Your Calling

"...lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God" Ephesians 4:1(NIV)

• Not just what you do but who you are
• Secondary calling, what we spend our time on like our job
• Primary calling for those that follow Christ is living life as Jesus wants us to live
• live out loving our neighbour and using our spiritual gifts to edify the church
• We should be most concerned with how we are living
• Value and worth are not necessarily tied to what our hands are doing, but to how I am living, serving the Church and following God

Discover What You are Called To Do

• Think about the things we are doing as secondary to how we are living our lives
• We can use our spiritual gifts in many ways as we learn how to build up the church and bless people
• Focus on your primary calling, serving, gifts

Favourite Verse

• Screen shot on your phone to practice memorizing scripture
• If you have anxiety and stress, focus scripture on trusting God and understanding
• God is not surprised by all that is happening
• He has an understanding that no-one can fathom

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom." Isaiah 40:28 (NIV)

 To those that are serving now

• The work that we are doing is really valuable
• Its reaching people and is important and is blessing people
• Look for opportunities to use their primary calling not just what you do
• Outside the church how are you operating in your primary calling?
• Be creative, think outside the box
• Serve in different ways or try new things
• Let's get excited about serving again!
