Here is a conviction I've held for a long time: every Christian, at some point in their life, should properly test whether God might be calling them into vocational ministry. You should not assume you know the answer. Actually test the question.What does that look like? An internship. A traineeship....

When God is Too Gracious
Jonah 4

08/04/2026

Over the next four weeks at Clifton Hill, our sermons explore Acts 16–17, which tells of the Apostle Paul bringing the gospel into cities shaped by many gods, competing truths, and spiritual confusion. He faced opposition, curiosity, and also surprising openness. This is a missionary adventure story that has scenes in prison cells, public debates, and the marketplace of ideas. And it is also a story of Paul’s unshaken faith grounded in the risen Jesus rather than cultural approval or comfort. This series will challenge us to discover how, today, we can stand up with confidence, speak with wisdom, and live faithfully in a culture just as plural and searching as Paul’s.
