Called to a Relationship with Jesus
Many of us have experienced what it's like to not be picked. We didn't get picked when choosing teams on the playground; the person we wanted to date chose someone else; the promotion we were hoping for went to a co-worker. It can be confusing and even hurtful to not be chosen. The good news is God has chosen each one of us to experience His grace. He has chosen each one of us to have the opportunity to be His child. But the question is...what do I do with that calling? How do I respond when I'm called to a relationship with Jesus?
Scripture References: Romans 12:5-6, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 3:16, Ephesians 4:1, Ephesians 2:4-5, John 15:4, Ezekiel 16:6, Hebrews 4:7, 1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 John 1:7
From Series: "Called"
There's a difference between having an assignment or a job description and having a calling. When I feel called to do something, I have a sense of urgency; there is something I feel compelled to do. I perceive a greater purpose and mission to whatever it is I feel called to do. Join us the next few weeks at Flagstone as we explore what it's like to be called by God for a specific purpose and what that calling should lead us to accomplish.

Red Flags - Relationship Warning Signs
"Red flags" serve as warning signs. A burger restaurant that serves "bargain sushi"? That's a red flag. A used car dealer that says, "This vehicle has only been in two previous accidents"? That's a red flag. But what about red flags in relationships? Whether it's in a friendship, a dating relationship, or a marriage, we need to pay attention to red flags that may be warning us that there is something unhealthy in our connection with that other person. What are some of the more common relationship red flags? And what are spiritually and emotionally healthy ways of dealing with those warning signs?
