Called to More: Discovering Your Vocation in Everyday Work

This sermon explores the distinction between a job, a career, and a vocation, challenging believers to see their everyday work as a divine calling rather than a secular obligation. Drawing on the Latin root of the word "vocation" (vocare, meaning to call or summon), the sermon argues that God has uniquely gifted and positioned every believer to serve others through their work. Referencing the theological contributions of Martin Luther and the insights of Tim Keller, the message dismantles the sacred-secular divide and affirms that all honest work, from farming to nursing to parenting, carries equal dignity and spiritual purpose. The sermon calls believers to move beyond self-centered career advancement and toward a vocation shaped by affinity, ability, and opportunity, where who God made you to be meets the needs God has placed around you.
