Different Calling in a Dark World
In this world, you’ll have struggles. You’ll face opposition. You’ll be challenged. And there’s a reason for that: THIS WORLD IS NOT YOUR HOME!
So answer hate with love, find joy in the midst of trials, and rely on a strength beyond yourself. You’re meant to be … Different.
This series is a study of the book of 1 Peter, and covers topics like how to respond to persecution and culture in a world that’s increasingly pulling away from God.

God is calling us as Jesus followers to be DIFFERENT from this world. One way we are different is that as believers we have been chose and have a calling.
What are you called to do in a dark world?
1. AN ETERNAL CALL TO CHRIST
We have a call to leave our own desires and devote our lies to follow Jesus.
2. A TEMPORARY CALL TO AN ASSIGNMENT
For a brief time in life you may have a call to be a student, a nurse or go on a missions trip.
3. A DAILY CALL TO A DIFFERENT STANDARD
God is more concerned with who you are than He is concerned with what you do.
When you know who you are, you’ll know what to do.
Your different daily calling is to represent Jesus to a skeptical world.
God promises to grant you His blessing when you fulfil the call God has given you.
