In this sermon from Matthew 6, the focus is on understanding and living the will of God as a way to experience a taste of heaven on earth. The speaker begins by reflecting on a recent youth conference, emphasizing the importance of prayer and God's ability to speak to individuals even in seemingly insignificant moments.

The sermon primarily centers around Matthew 6:7-10, where Jesus teaches the model prayer, commonly known as the Lord's Prayer. The key verse examined is Matthew 6:10, "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." The speaker explains that in heaven, God's will is perfectly executed, and Jesus encourages us to pray for this same alignment on earth. By doing God's will, we can experience a piece of heaven during our earthly lives.

The message elaborates on the significance of the will of God, described as a perfect and complete gift from above (James 1:17-18). This gift is tailored to each individual's unique design and purpose, making it both good and perfect. The speaker encourages believers to view the will of God not as a burden but as a precious gift that brings the experience of heaven to earth.

The sermon also discusses the conditions for living in the will of God, highlighting the need for holiness and separation from worldly desires (1 John 2:15-17). Believers are urged not to love the world or its fleeting pleasures, as these are opposed to the Father's will. Instead, they should strive to live a life of sanctification and gratitude, as outlined in 1 Thessalonians 4:3 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18, which explicitly state that abstaining from fornication and giving thanks in everything are God's will.

Additionally, the speaker shares a personal testimony of being called to preach and the struggle of aligning with God's will. This story illustrates the internal conflict and eventual peace found in surrendering to God's plan.

The sermon concludes with an invitation for listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider areas where they might need to align more closely with God's will. Emphasizing the brevity and preciousness of time on earth, the speaker encourages everyone to embrace God's will to experience the fullness of His blessings and a foretaste of heaven.

Through a mix of personal anecdotes, scriptural references, and practical application, the sermon delivers a compelling message about the importance of seeking and living out God's will as a means to bring heaven to earth.
