Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 15:11. Sermon end time: 36:20.
The preacher defines vocation as a call by God to the service of God. He argues that the contemporary understanding, which reduces vocation to a self-centered choice of profession, only brings despair and disappointment. The preacher calls for a life submitted to the great purpose of God. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “Call, biblical call, is a process of having yourself referred to the workings of God before you decide and choose where to go next.”
