A Christian Spirituality of Vocation

Discovering our vocation is a key element of discipleship. That's why I am excited to discuss this topic later this month in Klang. If you happen to be around, do join us at the worship service below:

Date: Sunday (30 Jan 2011)

Time: 11 am

Venue: Klang Presbyterian Church

I also hope to attend the event below by an eminently qualified professor Dr Scorgie who will speak on the topic: “A Christian Spirituality of Vocation” : The Gift of Purpose and Significance...

What is the significance of my life?

The modern way of life leaves this need largely unsatisfied…

But the good news is that the Christian faith offers something that satisfies this need for meaning. It is called the gift of Christian vocation. The word vocation comes from the biblical ideal of a calling upon one’s life—that is, a divine assignment or commission to do certain things, things that will matter for eternity. It is a calling to participate in the larger purposes of God.

But still the question: How do we discern our personal calling in life? How do we know where we fit in the grand scheme of things?

Come and find out more in a session with Dr Glen Scorgie at Canaanland, Ara Jaya!
