Could It Get Any Clearer?

This sermon...
Blessed to be a Blessing from John Mark Comer this past week at Solid Rock

And this sermon...
Answering an Uncomfortable Call from our pastor Mike Penninga a couple of weeks ago

And this book...
Holy Discontent by Bill Hybels which I finished a few weeks ago

...Are rocking my world!
It started with the book and a leadership conference.  I have praying about and exploring what the discontent or discontents the Lord has placed in me for Kingdom purposes.  I have been seeking out what it could be He's calling me to.

Then I hear the sermon from Mike asking the big question.  What happens when God places an uncomfortable call on your life?  What happens when saying yes to God is costly?  Are you willing to take on the greatest joy, and the deepest heartache to follow God's call on your life?

Then as I sit comfortable in my little office chair, fluffy snow falling to the ground, I listen to John Mark's sermon.  You are blessed to be a blessing.  What blessings has He given you and WHY?  What could He be calling you to?

Instance after instance build on these same questions that stir more in my heart and have me asking "What in the world is God stirring me for and what is He calling me to?"

Seriously.  If you get the chance.  Listen to at least one, no, both, of these sermons.  Get your hands on Bill Hybels book.  Trust me.  If you allow Him, you are not going to be the same.
