Pastor Lindsey discusses the transformative impact of the Holy Spirit on decision-making and trusting God's guidance in our lives.

Podcast Episode Description What happens when we stop trying to be the deciding factor of our own lives? In this Pentecost message, Pastor Lindsey explores the transition from Acts 1 to Acts 2 and how the coming of the Holy Spirit changed the way God's people discern His will. Before Pentecost, the disciples cast lots to make important decisions, trusting God to guide the outcome. But after the Holy Spirit was poured out, we never see them return to that practice. Why? Because they were no longer relying on chance—they were being led by the Spirit. Drawing from Genesis 1, we also discover the rich Hebrew meaning of tov ("good").

We are most "good" when our lives are aligned with the intentions of our Creator. Through Scripture, personal stories, and practical examples, this sermon challenges us to lay down our need for control, stop "casting lots" with our own plans and preferences, and trust the Lord to direct our paths.
