🧭 Are You Following God's GPS or Your Own Directions?

🗡️ This expository sermon was delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Cookeville, TN on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2:00 pm. 🗡️

Ever notice how GPS says "recalculating" when you ignore its directions? In this powerful sermon on Proverbs 2:20-22, discover why God's Word does the same thing in our lives—and what happens when we refuse to recalculate.

What You'll Learn in This Message:

Pastor Fortunato unpacks the critical difference between just walking with good people and actually keeping the paths of righteousness. This isn't about perfection—it's about direction. You'll discover why walking in God's way requires purposeful movement, not aimless wandering, and how the company you keep shapes your future more than you realize.

Learn the profound truth about dwelling versus visiting—why putting down spiritual roots matters more than ever in today's world. This message confronts the reality of Christian persecution with a premillennial perspective that will strengthen your faith and anchor your hope in Christ's return.

The Root System That Can't Be Shaken:

Are you rooted in temporal things or eternal things? When the storms come (and they will), where your roots go determines whether you stand or fall. This sermon reveals how being rooted and grounded in Christ creates a foundation so deep that nothing in this world can extract you from your Father's hand.

Discover why the millennial kingdom perspective changes everything about how we face opposition, navigate loss, and maintain hope while living in an increasingly hostile world. From the GPS metaphor to the powerful tree-puller illustration, these biblical truths will challenge you to examine where your roots truly lie.

Perfect for:

✓ Anyone struggling to stay on God's path

✓ Christians facing persecution or discrimination for their faith

✓ Believers seeking deeper community and accountability

✓ Parents teaching their children to follow Christ

✓ Anyone wanting to understand biblical prophecy and Christ's return

💪 Stop just visiting church—start dwelling. Stop just walking—start keeping the paths of righteousness.
