  <itunes:subtitle>God calls people who are willing to surrender.

In this sermon from Isaiah 6, we walk through Isaiah’s encounter with God and what it means to respond with, “Here am I. Send me.” This message explores God’s holiness, repentance, purpose, and the challenge of saying yes when God calls.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;God Calls, Our Role Is to Say Yes | Burnt Hickory Baptist Church&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Isaiah 6, Isaiah encounters the holiness of God and responds with complete surrender.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This sermon explores what happens when we see God clearly, recognize our need for Him, and step into the purpose He has for our lives. From salvation to kingdom service, this message reminds us that God is still calling people to trust Him, follow Him, and live fully devoted to Him.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key Insights:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How your view of God shapes the direction of your life and faith.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why surrender and obedience often begin before we know the outcome.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What Isaiah 6 teaches about repentance, forgiveness, and purpose.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How God calls imperfect people to serve His kingdom.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why hearing God’s voice starts with being willing to fully surrender to Him.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Scripture Focus: &lt;a href="https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ISA.6.ESV" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Isaiah 6:1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;God’s Faithfulness in Our Corinth Moment | The Gospel, The Kingdom, The World&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When Paul hit his limit in Corinth, God didn’t remove the difficulty—He stepped into it with presence and purpose. This message reminds us that even when we feel like giving up, God has not walked away. He has more people to reach and more He wants to do through your life. Listen in for encouragement and clarity for your own Corinth moment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key Insights:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Even faithful believers can experience seasons of deep discouragement, fear, and doubt—and God meets us there.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We are not called to save others but to faithfully share the gospel and trust God with the results.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your current opposition might be part of someone else’s future salvation story.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We need spiritual community, not just for connection but for perseverance in our calling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;God has more people He wants to reach through your life—don’t quit just because you’re tired.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key Scripture: &lt;a href="https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.18.ESV" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Acts 18&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
