Hello: Three Calls in Faith Journey

Coffee and Devotions with Pastor April at Weasie's Kitchen in Waynesboro, VA

Review Abram's call story in Genesis 12 with the Practical Characteristics of God's Call Source: Unknown

1. Call is touching the reality of what is while envisioning what could be.

2. Call connects us to places of pain in the world and is often connected to the places of pain in ourselves.

3. Call is persistent.

4. Call uses the gifts we bring, evokes new gifts from within us and requires the gifts of others.

5. Call is impossible and, therefore, deepens our awareness of our utter dependence on God for whom all things are possible.

6. Call energizes, excites, and enlivens.

7. Call is confirmed in community.

8. Call is to be shared by community.

9. Call is costly.

10. Call evolves. And one call often competes with others authentic calls in our lives, requiring an often painful prioritizing of those calls.
