Raising the Bar

In "Raising The Bar," we explore the profound message of striving for greater spiritual heights through three distinct callings:

A High Calling:

Scripture: Philippians 3:14

Message: We press towards the mark for the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. This call challenges us to aim higher and seek God's purpose with determination and discipline, just as athletes do for a perishable crown (1 Corinthians 9:25).

A Hard Calling:

Scripture: 2 Kings 2:9-10

Message: Elisha's request for a double portion of Elijah's spirit highlights the difficulty of following a high calling. It requires unwavering determination, resilience against discouragement, and the relentless desire of an Olympian.

A Humble Calling:

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24, Hebrews 11:35

Message: True greatness in God's kingdom comes from humility. Just as runners race for the prize, we must pursue our spiritual race with the same vigor. Hebrews 11:35 reminds us that faith sometimes involves great sacrifices, but it ultimately leads to a better life.

By embracing these callings, we can raise the bar in our spiritual lives, striving for excellence, perseverance, and humility in our walk with God.
