My opportunities culminated in what was our “youth-led service,” where I was asked by our pastor to preach the Sunday night service. I was simultaneously nervous and excited. I preached my guts out that night, and although in my opinion the sermon was poorly done and exegetically erroneous, the Spirit of God moved powerfully that night. The altars were filled with people repenting and surrendering their lives to Christ. After the service, several people came up and encouraged me by saying they thought I was “called” into ministry.
