Rescued, Part 1: Foundation
Christians are called by God, which means that our participation or presence has been officially requested by Him. We are called from death to life, called into His service, called to be mutually encouraging of each other, and called to live by faith.

- Paul referred to himself and the believers in Rome as “called” by God. How did the discussion on being called speak to you about yourself?
- What does being “called” mean to you regarding your future journey in Christ? How does your perspective on authority impact your consideration of being called?
- Paul was looking forward to the “mutual encouragement” to come in his relationship with the believers in Rome. In what ways have you been encouraged by other believers?
- How do you feel God may be calling you to be part of contributing to the encouragement of others?
