How to Get Your Big Questions Answered…

January 17, 2016 By Rev. Michael Caines

The Discipline of Guidance – Sermon Notes Below

Announcements

Guidance Sermon Notes

Big Idea: God gives clarity through unity

X2: If we ask God together, the answer is always clearer

Story/Context: 18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.’ Matt. 18

  • Intimate connection God’s will and God’s power – When we seek God’s will, his power often follows
  • Different than just using our intellect – not just thinking logically together
  • With God, the Facts are not the only factor: Bible: Noah, Moses, David&Goliath, Peter on water, feed 5000, etc
  • Seek first Kingdom together – unity that leads to an authority
  • Need at least 4 Satellites for strong signal
  • Guidance – “2nd last chapter”.
  • Necessary Background: Christian Meditation, Study, Fasting, Solitude, Simplicity, etc.
  • Learning to be guided by God alone and together – grows out of the foundational disciplines

How? We learn about God from Light, Rock… Wind

Fellowship with Holy Spirit like wind – we are each like flags… Together we are also like flags – Spirit aligns us together. – no contradiction

Rev. Michael Caines

I live to answer the question: “So how did you go from civil engineering to becoming a priest??” I have been here since 2008 when I arrived as the assistant. Since 2012 I have been leading the church as the Priest-in-Charge, and now as the full-time Lead Pastor. I grew up in Sussex, N.B. and then studied Civil Engineering at UNB Fredericton. After a brief period in youth ministry my wife and I moved to Uganda to teach and work at an Anglican Secondary School. After that, I studied at Wycliffe College in Toronto, ON and was ordained in 2008. I served with the Naval Reserve for a number of years but now as the Chaplain for 3 Field Artillery Regiment in Saint John and Woodstock, N.B. I love the outdoors and in my down time I enjoy running, sailing and playing music, but most importantly, time with my family.
