We Are Called | Jeremiah 1 - Clint Leavitt

What do we do when things fall apart? The way we answer this question shows us the truth of who we are. We all look great when things are comfortable. It’s in the times of challenge, when the building is burning down around us, when all that we’ve held onto dissolves in our arms, that our true allegiance, our true character, our true identity get revealed. Listen as Pastor Clint opens our new series on Jeremiah - the wisdom of this book teaches us all about how we respond to the world when things fall apart. In Jeremiah 1, we learn the foundation of the book lies in a crucial reality: that Jeremiah, and we, are called amidst a place, personally, and for a purpose. Sermon Resources: 1.

Can we look up at its colossal good without once feeling acquiescence? Can we look up at its colossal evil without once feeling despair? Can we, in short, be at once not only a pessimist and an optimist, but a fanatical pessimist and a fanatical optimist?” -G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy 3. “Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life...all of our life.” -Henri Nouwen, Life of the Beloved Join or follow us below: Facebook: www.facebook.com/midtownpreschurch Instagram: www.instagram.com/midtown.pres/ Website: www.midtownpres.org/ Community Groups: www.midtownpres.org/community-groups Sunday Services: www.midtownpres.org/
