April 27, 2023 • David Chen, Callum Sydserff • 1 Thessalonians 4:3, 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Romans 12:1–2, Ephesians 5:17, John 6:40

Scripture:

Ephesians 5:17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.


John 6:40 For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes into Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.


1 Thessalonians 4:3a For this is the will of God, your sanctification.


1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Always rejoice, unceasingly pray, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.


Romans 12:1-2, 5 I exhort you therefore, brothers, through the compassions of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect…So we who are many are one Body in Christ, and individually members one of another.


1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.


Ephesians 3:3-4 That by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I have written previously in brief, By which, in reading it, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ, 


Acts 8:1, 4 And Saul approved of his killing. And there occurred in that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and all were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria…Those therefore who were scattered went throughout the land announcing the word as the gospel. 


Acts 16:6-7 And they passed through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. And when they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, yet the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them. 


Romans 8:6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace.


Acts 21:4, 10-12, 14 And when we had sought out the disciples, we remained there seven days. These told Paul through the Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem. And while we remained there many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. And he came to us and took Paul’s belt; and having bound his own feet and hands, he said, Thus says the Holy Spirit, In this way will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man whose belt this is and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. And when we heard these things, both we and those in that place entreated him not to go up to Jerusalem. And since he would not be persuaded, we became silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
