Live Sunday Worship // Concord Church 8:30am

Main message: When God interrupts your plans, He has uniquely prepared, chosen, and empowered you for a purpose — respond with urgency and obedience rather than delay. Paul’s conversion shows that God’s call is a privilege that can radically redirect your life for God’s glory.

Key points:

• Many of us delay because we underestimate how special and specific God’s call is, or we wait for more confirmation, resources, or approval.
• God “sets you apart” (even before birth), “calls you” by grace, and is pleased to reveal His Son in you — He also gives the power to carry out the call.
• Being called means you are a chosen instrument for God’s purposes; it’s a privilege, not merely an obligation.
• Immediate obedience matters: Paul immediately began the work God gave him and his obedience led others to glorify God.
• The call affects others (Ananias was sent to restore Paul’s sight) and often requires leaving comfort, reputation, or prior plans.
• Personal examples: Paul’s conversion (Saul → Paul, Acts 9; Galatians 1:13–17, 22–23; Acts 13:2) and the speaker’s anecdotes about a friend losing a job and personal hesitation to leave a comfort zone.

Scriptures mentioned: Galatians 1:13–17, Galatians 1:22–23, Acts 9, Acts 13:2
