The Know-It-All God

by Pastor Meng Chiam

Big idea :
We need to rest and entrust our lives to the God who knows it all

Psalm 139
1. Who (God knows who we are)
vs 1-6
# God knows everything about YOU
- your habits
- your thoughts
- your self that you are (Matthew 10:30)

2. Where (God knows where YOU are) NO FEAR!
vs 7-12
# No place God is not
# No spot God cannot (1 kings 19:9)
- what are you doing here?
- Just do it!
- Step of faith!
- Call out His name!

3. When (God knows when is the season of life in our lives) NO WORRY!
vs 13-18
# before you were born
# before you expire (Luke 22)
- God's foreknowledge is to caution us, warn us, prepare us (Psalm 31:14-15)

4. Why (God knows why and our questions) NO PANIC!
vs 19-24
# the evil from without
# the evil from within
# God is infinitely patient
# search me, test me, lead me

Learn to have confidence in this God we have
Keep calm and remember I know it all!

Extraordinary trust led by the Lord

by Pastor Calvin Lee

What is God's will?
How do I know God's will?

We all want to make the right decision because wrong decision will have a repercussion in our lives and the lives of other people around us.

Stop looking for a formula!
Element of faith is needed!

FEAR stands in the way of a good decision!
Remember that our thinking is FINITE! (We have great limitations in our understanding)
Whenever there is a special FAVOUR, we cannot automatically take it as a sign to proceed!
It is important to be FAITHFUL in our walk with God, in our daily devotion!

Talk to Godly friends

Proverbs 3:5
1. Discard self sufficiency
"lean not on your own understanding"

# Don't totally depend on our human reasoning because it can be flawed. Why?
A. Because our hearts is not completely reliable as mentioned in Jeremiah 17:9
B. Because our understanding is limited as mentioned in Proverbs 14:12


2. Demonstrate God's dependency
"in all your ways submit/acknowledge to Him"
- We consciously and intentionally bring our ways to God, we involve God in our decision making, seek Him

"This is not to say that trusting God means we no longer are responsible for figuring out the best course of action, but that we put God’s desires at the center of our decision-making"
- Koptak -


3. Discern God's direction
"and He will make your path straight"
A. Promise
B. Process


Pastor Calvin's way in seeking God :
- Word from God
- Warmth (impression grow strong and deep)
- Wisom (ask God to grant wisdom)
- Ways (learn to discern God's ways in life)
- Whys (check the motivation in heart, is it self centered or kingdom centered?)

3. God's sovereignty decrees and designs circumstances to make our path straight for his glory

4. God can overule personal folly or people's evil intentions to bring about his intended results

5. God's will is not a roadmap but a relationship
