Surrendered To The Savior Series

Is God Calling You?

Contributed by Ezekiel Ette on Jan 14, 2018

We all were called to serve God through the works of our hands and our intellect. No matter what we do, we are responding to our calling. God still calls each of us but we do not know how to receive God's message because we do not recognize the call.

The idea of calling or vocation outside of the priesthood is a protestant idea that came with the reformation. It was believed then, as at now, that we are called to different vocations in life and whatever we do is a result of our obedience to a divine plan. Therefore the carpenter was in service ...read more

Sensing God - Smell Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 18, 2018

This sermon is the last in a series which considers the five senses and how our senses help us in our relationship with God. In this message we see that we can be a pleasing aroma to God and the calling we have to be an aroma to the world.

You can be asleep and then, if someone loves you enough to make it for you, the smell is able to wake you up. This is fantastic. What a great way to ...read more
