We spent the last two weeks talking about the sacrifices that must made to accomplish our purpose. The flesh always wants to take the easy route. The problem is the easy route rarely leads to anything great in life.
If you really want to get into a specific college you will need certain grades. Maybe you are a B- student and it will take A- to get in. There are going to be certain sacrifices you will need to make to get to that goal. The flesh will tell you it's no big deal if you don't make it into that college. You can always take a year of or just go to the community college (not that there's anything wrong with community colleges. But if your dream was Princeton...).
It will take the Spirit in you to be in charge and to tell the will that he is not going to listen to the flesh or emotions when making its decision.
This week we have our very own Fred Weaver who will be guest speaking. Then next week I will wrap up this series with a message about seasons in our lives and how to adjust to each season to get out of that time all that God wants you to get.
