| 1/20/2013 | Follow Me - Two Words that Changed the World We are seeing a rage for "calling" today, but much of the discussion is shallow, confused, and commercialized. This sermon looks at one of the crucial biblical passages behind the doctrine. Christ's call is primarily to Himself and secondarily to our occupational work in the world. Calling is to serve, to be a steward, to be entreprenurial, and to accountability. |
