Our Higher Calling:
A Life that Honors God!

Mike Fritscher, Pastor

Our Higher Calling:

  • A Life of Worship
  • A Life of Giving
  • A Life that is Connected
  • A Life that's Sent
  • A Life That Honors

A Life that Honors God! Romans 1:19-32

Matthew 15:7 "You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: 8'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

1. Always Believe God! 19-20

•  Faith Pleases God! Hebrews 11:1-6  

•  Faith Profits the One Who Believes!

Hebrews 4: 2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard. NASU

2. Always Thank Him! 22

Hebrews 13:15 Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Psalms 50:23 "He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who orders his way aright I shall show the salvation of God."

3. Worship Him Alone!

The Story of Leah – Genesis 29:15-35

Worship the creature and this is what you become! Verses 28-32

Psalm 4:2 O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach? How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? 3 But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself; The LORD hears when I call to Him.  

The Illustration of Three Hebrew Young Men! Daniel 3:1

2 Timothy 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
