Send Me

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”—Isaiah 6:8

If you Google the question, What is my calling?, you’ll receive approximately 3 billion results. Everyone from Forbes magazine to Oprah seems eager to weigh in on the subject. Clearly, our understanding of “calling” has become complicated and confused. For a Christian the question becomes even more important. What does the word “call” mean? How do I know if God is calling me? And what happens if I don’t feel ready or able to accept His call? This month, we will examine what the Bible teaches on the subject. Through this study, we pray that you will:

• Understand what Scripture says about calling
• Reflect on all the ways God has called you
• Reaffirm your own commitment to follow and answer God’s call
