Working In God’s Vineyard Series

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Jun 5, 2018

When God tells you to go and work in His vineyard, He is telling you less of self more of God’s needs. He is telling you get out of your comfort zone, go and reach out to others, go and minister to others.

Discovering God’s Will

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 9, 2011

Knowing God’s will is sometimes difficult. People want God to tell them specifically what to do - where to work, where to live, whom to marry, etc. God rarely gives people information that direct and specific. God allows us to make choices regarding those

Opening illustration: A young man facing the future and unsure of what the next year would bring, concluded, “Nobody knows what God’s will is.” Is he right? Does a lack of certainty about the future translate into not knowing God’s will? The concept of knowing God’s will is often limited to ...read more
