Answering the Call

Introduction:

1. Throughout Bible history God has chosen individuals to do His work. To perform His tasks.

2. When He does this He doesn’t ask for resumes. He doesn’t ask how prepared you think you are. He doesn’t care about perceived obstacles.

3. He just says to get it done.

4. If God has called you (and he has) what provision has God given to make up for all of our perceived deficiencies?

DISCUSSION:

I. Help from the Brethren

1. For Moses it was someone to help him speak, Exod. 4:14.

2. We all need help from time to time. On big tasks it takes much help.

3. Paul paired up. Cf. Ltd commission, etc.

II. Help From God, He Will Be With You.

1. Matt. 28:20.

2. Josh. 1:5

3. 2 Tim. 4:17

4. 2 Kings 6:17

III. Help From God, God Answers Your Prayers

1. Matt. 21:22

2. Matt. 7:7-11

Conclusion: Answering the Call.

1. Who will go? Send me, Isa. 6:8

2. You might be thinking:

2) I might fail.

3) I might foul it up.

3. Because of God’s provision you can say, “Send me.”
