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

Trotting In To Save The Day Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 4, 2012

What image comes to mind when you think about a hero riding in to save the day? Jesus, our ultimate action hero, rides into Jerusalem to save the day for humanity, but not in the way you would imagine, not this time anyway.

Well, our ultimate action hero, Jesus, rides into Jerusalem all right—but on a tall white horse? ...read more

Responding To God’s Promises Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 21, 2022

Think back to the last time you had an “unanswered prayer.” How did you respond before God? Augustine’s mother may have been angry with God that her son went to Rome after she prayed he not go. For us, next time, let us remember David’s response.

She prayed earnestly that he might be prevented from going. Her reason being that she feared what effect the temptation of sin in the depravity of that big ...read more
