CaleClub Gathering Last Night


Last night was an awesome night of reflection on God's call for our lives. We kicked off with some chilling out with a george foreman grill and a whole load of chicken, and then moved into the worship area.

We looked together at Ephesians 4:1-16, particularly verse 1. which says; "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."

Tim taught that in order to live a life worthy, we need to get a bigger picture of what 'our calling' is, and so we talk a short walk through the first couple of chapters of Ephesians.

Chapter 1, verse 4 says we were individually chosen by God himself before anything else was created!
Ch.1:5 says were adopted as God's own children, which means we are heirs or all things in the universe!
1:7 says that although we messed up and mess up, God himself died on a cross in Jesus to forgive us, and set us back right with God!
1:13 says that God himself, in the Holy Spirit has come to live inside us... all the fullness of God has sealed us!
2:7 says that God has promised us such joy and riches in heaven that its going to take hm all of eternity to give us!
Finally 3:10 says that all the full wisdom of God is going to be revealed to the world, and even to the heavenly places... though us!

So our calling is chosen, adopted, redeemed, sealed, eternal, and used by God to show himself to the world!


We spent time responding to this through singing, writing, meditating, encouraging each other and praying at prayer stations.
