Getting in Order & Finding Your Calling | Midweek Service

In this powerful Midweek Service, Pastor Austin Rumpel challenges the church to examine the internal alignment of their lives. He breaks down the difference between outward religious conformity and true Kingdom order, explaining that getting our lives in order requires submitting to God's Word and embracing spiritual fathering. Pastor Austin shatters the passive, religious stigma around the word "striving," urging believers to work fiercely for the Kingdom of God in whatever lane they are placed in.

The second half of the message demystifies the concept of a "calling." Pastor Austin warns against the trap of coveting full-time, five-fold ministry if God hasn't appointed you to it, and he encourages the church to first excel in their foundational callings—like being a godly spouse, a dedicated parent, or a hard worker. By laying down selfish ambitions and seeking the Father's specific design for our lives (Ephesians 2:10), we step into our place of greatest joy, supernatural favor, and kingdom impact.

Key Sections in this Message:

Kingdom Order vs. Religion: Pastor Austin explains that true order flows from abiding in Christ, not outward behavioral modification. He emphasizes that a lack of order in our lives is often rooted in a lack of spiritual fathering and a resistance to correction.

The Anchor of the Word: While worship and evangelism are vital, Pastor Austin highlights that only a deep, daily foundation in the Word of God produces permanent character transformation and maturity.

Redefining "Striving" (Colossians 1:29): Breaking off the religious demon of passivity, the church is challenged to labor and strive mightily according to God's energy. Believers are called to work hard in every area of life—not to build personal empires, but to seek first the Kingdom.

The Comfort of Discipline (Psalm 23): Looking at the Shepherd's rod and staff, Pastor Austin reveals that true sons and daughters find comfort in God's correction, knowing that the greatest anointing is found on the other side of the valley of discipline.

The Truth About Your Calling: Everyone has a distinct calling (Jeremiah 1:5), but very few are called to the five-fold ministry. Pastor Austin challenges the congregation to stop chasing platforms and start honoring their foundational roles as hard workers, husbands, wives, mothers, and fathers.

Your Place of Greatest Joy: When we stop trying to fit a round peg into a square hole and embrace the specific "good works" God prepared for us (Ephesians 2:10), we step into supernatural peace, multiplication, and joy.
