Suggested Bible Readings
As you consider your calling, sift the scriptures – they are full of people hearing or struggling to hear God’s call – which often comes to the most unlikely people, in the most unexpected ways!
Suggestions for exploring your calling through Bible study…
The Gospels: why not take a gospel and explore how Jesus discerned his call and how others heard or didn’t hear his call for them?
