Less is More: God's Calling is More Than Enough

Ministry calling

-Focused on career and family

-Ignored giftings

-Insecure now

-God is equipping

We all want to know our calling in life

Do you know God’s calling on your life?

God has an assignment for each of his children

An assignment that will bring Him glory in your own unique way

1 Corinthians 7:17

Persevere in Place

Know God’s call and walk in obedience

could be a career

just a general call as a Christian

Called to be a Christian

Remaining faithful God vs seeking external validation/change

Worldly signs of success

Judges 6:1-11

Exodus

repetitive cycle of disobedience and idolatry

even after God delivered them from slavery

The Israelites were not content with their circumstances and seeked external validation

Judges 6:11-24

God raised up Gideon

He was a part of the least significant clan

He was the least important in his family

Angel greets him as a “mighty Hero”

God’s call supersedes every social standing and situation

even if it doesnt make sense from our perspective

God called Gideon a mighty hero

he was called to greatness even though his circumstances didn't make sense alongside God’s call

Peace in promise

Gideon transforms from timidity to embracing God’s identity from divine reassurance

God does not abandon his assignments

The peace offered to Gideon is a promise to all who respond to God’s call with faith

Jeremiah 1:4-8

Jeremiah’s calling still holds true today

We may not be called to be prophets to nations, but we all known by God before we were formed in our mother’s womb.

God deeply knows you and cares for you

He knows your skills

He knows your personality

He knows your future better than you do

Jeremiah felt inadequate, just like I have

God equips those who he calls

You will never miss God’s calling on your life if you are looking for it
