9/27/2026: Churchy Words: CALLING

Have you ever wondered whether you missed your calling? Many of us think “calling” is meant for pastors, missionaries, or people with dramatic burning-bush stories. We imagine one perfect plan for our lives and worry we’ll never find it or that we’ve already gotten it wrong. In this week’s installment of our Churchy Words series, we explore a word that carries a lot of baggage and discover that calling starts with a simple truth: if there’s a calling, there’s a Caller.

Drawing on Jeremiah’s letter to exiles in Babylon and Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, written from prison, this sermon looks at how God calls us in the middle of uncertain, unchosen, and even painful seasons. It speaks to anyone asking “How did I get here?” or “What comes next?”, whether you’re starting out, changing course, or retired. God’s call isn’t a blueprint to solve. It’s an invitation to live faithfully right where we are, to seek the good of our neighbors, and to walk together as a community. Join us to hear why the most important question may not be what God wants you to do, but who God is calling you to be.
