This course is a textbook study of The Call by Dr. Ray Self.
When God calls you, it is like a phone that rings continuously, 24 hours a day. The feeling and burden never leave you until you answer. However, once you submit to the Lord's ministry call, there are many crucial things you need to know, regardless of the type of ministry you are called to. This book will help you jump-start your incredible journey as a minister of Jesus Christ. You will learn vital topics such as determining your unique call, preparing a sermon, and delivering it effectively. This book covers Christian counseling, financing your ministry, writing a vision, how to be led by the Holy Spirit, and more crucial topics for anyone called to the ministry.
When you receive a call from God, preparation and equipping are essential. The Call aims to prepare you for ministry and guide you through what to expect and how to be ready as you pursue God’s purpose. Although we may pursue various types of ministries and receive different calls from God, the ministry is essentially the same for all of us, as Jesus is our Messiah, teacher, and example.
