Uncommon Call

Uncommon Call

Finding your uncommon call is a process intended to inspire believers to embrace the unique purpose God has placed on their lives. Here are 4 directional points from the Bible:


1. Recognize That You Are Called - You weren’t made by accident, you were crafted with intention. “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” — Ephesians 2:10 Your calling may not look like anyone else’s, and that’s the point. Reflect on your passions, gifts, and burdens—they often point to your divine assignment.


2. Listen for God’s Direction - The uncommon call often requires uncommon listening. “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” — Isaiah 30:21 God speaks through Scripture, prayer, and even closed doors… Create space for silence and prayer to hear God’s guidance clearly.


3. Step Out in Faith, Not Fear - Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s obedience in spite of it. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 The path may be unfamiliar, but God equips those He calls. Take one bold step toward your calling, even if it feels risky.


4. Grow Where You’re Planted - Your current season is part of your preparation. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28 Even setbacks can shape you for your uncommon assignment. It’s time to grow regardless of your circumstances.


Today is a great time to start to embrace your present with God’s unique purpose for your life.


Amen?

Hope and Perspective by Pastor Ty In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” we see a great change in the character, George Bailey. What is different about George Bailey's life after Clarence (Angel) shows him what life would have been like without him? In terms of circumstances, absolutely nothing. At this point, for all he knows his life is exactly as it was a few hours before; Clarence did nothing to change that. The Bailey Building and Loan has still lost $8000- it could be forced to close and people could lose their life savings and jobs, rumors of embezzlement – the family ruined – George’s Arrest -Scandal! But George has changed! He has a new Attitude… a new Perspective on what’s really important Family, Friends and his Faith in God. It’s easy to forget in the movie that the real change has nothing to do with money and affection on Christmas Eve. The real change is within his soul. For the first time George Bailey is looking at life with new eyes. Same for a group of shepherds at the first Christmas – they had a change I attitude/perspective in Luke 2 the angels put on a celebration to announce the birth of Jesus. The shepherds went and found the baby Jesus. Their station in life had not changed but their attitude had: The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (V20) May this Christmas give us a new perspective and a vertical focus all year long.
