We've all wondered it: Does God have a special assignment for me, and if so, how do I know if I'm actually accomplishing it? The Bible doesn't record Nehemiah ever receiving a prophetic dream or vision from God, and yet, he has a divinely placed burden that moves him to act. In this week's message from Nehemiah 2, Pastor J.D. shows us how to narrow down what God might be calling us to do for his kingdom. Not everything that comes from heaven has your name on it, but something does.

Time and again, we've seen that God moves through ordinary acts of obedience; we simply have to join him in the work he's already doing. In this week’s message from Acts 8, Pastor John takes us through the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch. What set Philip apart as someone used by God? He wasn't an apostle, after all. He wasn't flashy or even particularly impressive. But he was a faithful servant, and his obedience to God was immediate. Could the same be said of you?

The Bible is full of stories of God using ordinary people to do amazing things by putting his vision into them, and the book of Nehemiah is no exception. In this week's message from Nehemiah 1, Pastor J.D. gives us helpful principles for discerning God's call on our own lives. The truth is, Nehemiah wasn't someone of particular privilege or position; he had simply heard from God and was burdened to act. And when he did, God used him to change history. How might he choose to use you?
