 | Summer Sermon Series: The Call of God |
About the Series
Senior Pastor David Carr will be preaching on six call stories from the Bible during June and July, beginning Sunday June 10th. These particular stories were selected because they are each about God leading or calling people to do something - leave home, lead revolutions, take risks, change jobs, change sides, have a baby, etc.
There are many stories like this in the Bible, but these were selected because they involve different people at different stages in their lives: older people, children, teenagers, men, women, couples. Also, the way that the people in the stories experience God’s leading or call are different in interesting ways. |
The Calling of God
The questions we are inviting you to ask yourself over these two months are:
- Does God still call us today?
- Does God still lead and call people to do things, to take certain paths in our lives, to live in certain directions?
If God does indeed call us, then knowing what God is leading or calling us to do is a pretty big deal. On the other hand, thinking God is leading or calling us to do something if God is not - could be anything from wacky to delusional.
Pastor Carr's goal in these sermons is to pay attention to these particular six stories from the Bible, to try to read them as though we were reading them for the first time, and to see what we might learn about this idea of God leading or calling people.
