Scripture of the Week: Eph 4: 11-13

From the Sermon:

According to the grace given to you, will you remain faithful members of Christ’s holy church and serve as Christ’s _____________ in the world?

In order to enter into that mystery of _________ we need to have one ear to the ground to hear the rumble of opportunity and one ear to heaven to respond to the call of God on our lives.

None of those gifts or callings are more _________ than another.

Paul tells the followers in Ephesus that they are to live a life worthy of their calling.

Baptism is the ordination of the ______.

Reflection Questions:

How often do we slow down enough to listen to what God is saying?

Where does our call come from?

How are you listening for and responding to the call of God on your life?

Prayer:

Lord, we confess that sometimes we want to pretend like other people are called and we are not in order to let ourselves off of the hook. But, O Lord, we can no longer run from the truth that you are calling us for such a time as this. Open our hearts to hear your voice and to respond in a mighty way, we pray. Amen.
