Sermon Overview
Reidhead addresses the common confusion regarding God's direction, positing that many wait for a mystical "call" while ignoring the "leading" already provided in Scripture and by the indwelling Spirit. He suggests that the "call" is often the destination, but the "leading" is the step-by-step walk of obedience that prepares the believer for that destination.+1
Key Principles
Call vs. Leading:Pursue the daily "leading" of the Spirit as the primary way to eventually reach your "calling."
General Obedience:Prioritize obeying the clear commands of Scripture over waiting for a mystical assignment.
Leading via the Word:Look for God’s guidance primarily through the principles of the Bible rather than subjective signs.
Role of Common Sense:Trust that the Spirit often guides through a renewed mind and sanctified common sense.
Waiting without Stagnation: Continue doing the "next thing" God has commanded while waiting for a larger "call."
Preparation as Calling:View your current trials and small tasks as the "boot camp" for your future assignment.
Avoiding Professionalism: Reject the idea that "calling" is only for clergy; realize every believer is called to a mission.
Sovereignty over Path:Find peace in the fact that God is responsible for the "map" as long as you are walking.
