God’s Calling Won’t Spare You the Hardship
from The NorthWord · host Fr. Aaron Solberg / Northword
We want to hear from You! Send us a Text! If God called you, why is it so hard?Father Aaron preaches from Isaiah 51, Psalm 138, and Matthew 16 at St. John’s, Fort Smith. Isaiah says to look back at the quarry you were dug from — the ugly ground, the broken rock. The gospel says here is the rock you’re building on now. Between those two rocks sits the question most of us are quietly asking: if the calling is real, why the roadblock?Along the way: Abraham alone and Sarah barren, Joseph telling his brothers “you meant evil against me,” and what King David actually prays in the middle of trouble — which is not what you and I pray.Recorded live. Full sermon, with Father Aaron’s introduction.Support the show
