Answer the Call

Answer the Call More often than not, when we study today’s verses the focus rests on the promise of “immeasurably more.” This is not wrong; God has already done more than we could ask for or imagine in our lives through Jesus, and He continues to do so even today. But Paul’s message doesn’t stop there. He reminds us that the purpose of the church is to worship and glorify God. Paul called us to participate in this great task: to make God known among the world and to celebrate Him forever. Paul invited us to glorify God through the church because the church is the primary agent for proclaiming God’s fame to the world. How are you contributing to the glory of God through your church? Paul called all generations to serve in this way, which definitely includes us. Today, rejoice in the One who has already accomplished the impossible for us. Devote your gifts and talents, whatever they may be, to His glory, and respond to His grace by lifting up His name with your local church.
