Takeaway Truth from Sunday’s message – Blessed are those who don’t know what they’re doing.
What stuck with you from Sunday’s teaching? Why? A beatitude is a statement declaring who it is that is ‘blessed’. How are people who don’t know what they’re doing be blessed in the Kingdom Jesus describes? What comes to your mind when you think of “God’s calling” in your life? Is it only about what you do, or are there other aspects of having a calling? Read Psalm 139:23 - “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.” Why is this such an important prayer as it relates to your calling? What role do others play in discerning your calling, or God’s will in general? Read Hebrews 11:8 - “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.” What do you think about the idea that your calling may include uncertainty? What would a church-community look like (what kinds of practices or postures) that was built around blessing those who ‘don’t know what they’re doing’? Are these things you can see at Vox? Can you think of ways we could move closer to this?
