genesis: when God calls

God has a unique plan for all of our lives. And yet, for many of us, that calling may remain unrealized. The calling requires sacrifice and surrender. The calling goes against our culture and our comfort. Abraham answered the call that God placed in his heart, and from one man God created a great nation. When God calls, what is your answer?

Small group questions

1. What right do you have to do what God has called you to do?  If your credentials for God's call are obedience and submission, are you credentialed?
   
   
2. Where are you currently investing in a "great nation" to come after you?  Where are you giving of yourself toward people that you won't meet and ideas that you won't witness?
   
   
3. Is there one step you can take to improve the focus of your effort in building a legacy?  On what grounds will your "great name" stand?
   
   
4. How do you interact with those who "bless" your call and those who "curse" your call?  How can you improve?
