Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this message, Pastor Levi Lusko addresses the common struggle of discovering God's will, revealing that God does not hide His purpose from us. True direction begins when we recognize that our lives belong to Christ and make it our goal to bring Him glory in everything we do—whether in word or deed. As we delight ourselves in the Lord, He transforms our hearts and guides our steps through our renewed desires, wise counsel, scripture, and even life's frustrations.

Key Points

1.
Discovering God's will begins with doing everything—whether in word or deed—to the glory of God.
2.
Rather than asking what God's will is for our own life, we must realize that our life belongs entirely to Him because Jesus bought us at a price on the cross.
3.
True purpose comes from surrendering ownership to Christ and evaluating every decision by whether it brings Him honor.
4.
When you delight yourself in the Lord, He changes the desires of your heart, giving you freedom to pursue what you want to do as He guides your passions.
5.
Evaluating life through '5G living' (grace, growth, godliness, generosity, and community) acts as an audit to ensure our worship and heart stay centered on Christ.
6.
Seeking wise counsel from vetted, godly leaders is essential for discerning God's will and walking in safety.
7.
God uses the unique 'passports' in our lives—our access through careers, life circumstances, networks, and even pain—to reach others and fulfill His will.
8.
Frustrations, detours, and apparent 'dead ends' are often intentional layovers where God carries out His most powerful work.

Sermon Moments

“His will for your life is not fuzzy.”

“9/10 or maybe 99.999% of God's will is remembering who owns who.”

“If it's not of worship, it's dead weight. If it's not of faith, it becomes sin.”

“Your passion becomes your permission.”

“Your worship becomes your rudder.”

“If you ain't got 5G, you ain't speaking into me.”

“Our pain is a passport that can allow us to go places and be listened to by people that we might not have ever reached otherwise.”

“God does some of his most powerful work through what frustrates us the most.”

This Week

Filter every decision, conversation, and action this week through the question: 'Does this bring glory and honor to Jesus?'

Surrender ownership of your day to God each morning, recognizing that your life was bought with Christ's blood on the cross.

Cultivate delight in the Lord through daily prayer, worship, and scripture so that your personal desires align with His heart.

Practice '5G living' by auditing your life for grace, spiritual growth, godliness, generosity, and active community.

Seek input from trusted, godly leaders and mentors before taking major steps or making significant life decisions.

Identify your personal 'passports'—such as your career, life story, or seasons of pain—and ask God how to use them to reach others with the gospel.

Reframe current frustrations or closed doors, trusting that God can turn apparent dead ends into divine opportunities for His purpose.

Remember This

God's will is for you to do everything to the glory of God and, as you delight yourself in Him, to freely pursue the desires He places in your heart.

A Challenge for You

Reshift the weight of your soul onto the solid rock of God's word, surrendering your life completely to live for His glory and follow His Spirit wherever He leads.
