Week 2: The Call to Adventure (Abraham)
Week 2: The Call to Adventure (Abraham) God called Abraham to leave everything familiar and step into an unknown future. Through Abraham's journey, we learn that following God's call: - Often requires leaving our comfort zones - Doesn't demand perfect faith (Abraham had his struggles) - Develops our character along the way - Involves both challenges and blessings - Sometimes means waiting on God's timing - Ultimately leads to fulfilling God's purposes Like Abraham, we're each called to step beyond the familiar, trust God's guidance, and become who He's created us to be. Though the journey includes both victories and setbacks, God remains faithful to His promises and uses our obedience to bless others.

Week 3: The Call to Stand Out from Your Peers (Noah)

Week 4: The Call to Lead (Moses)
Week 4: The Call to Lead (Moses) God called an unlikely shepherd to become one of history's greatest leaders. Through Moses' story, we learn that true leadership flows not from our abilities but from God's presence. His journey teaches us that our past experiences—even our failures—uniquely prepare us to guide others. Whether leading many or mentoring one, we all have a role in sharing the wisdom God has given us.

Week 5: The Call to Patience (David)
Anointed as a teenager but not crowned until his thirties, David's journey to kingship teaches us profound lessons about waiting on God's timing. Through seasons of serving, running, and partial fulfillment, David learned that how we wait is as important as what we're waiting for. His story shows us that God uses waiting periods not just to test our patience, but to prepare us for His promises.

Week 6: The Call to Wisdom (Solomon)
Week 6: The Call to Wisdom (Solomon) When offered anything he desired, Solomon chose wisdom over wealth and power. Through his writings in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, we discover both practical wisdom for daily living and mature wisdom for life's complexities. Learn how to seek, apply, and grow in godly wisdom that transforms every area of life.

Week 7: The Call to Sacrifice (Cain and Abel)
Week 10: The Call to Sacrifice (Cain and Abel) The story of Cain and Abel reveals deep truths about different types of sacrifice - Cain's offering of life-sustaining food and Abel's offering of protective covering. Through their story, we learn about honest worship, managing our emotions, and experiencing God's justice and mercy. Discover what it means to offer yourself as a living sacrifice through both material surrender and authentic vulnerability.

Week 8: The Unexpected Call (Jonah)
Week 8: The Unexpected Call (Jonah) When God calls gentle Jonah to confront violent Nineveh, the story unfolds with surprising twists: a prophet fleeing God, pagan sailors finding faith, and enemies embracing divine mercy. Through Jonah's complex journey of resistance, repentance, and reluctant success, we discover how God works through (and sometimes despite) our limitations to extend His compassion to all people.

Week 9: The Call to Explore (Tower of Babel)
Week 9: The Call to Explore The Tower of Babel story reveals God's desire for humanity to discover and flourish across all creation. Rather than a tale of punishment, it shows God implementing His consistent command to "fill the earth." Through cultural diversity and exploration, we fulfill God's purpose for humanity to experience the full richness of His creation while building understanding between peoples.

Week 10: The Call to Transform (Jacob)
