Purpose and Calling

Seven days with people God called and with New Testament teaching about good works. These passages shape Christian purpose without promising a private prediction about career or circumstance.

  1. Reading 1

    You Have Searched Me and Known MePsalm 139:1–24

    Before we ask what we're here for, start here: you were made on purpose, by a God who has known you all along.

  2. Reading 2

    Moses at the Burning BushExodus 3:1–22

    The Call of JeremiahJeremiah 1:1–19

    Jeremiah felt too young for the task, but God said He had appointed Jeremiah as a prophet before his birth.

  4. Reading 4

    Isaiah’s CommissionIsaiah 6:1–13

    When Isaiah saw how holy God is, his answer became simple: "Here am I. Send me" — purpose grows out of worship.
