Doing the work of the Lord always requires you to walk by faith. No matter how much you try to get around that reality, that will always be the case. If you must have all the resources at hand before you begin a work for God, you will never get started.

The mission and work of the church is God’s mandate. Because of that we can trust Him to be faithful whenever we embark upon some aspect of the work of the ministry.

For instance, God called Moses to lead the people to build Him a sanctuary in the wilderness (Ex. 25:8).  This was unfamiliar territory for Moses. He had no idea how to do what God was calling him to do. But we don’t need to know how to do what God has called us to do. We just need to know what God has called us to do.

God gave Moses the plan for how to build the sanctuary and how it was supposed to look (verse 9). He gifted the people to do all the meticulous work (Ex. 31:2-6). And He touched the hearts of the people to give more than enough to fund the work He had called Moses to do (Ex. 36:3-7).

The same thing is true for us today. God can call us to do things that we feel ill-equipped to do. He tends to call us to do things that are bigger than we are because He is a big God. But equally important, God is faithful to supply the needs for whatever He calls us to do. We are simply tools for God to use. And when He calls us to a work, He is faithful to supply the needs to do the work.

What has been said above is not limited to those who are called to pastoring or church leadership. The premise is that God will call all of us to a work. He has gifted every one of us who is in Christ with the ability to do work for the Kingdom. The purpose of this message is to challenge and stir believers to have a big heart for God.
