Leading and Serving Through Faithful Preparation – Well Faith with Chris Teien

Planning for the future is wise, but faithful leadership and service begin with preparation that honors God. Pastor Chris Teien explores how the book of Proverbs teaches believers to prepare wisely, make godly decisions, and trust the Lord to establish their steps. Discover how biblical wisdom can equip you to lead and serve faithfully wherever God calls you. In This Message1. Plan Your RouteWise preparation begins by establishing the right priorities before pursuing the next opportunity. This message explores how Proverbs encourages thoughtful planning, seeking wise counsel, counting the cost, and trusting God to direct each step, using examples from Joseph and Jesus' teaching on careful preparation. (Proverbs 24:27; Proverbs 6:6-8; Proverbs 15:22; Proverbs 16:9; Genesis 41:33-36; Luke 14:28-30)2. Prepare for the JourneyPreparation means thinking carefully before moving forward rather than reacting impulsively. Through Proverbs, the examples of Noah and the wise builder, this section shows the importance of recognizing danger, making thoughtful decisions, and obeying God's instructions before challenges arise. (Proverbs 14:15; Proverbs 22:3; Genesis 6:13-22; Matthew 7:24-27)3. Carry What You NeedEvery believer carries something into life's journey, and Scripture calls us to carry what strengthens rather than what weighs us down. This message highlights the importance of integrity, confession, forgiveness, and perseverance while looking to the examples of Daniel's faithfulness and the call to lay aside sin as we follow Christ. (Proverbs 10:9; Proverbs 10:12; Proverbs 28:13; Daniel 1:8; Hebrews 12:1-2)4. Stay ReadyWise leaders remain alert, self-controlled, and prepared for whatever lies ahead. Proverbs and the New Testament warn against anything that clouds judgment while encouraging believers to live under the control of the Holy Spirit with spiritual vigilance. (Proverbs 20:1; Proverbs 31:4-5; Ephesians 5:18; 1 Peter 5:8)Preparing wisely is not about controlling the future but about faithfully following God's wisdom today. As we trust His direction and apply His Word, He equips us to walk confidently wherever He leads.26.0628der Helping you apply God's Word and follow Jesus in everyday life.
