Today’s sermon and worship theme explores the courage it takes to say “yes” to God’s call, especially when that call brings misunderstanding, rejection, or personal sacrifice. Drawing from the stories of the prophet Jeremiah—who was called to speak hard truths no one wanted to hear—and Mary, the mother of Jesus—who risked shame and uncertainty to bear the Son of God—the message highlights how faithful obedience often means stepping into discomfort for the sake of something greater.
We are reminded that God doesn’t just call us to what is easy or popular, but to what is faithful and transformative. Like Jeremiah and Mary, we may be called to carry a message or mission the world resists, but when we say “yes,” we join a long line of courageous people who trusted that God’s purposes are worth the risk.
