The Three Wills of God (1 of 4)
Series: Just Do Something - How to Find God's Will

Introduction: It is God's will for you to listen to this sermon. What are the odds that you would ''just happen'' to come to church this morning and happen to be here for this message on God's will? Obviously, it's a sign. Of all the hundreds of churches in town and the hundreds of sermons being preached right now, you found this one. Wow. I have chills. Do not pass up this divinely orchestrated moment. If you had missed this moment there's a good chance you will completely miss God's will for the rest of your life and spend your days in misery and regret.

Our grandparents built. Our parents boomed. Now, we tinker. Tinkering is not all bad, but tinkering can mean indecision, contradiction, and instability. Young adulthood keeps getting longer and longer. It used to be that thirty seemed old and far removed from youth, but now it is not uncommon to hear of folks ''coming of age'' at forty.
Consider this one statistic: In 1960, 77% of women and 65% of men completed all the major transitions into adulthood by age thirty. These transitions include leaving home, finishing school, becoming financially independent, getting married, an ...
