The Call of God pt 4- The Gospel Courage " Acts 16:25-40
I am using readings from the 49 Week Bible Challenge as the basis for these devotions. I encourage you to join me in this discipline. Today's readings are Acts 13:20-21; 1 Samuel 3; 7; 8; 1 Chronicles 8.
This sermon explores the profound question: can I still experience God? Drawing from the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3:1-10, Pastor Roger Patterson teaches on the principles of God's call. He shares personal anecdotes, including his journey into ministry and his marriage, to illustrate how God gets our attention. This message is a powerful call to action for anyone who feels a stirring, a "pent-up energy," or a desire for something more. The Call of God: How God Gets Our Attention Join Pastor Roger Patterson as he unpacks five principles of God's call, using the biblical account of Moses. Just as William Wilberforce's purpose was captured by Christ, and Moses's assignment changed from shepherding sheep to leading a nation, God is calling people today. This sermon teaches you how to recognize and respond to God's specific call on your life. What You'll Learn: A Moment that Captures You: How God uses "open doors," frustration, or suffering as a megaphone to get our attention, just as he did with Moses at the burning bush. Your Availability: Understanding the significance of saying "Here I am" (Hineni) and how this word of surrender and readiness models faith before clarity. God's Revelation of His Character: The importance of understanding God's holiness and why a proper, reverent fear is a natural response to His presence. We'll also examine who gets to decide what is "good" and "evil" and why it matters. Learn God's Heart: The crucial period of preparation where we learn God's compassion for the afflicted and how to rightly handle the word of truth before we "get in the game." God's Clear, Specific Call: Discover how getting closer to God leads to a clearer, more specific purpose, and why a life submitted to His will is a powerful and focused one. Whether you're feeling a spiritual stirring or simply seeking guidance, this message will challenge you to be available and responsive to the personal, specific call God has for you. Scripture References: Exodus 3:1-10, Isaiah 5:20, Genesis 1, Genesis 2, Genesis 3, John 16:8, Isaiah 43:1, 2 Timothy 2:15, Proverbs 25:2, John 7:1-9, Mark 1:35-38, John 5:19, John 12:49 Key Topics: Calling, Purpose, Moses, Exodus, The Burning Bush, Ministry, Guidance, Holiness, Sin, Good vs. Evil, The Authority of Scripture, Discipleship, Christian Life.
In this message from The Life of Elijah, Pastor Daniel teaches from 1 Kings 19:19–21 about what happens when God calls and we respond. Elijah placed his mantle on Elisha, and in that moment Elisha left behind his oxen, burned his plows, and stepped into a new future with God.This story shows us that God shapes us in seasons of ordinary faithfulness and invites us into something greater than anything we could build on our own. When we hear His call, the right response is surrender. There is no turning back.If you're ready to take the next step in your faith or want to learn more about Liberty, please visithttps://libertylive.church/connect/.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Samuel's ministry grew more and more powerful with time, and the more Samuel did, the more he was blessed.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that God's calling on our lives can be overwhelming and challenging. But, it will also be compelling, as we walk in faith and in harmony with scripture.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God can speak to us through dreams, but with all things, it must be examined before an open Bible. His call on our lives will come at the right time, but we need to listen and be still before Him.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God loves to talk to us, and if we have no message from God, we must get one. If we have no direction, we must find one, and if we feel no protection from Him, we must trust Him.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that in order to know the call of God for our lives, we need to be still before Him, ready to listen. It's a personal thing. We can't really serve God without knowing Him personally.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that even though Samuel was still a young boy, he was already in the temple ministering before the Lord. Samuel knew opportunities would arise, and he was ready with passion and enthusiasm for the things of God.
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. [NKJV]

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Divine Interruption: Responding to the Call of God, Part 2 Series: Unveiled Scripture: Mark 1:1-20 Episode: 1409 If any of these questions resonate, this sermon speaks directly to you: What if the interruptions in my life are actually God trying to get my attention? How can I be sure I'm hearing God's call and not just chasing my own dreams? Why does it feel so hard to surrender my plans—what if God's way costs me too much? Is following Jesus really worth it if it means sacrifice or suffering along the way? How could my simple “yes” to God ripple out and change the lives of people around me? Bible Passage Summary: In Mark 1:1–20, the Gospel opens by declaring Jesus Christ as the Son of God and introduces John the Baptist, who prepares the way by calling people to repentance and baptism. John baptizes Jesus in the Jordan River, where the Holy Spirit descends like a dove, and God affirms Jesus as His beloved Son. Jesus is then led into the wilderness and tempted by Satan, yet remains without sin. After John is arrested, Jesus begins His public ministry, preaching the good news of the kingdom of God, calling people to repent and believe the gospel. He then calls His first disciples—Simon, Andrew, James, and John—inviting them to leave everything and follow Him to become fishers of men. Key themes include repentance, divine identity, spiritual authority, and the call to discipleship.
God is still calling people today—but not through a ringtone. In this message, we explore what it means to be called by God, how to recognize it, and why your availability matters more than your ability.

In this powerful exploration of Genesis 19, we delve into the sobering reality of God's judgment and its implications for our lives. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of unrestrained sin and rejection of God's moral order. However, this isn't just a tale of destruction – it's a call to examine our own lives and choices. Are we, like Lot, being pulled towards the allure of a fallen world? Or are we, like Abraham, standing in faith and interceding for others? The message challenges us to guard against the pull of worldly temptations and keep our eyes fixed on God's calling. Importantly, we're reminded that God's judgment isn't arbitrary, but a response to persistent unrepentance and a cry for justice from the oppressed. Yet, even in judgment, we see God's mercy – saving Lot for Abraham's sake, foreshadowing how we are saved through Christ's righteousness. This story urges us to take God's warnings seriously, but also to rest in His covenant promises and the redemption offered through Jesus.

In order to be fruitful for God, it is not enough to simply realize that we are called to service, nor even to discover what that call is. We must give God time to produce fruit through us, and that means we must learn to be consistent in what we do and persevere in doing it over the long haul. But realizing this truth is much easier than living it out. There are many forces that are both within us and outside us that undermine our best intentions. Today's lesson will look at the last of ten different forces which make it hard for us to endure in the areas of service to which God calls us.

In this powerful exploration of true wealth, we delve into the story of Abraham and Lot from Genesis 13. The central message challenges us to examine what we truly value in life. Are we, like Lot, chasing after material prosperity and comfort? Or are we, like Abraham, willing to trust God completely and build our lives on His promises? This teaching reminds us that our identity and emotional well-being should not be tied to our possessions or circumstances. Instead, we're called to find our worth and security in God alone. The parallels drawn between Abraham's choice and Jesus' temptation in the wilderness highlight the timeless struggle between worldly desires and spiritual faithfulness. As we reflect on this message, we're encouraged to 'keep answering the call of God' in our lives, regularly coming back to the altar of repentance and refusing to settle for anything less than God's best for us.
