The Call, The Fall, & The Renewal

Just with Aaron and Moses, Aaron might have been the, you know, the redheaded stepchild of the family, but he was not called to be Moses. He was called for God's purpose to be Aaron. No one else. God didn't need another Moses. He needed an Aaron. And it's the same for all of you here. God doesn't need someone else. I wrote a song probably thirty years ago called Heaps of Someone Else. I'm not gonna sing it by the way. I'm just and the lyrics went like this, nobody's perfect, so don't put that on yourself. He made the way you are, not to be like someone else. He's got a plan for you even though it's sometimes hard to tell, so don't change who he made. God has heaps of someone else. [00:28:29] (46 seconds)  #BeYouNotSomeoneElse

in God's kingdom, it works like this. Do do you believe in Jesus? Yes. You're a follower of the king, and then your vocation is a hairstylist. Your call is just to represent God and be obedient to him. I'm not a I'm not a Christian chaplain per se. I'm a follower of Jesus who is a chaplain. If you're a plumber and a Christian, you're a Christian who is then a plumber. We stand up and represent god wherever we're at. That's our call. So Aaron was called by god and how god used him was the important part. It wasn't that he wasn't Moses. Had nothing to and it wasn't that Moses wasn't Aaron or one was better or one was less. It's not the point. [00:16:09] (39 seconds)  #VocationalCalling

God is ongoing with our redemption in the sense that we sin every day and we need to receive forgiveness every single day. And if right now you're in a place that you feel stuck in that fall, overwhelmed by sin, maybe there's something hidden that you think that no one's ever noticing. I know many people say, I'm a functioning addict. Really, as if no one can tell. At the very least, God can tell. Our sins aren't hidden from them. Jesus ramps it up and he says, scripture says this, but I tell you if you sin in your heart, you're already sinning. So I just encourage you to be very real right now. If you wanna know your purpose for God going forward, get this little bit right now. Let him get you through the fall. [00:29:33] (53 seconds)  #DailyForgiveness

Exodus thirty two twenty two to 23. And he says, do not be angry, my lord, Aaron answered. You know how prone these people are to evil. They said to me, make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us out of Egypt, we don't know what's happened to him. So I told them, who hasn't ever has any jewelry? Take it off. And they gave me the gold, and I just threw it into the fire and out came a golden calf. Now if that's not the world's biggest cop out, I don't know. [00:10:26] (31 seconds)  #GoldenCalfExcuse
