When God called Moses to go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt, he made himself available and responded to God’s call despite his reservations. But for many, they may be available, yet they fail to answer God’s call.

So, what happens when we fail to answer God’s call?

When we fail to answer God’s call, we often miss the purpose and blessing He has intended for us. Jonah ran from God and ended up in a storm he created himself (Jonah 1:4). Delayed obedience causes spiritual impatience. James 4:17 warns, “If anyone knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin.” Still, even when we hesitate, God, in His mercy, continues to invite us back. Like Peter, who failed but was restored, we too can return and be used by God.

The good news is this: God’s call isn’t to burden us but to bless us. When we answer, He empowers us, saying, as He said to Moses, “I will be with you.”

Take a moment to think about your typical day. What kinds of thoughts tend to dominate your mind? Where do these thoughts primarily come from (media, relationships, work, some other source)? How might these thoughts be shaping who you are becoming?

Session 3: The Pattern Of Offense: Ephesians 4:26-27 and 30–32.

Critical Question For Consideration: Page 49 #4                                               

The Bible instructs us to pause before responding to an offense. We pause when we feel offended and ask two critical questions: “Where is this anger coming from?” and “What would it be like to be the other person?” Think of a recent time when you reacted in anger because of an offense. How might this approach have changed the outcome?

One of the objections people often raise about starting their day with a quiet time before God is that they are too busy and have numerous tasks to attend to.   

“Glitter or Godliness? Living Faithfully in a New Gilded Age"

Amos warned Israel about being dazzled by wealth while ignoring justice… and wow, doesn’t that sound like today? From tech billionaires to luxury living, glitter can blind us. But God is calling us higher. 🙌

Here are the takeaways:
👉 Don’t be fooled by glitter—choose godliness.
 👉 Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by standing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters.
 👉 Walk the path God calls us to: give generously, pursue justice, and set your mind on eternal things.

At the end of the day, glitter fades—but God’s love and justice remain forever. 💜
