How Can I Know God's Will For My Life? (3 of 6)
Series: Burning Questions

Romans 12:1-2
If you have your Bible, please turn to Romans chapter 12. I want to talk about this subject: "How Can I Know God's Will For My Life." Now, I think that question is a question that all of us have asked at one time or another. I remember when I was a senior in high school, the big issue was, where are you going to go to college? And so, I didn't give that a tremendous amount of thought. I just said, "What's the biggest school in Texas? I'll go to that one." And so, I went to the University of Texas.

So, I went back home to Houston and got involved at Champion Forest Baptist Church, and got a job, and was working selling pipe couplings. And then I met Debbie, and we got married and started having kids. And, I changed jobs a couple of times and was working in the chemical industry, as many of you know. And after a few years of that, I was doing well. I was getting promoted and making sales, but I was very restless. And so, here I was in my early 30s, and we had three kids, and I had a mortgage and expenses, and a good-paying job, and I started to think, is this all that God has for me? Am I just going to continue to do this until I retire at the r ...
