This past Sunday, I gave a message called "How to Let God Lead You."  One of the hardest parts about allowing God to lead us is not necessarily hearing His voice but being willing to follow.  One of the key points in the message is understanding how following God requires being faithful and turning away from the shallow benefits that the world offers us in the short run to pursue greater spiritual fruit in our lives in the long run.  Be sure to listen to it online if you haven't already.

If everyone understood this, it would save them from making a lot of bad choices and lead them to God's best more quickly in the long run.
