After we have put our trust in God, we will be subject to his call throughout our lives to live out his purposes for us. Our calling will certainly be to serve in our local church for the welfare of all its members. In addition to that, God’s calling can and likely will involve being a “representative” in our community, as well as people we may come into contact with as God leads us. We will be looking at some Bible characters to understand how He might call us and at the same time were they prepared and willing to serve. As we look at each character, we will find that God had “direct” contact with them relative to His call, but with others He only had “indirect” contact. We will focus on how some responded without question, but others tried to find a way to not accept the call. As we look at these examples, we will try to apply it to our times and our lives today.
