Called

Have you ever felt called to do something, but couldn't muster up enough courage to do it?  I have.  And I often ask myself, "Why do I have so much trouble following through with what God has called me to."  It often has to do with fear.  Fear of rejection or failure, or that I didn't really hear from God.

What would happen if every person who followed Christ actually acted upon every call that God had placed on them?  Could you imagine how the world, your world, your school and home, might be different?  But instead, we are often too worried about what others think and how we might fail.

This week we are going to be talking about Moses.  He was a guy that, like most of us, was afraid of the call that God placed in His life.  Yet God kept pursuing and calling him.  He didn't let Moses off the hook.

Here's the big question this week:  If you knew that you would be successful no matter what, as long as you were following God's call, would that be enough to answer the call?  I guess a follow up question would be, "What is success?"  Those are all things we will be discussing this week at VIBE.

Hope to see everyone there this week.  Remember, the Gathering Cafe opens at 5:15 central/slow, and VIBE kicks off at 5:45.  Don't be late!  You may miss an opportunity for a free Subway footlong!

Boom-shaka.
