Following Christ . . . starts with answering His call. What could He be calling you to do? Monday/Today on Discover the Word, Mart DeHaan, Elisa Morgan, Bill Crowder, and Daniel Ryan Day look at what it means to be “called,” how Jesus called the first disciples . . . and what the implications are for our lives today.
Series Calling To And From
In the gospel accounts of Jesus calling his first disciples and then others to follow, we see a pattern of both being called to certain things as well as being called from other things. In a two-week series, “Calling: To and From,” we’ll dig into both directions of responding to Jesus’ invitation. In week one, we’ll look at what Jesus is calling us to: to come, to follow, to see, to find, and ultimately, to himself. Though each “to” might be seen as an individual action, we’ll discover that the call to Jesus is a layered response that continues throughout our lifetimes as disciples. Then in week two, we’ll consider just what we might be called from – what we might need to leave - in order to respond. We’ll consider how we might be called from an old way of life, self-sufficiency, people dependency, excuses and ultimately, everything.
