Answer the Call

Theme

"Answer the Call" was written for my home church. The focus is on our response as a church to the great grace, mercy, and responsibilities to each other and the world. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be active participants in God's work, not passive observers.

Suggested Uses

• General corporate worship
• Recurring song in a sermon series about the church being alive and active, with one another and the world

Ephesians 4:1-4 (HSCB)

Therefore I, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, accepting one another in love, diligently keeping the unity of the Spirit with the peacethat binds us. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope at your calling.

Mark 8:34 (HSCB)

Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

Mark 12:29-31 (HSCB)

This is the most important,”Jesus answered: Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other command greater than these.”
