Calling and Mission

Pastor Bill Bush · Feb 26, 2026

Drawing from Nehemiah chapter 1, Pastor Bill teaches that every believer has been called to a mission, not merely to attend church. True spiritual grit — the perseverance to stick to that calling when it gets hard, scary, or costly — starts with three movements: defining reality from God's perspective (understanding who God is and who He says you are), dreaming the preferred future (imagining what faithful obedience could look like), and developing the pathway (taking the costly step from comfortable to called, just as Nehemiah risked his prestigious position to pursue God's mission).
