It's impossible to be loving and healthy like Jesus without a heart that's fully surrendered to the Lord.

Thankfully, we can learn to cultivate healthy heart habits that trust God to care for us and partner with him to will good for others. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi cast a beautiful yet practical vision for living with a pure heart that's attached to God and attuned to his will.

Are you like a deer in headlights when trying to determine God's will for your life—frozen, overthinking, afraid to make the wrong move? In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how to find peace, clarity, and confidence for your next step.God's will is not a puzzle to solve; it's a path to walk. Too many Christians are trying to crack a code, but God is asking us to surrender to a Shepherd.You can know God's will for your life. Ephesians 5:17 ESV: "Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."Three WRONG ideas about God's will:Everything that happens is God's perfect will. - wrong There's a difference between God's permissible will (what He allows) and His perfect will (what He desires). While God is in charge, He does not directly cause every event. Humans have free will and can act apart from God's will, and Jesus calls Satan the god of this world. 1 Timothy 2:4 NLT ... If God desires all people to be saved, yet not all are saved, then not everything that happens is His perfect will.God's will is permanently set. - wrong Jeremiah 18:7–8 NLT .... Though God is in charge, He allows people's response to influence what He does. God's sovereignty does not cancel your responsibility, nor is it threatened by your participation.Don't do anything unless you're 100% sure it's God. - wrong God usually gives direction while we're in motion, not frozen. Even God can't steer a parked car—you apply the gas while He turns the wheel. Acts 16:10 NLT .... God guides walkers more than watchers.How to walk in God's will:Search the written Word. The Bible reveals God's general will; the spoken word reveals His specific will—but never contradicts Scripture. Psalm 119:105 ESVWalk closely with the Lord. The Bible gives principles; intimacy reveals your path. Romans 12:2 NLT ... Don't make knowing God's will your goal; make knowing God your goal.Focus on who you're becoming. Matthew 6:33 ESV ... We want a map; God is building the man. If you're spiritually mature, trust your decisions. God isn't raising dependent toddlers but mature sons and daughters who know His heart. 1 Corinthians 2:16 NLT; Psalm 37:4 ESVIf you miss it, trust God to reroute. Isaiah 55:7 NLT: A wrong turn doesn't have to be your final destination. God is better at rerouting your life than you are at messing it up.Conclusion: Remember maps? But better than a map is traveling with someone who's already been there. That's how walking with God works. When His will becomes your will, He illuminates your path—what looked confusing becomes clear, what seemed impossible becomes attainable.You don't need to know everything about the road when you know the One riding with you.God has a will for your life. Are you learning to walk it with Him?
Northwest Bible Church - April 12, 2026 - Matthew - Alan Conner Matthew 6:10 God's Kingdom and Will Intro A. THE MEANING OF KINGDOM. 1. BDAG - 1. The act of ruling; royal power, rule and reign. This is the primary component, God's reigning activity. 2. territory ruled by a king, kingdom. 2. TDNT, I:582f. 1. the essential meaning is reign rather than realm. 2. this reign comes down by divine intervention, not by human efforts. . . 3. “the concern of the kingdom as God's action towards man is soteriological, so that our explanation of it stands or falls with our explanation of soteriology generally in the preaching of Jesus Christ and His apostles.” B. THE PRESENT KINGDOM. 1. The kingdom of God came with Jesus. Mark. 1:15; Luke. 17:20-21 2. The kingdom of God has come. Matthew. 12:28; Acts 5:16; 8:7 3. The keys of the kingdom were given. Matthew. 16:18-19; 18:18. 4. The kingdom of God was given to the church. Matthew. 21:43; Luke. 12:32; Revelation. 1:6 5. The kingdom started small and grew. Matthew. 13:31-32 6. The kingdom is being entered now. Luke. 16:16 7. Christ's kingdom is not of this world. John 18:36; Colossians. 1:13 C. HOW TO PRAY “THY KINGDOM COME”. 1. ETHICAL - Intensively for God's people. 2. EVANGELISTIC - Extensively among the lost. 3. ESCHATOLOGICAL - ultimately for the future. D. THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN. 1. Reference is to God's “revealed will” of His moral law now and future glory. 2. Immediate, complete and whole-hearted obedience on earth as in heaven. 3. This is needed both by unbelievers and believers. Conclusion
As we enter Holy Week, we can ponder Jesus's fundamental motivation. Whether growing up in Nazareth or preaching throughout Galilee and Judea, whether acclaimed by the crowds or nailed to the Cross, Jesus is always doing one thing: fulfilling his Father's will. This is at the crux of our own identity as sons and daughters of God in Christ
Removing sinful influences is not just about your effort; it's about His empowerment.

What if the very challenges you face are part of God's greater plan for your good? In this sermon, Pastor James Wilson shares the truth of Romans 8:28, reminding us that all things work together for good to those who love God. From struggles with health and family to the battles against sin, Pastor Wilson teaches that God's sovereignty is absolute and His plan is never shaken. Drawing strength from Romans 8:37, he encourages us that we are more than conquerors through Christ's love. The key lesson is this: no matter what “things” you are facing, faith and obedience to God's Word will lead you to victory and transformation.
