The Call

Contributed by Gary Washburn on May 31, 2002

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Apr 3, 2006

I think we need to un-complicate the idea of being called, lest it become something people think they cannot attain or aspire to. We have all been called out...

I would say that one of the questions that people ask me most these days is this, “How can I know what my calling is?

Introduction I. In the gospel of John, chapter 3 and verse 30, speaking of Christ, John the Baptist will say, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” A.

Calling

Contributed by Mary G. on Dec 9, 2020

We can have whichever vocation we want if it is not sinful and is working wholeheartedly for God while walking in love (if we haven't already heard clearly from God regarding a path we need to be on). We are free in Christ.

We are free in Christ (Holy Bible, New International Version, 1973/2011, Galatians 5:11 ). We can have whichever vocation we ...read more
