Pastor Dillon talks about what it means to be led by the Lord, rather than by the desires that often distract us.

 

Unburdened – Distracting Desires

 

“I feel bad and I want something to make the pain go away.”

Jeremiah 17:9 (NIV):

 

Desires distract us from facing our pain and destroy us in the process. 

Psalm 23:1-3 (NIV):

Matthew 11:28-29 (NIV):

John 8:31-32 (NIV):

 

Truth– not desire– provides the prescription for my pain.

 

Three Decisions to Make:

Decision #1- Let Jesus make all my decisions. 

Matthew 11:29 (NIV):

John 14:6 (NIV):

Decision #2- Allow God’s Word to define how I express my desires. 

Psalm 23:1,3 (NIV):

John 17:17 (NIV):

John 10:27 (NIV):

Decision #3- Make God’s goal – His glory– my goal.

Do what Jesus says: No exceptions and no excuses.
