God Chooses Our Calling

November 7, 2025
Dr. John Neufeld

Many think of “vocation” as their job, but the word means “calling.” It points to the fact that God has a calling for each of us. It may entail the place of our employment, but it is much more. God had a calling upon David to be King.  It wasn’t obvious to his family and not even Samuel. Yet, we measure externals and God looks at the heart. Dr. John uses the early life of David as a template for us all. God has a purpose for us and that purpose surfaces as we yield to God from the heart.

    Learning Courage

    The story of David and Goliath is widely known. We learn it in Sunday School. We hear it referred to in our culture. Still, the lesson of the story gets distorted. Many assume that the story is an encouragement for us to successfully fight our “giants” but Dr. John points out that victory is not ours to win. Victory comes from a higher source than our own efforts. David remembered God’s promise and recognized His presence.  The battle is God’s to win!

    Learning to Fight in Your Own Armour

    Chances are, every time you consider the story of David and Goliath, you put yourself in David’s sandals. We all wonder what it would be like to face the giant! But in this message, Dr. John invites us to a different perspective. The question is not, “How would I face my giant?” but rather, “Who is my Champion?” Who is fighting for us? We will find that even as David proved to be the champion of Israel, Jesus is the Champion of us all.
