Ned Brown 9-7-2025 | ”Lord Willing”: What God Really Wants From You (And It’s Not What You Think)

Ever wonder what "Lord willing" actually means? Ned Brown tackles one of Christianity's most misunderstood phrases and reveals something far more profound: God's ultimate will isn't about controlling your schedule or micromanaging your decisions—it's about relationship. From the Garden of Eden where God created humanity in His image to the New Jerusalem of Revelation 21, this message traces God's consistent desire for intimate fellowship with His people. Discover why God took the risk of giving humans free will, what it means that we're made in His image, and how the marriage relationship between Adam and Eve foreshadows the eternal intimacy Christ desires with His church. If you've ever struggled with understanding God's will for your life or questioned whether He wants closeness with you specifically, this sermon offers both biblical clarity and eternal perspective. Your future isn't random—it's relational, and it culminates in a place where God Himself dwells with His people forever.
