desires can still be used within His sovereign plan. Pastor Brian explains that when we pray for God's will to be done, we're not attempting to influence God but rather aligning ourselves with His purposes. We can discern God's moral will through Scripture, being led by the Holy Spirit, and having our minds renewed through regular engagement with God's Word and His people. As we choose to live according to God's ways, we experience a taste of heaven on earth, similar to how angels in heaven perfectly obey God. The prayer is ultimately a surrender of our own plans and desires, trusting that as Romans 8:28 promises, all things work together for good for those who love God.

Pastor Brian speaks about how we can tend to live according to old ways, even after we've committed to following Jesus. In Christ, however, we died to the old way and now live in a new way.
