Living Our Baptism :: 2/23/25 :: David Norris

Welcome to Wellspring Church!

What does it mean to be called by God? In this message, Pastor David Norris, Worship Pastor, unpacks how we often misunderstand “calling”—conflating it with career, success, and achievement—when in reality, our calling is first and foremost to Jesus Himself.

Looking at Mark 1 and Romans 1, we see that calling is not about discovering a hidden task we must complete. Instead, it is an invitation to live as Christ’s people, shaped by our baptism and grounded in His love.

📖 Key Themes in This Message:

🔹 Why we often confuse calling with career and achievement

🔹 The true meaning of being called—by Jesus, to Jesus, and for Jesus

🔹 The invitation to live out our baptism, free from the anxiety of worldly success

🔹 How practicing silence and solitude helps us hear God’s voice

The call of Jesus is not about striving—it is about belonging. We are not called because of what we can accomplish, but because we are loved. As we step into our calling, we do so not for our own gain, but for His glory.
