The Hope of our Calling

University Church of Eugene Sermons

We dive into Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1, where he urges believers to grasp the hope of their calling—rooted not in mere duty, but in a deep, Spirit-given knowledge of Jesus. Last week, we talked about the fivefold ministry and how it equips every believer for mission, but today, we focus on how understanding our calling begins with knowing Christ and the grace He’s poured out on us.

We’ll look at how our identity in Christ transforms the way we live each day, empowering us to serve Him and others with passion and purpose. Our calling isn’t about grand gestures or heroic missions alone; it’s about small acts of faithfulness, each one a step towards living out our unique God-given purpose.

So, what is God calling you to do today? How can we, as a community, support each other in pursuing our individual and shared missions? Join us as we pray for wisdom, grow in our gifts, and commit to walking in a manner worthy of the calling we’ve received. Whether you’re just discovering your purpose or seeking to deepen it, this episode will challenge and inspire you to live for Christ with courage and clarity.
