Who Was Called in Scripture?
What does being created in His image mean for us?
As we discussed in the previous video, “calling is a charge from God, firstly to Himself and secondly to His mission shared by the church and accomplished through specific gifting in individuals.” In this video we will look at those called in Scripture and the principles we can draw from their lives and calling. These principles of calling will shape us and our learning in this course.
What similarities are in the stories of Abraham, Moses, and Paul in relation to calling?

Have you experienced in any of these components of calling?
You may not be called for the same purpose in God’s mission as Abraham, Moses, Paul, or your pastor. But God has called you to participate in God’s mission in some way and he will find a way to communicate this to you. Maybe this communication is clear, observable, and direct. Maybe it is more subtle, foundational, or nuanced. Either way, God has crowned you with honour by making you in His Image and he longs to share His mission and rule with you.
Where do you see God sharing his rule with you in creation?

1.3 Who Was Called in Scripture?
-
Through healing, through worship, through devotions, through scripture. Through my students I work with who have autism, developmental delay, god has helped be bring joy to the children, god has given me patience, faith that when the hard days happened god will be there for me to be strong for the children I work with when they are having a hard time dealing with situations.

God has showed up over and over again by calling me to him, as we often say through that still small voice. I felt him say to me a few years back, if you’re willing to give up “this” in your life and really follow me I have so much more in store for you. And its been a slow journey of him walking me through my personal short-comings and walking in the flesh, and striving in my own strength and Him teaching me TRUE reliance on him. I don’t yet know exactly what he has in store for me, but I know he has called us all to spread the Gospel (be it worldwide as some are called to, or by being available for his prompts locally). I also believe he is prompting me to further biblical studies to build a firm foundation and deeper knowledge of scripture, that I may not be swayed or moved by the difficult questions posed by those in the world. 1 step at a time he lights our path.
