Answering the Call

How do you recognize God's voice, and what does it take to say "yes" when He calls you into something new?In this sermon on 2 Peter 1:5–11, Executive Pastor Wade Burgess explores the true nature of a divine calling. Reflecting on his own transition into church leadership, Wade unpacks three key dimensions of a call: relational connection, the fusion of who we are with who we are becoming, and responding to God's commanding summons.
