Call and Response

God calls each of us to be His messenger to others.  Even if we feel most inadequate for such responsibility, God equips us with the words and actions to live out the example of Jesus Christ.  The accounts of Isaiah, Paul, and Peter illustrate how God uses a person’s particular gifts and talents to express His love for the world. When God calls, respond as Isaiah did: “Here am I!  Send me!”
