What is God’s calling?

Seeking a healthy understanding of vocation

Sep 07, 2024

Are you called to ministry? What does ‘being called by God’ mean? How do you know if you are called? Can a call ever change? What does the Bible have to say about these questions?

In this joint symposium hosted by the Samurai Projects and Christ Bible Seminary, faculty members of CBS addressed the vital topic of the call of God to ministry. Christian ministry is hard, and every year some leave their ministries. In this context, it is important to have clear teaching from Scripture about the nature of God’s call and how it is experienced in practice.

If you are interested in the possibility of vocational Christian ministry (at whatever stage of life) or you are already in Christian ministry and looking to raise up a new generation of workers, these videos are for you!
