Studies have shown how important it is for human beings to have a sense of belonging, to have a community that they feel like they're a part of. This makes sense because from the very beginning, God designed us for relationships. We're supposed to have connections with others; we're supposed to have a sense of community with each other, especially those of us who are followers of Jesus. But this need for connection goes beyond just an innate desire to have relationships with others. We are actually challenged by God to have connections, not just with Him, but with each other. It's not just a recommendation; it's a calling.
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.
