S8E38: God’s Calling (God With Us pt. 1)

Sermon #426

We are starting a new series for the season of Epiphany called "God With Us."  Jesus is God with us.  Isaiah foretold his birth of a virgin and said that he would be called Emmanuel, which means "God With Us."  So for the next five weeks we will be looking at how God interacts with his creation, and specifically with his people who are made in his image.  

This week we ask the question, where were you when God called you?  God calls each of us uniquely and individually, because we are all individually unique.  God meets us right where we are and reveals to us what we need to believe in him.  We see this today in the telling of the calling of Nathanael, who initially does not believe that any good thing can come from Nazareth, but ultimately proclaims that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.
