How To Get What You Really Want – Week 3


Speaker: Aaron Policelli


What do you want?
 
What we really want isn’t what we really want.
 
What we naturally want is often in conflict with what we ultimately value.
 
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
Romans 7:15
 
Actions lead, feelings follow.
 
Feelings lead, actions get us into trouble.
 
If we always do what we want to do, we end up where we don’t want to be.
 
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,
Galatians 5:19
 
idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these.
Galatians 5:20-21
 
Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:21
 
Forget about the past and focus on the future.
 
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end.
Lamentations 3:22
 
“What do I really want?” to “What does God really want?”
 
What does God really want?
 
What does God want FROM us?
 
What does God want FOR us?
 
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
Galatians 5:22-23
 
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
Galatians 5:16

Grant is our resident farmboy. He grew up in the cornfields of northwest Nebraska. He spent his early days living far from God. As Grant says, "I gave God the middle finger and didn't really care about faith at all." As a young man, he became convinced that God was real. He gave his life to Jesus and experienced God's amazing grace that previously made no sense to him. After experiencing that grace, Grant felt God calling him to teach the message of the gospel. Over the past 20 years, he has been preaching and teaching. Grant, his wife, Bethany, and their four children moved to Michigan in 2011, and he joined the 2|42 team in 2019. Grant is always good for a laugh, but more importantly, he explains biblical concepts in ways anyone can understand.
