Most of us have a running list of reasons why God wouldn't use us. Not smart enough. Not bold enough. Don't have the right words. Haven't got it all figured out yet. Maybe you're not even sure you believe any of this. And yet… here's what keeps jumping off the page in this week's sermon: God has never once waited for the right person to show up. He just uses whoever's already there. Pastor Sam Weitman is kicking off a brand new 12-week series through the Book of Acts this week, and in just three verses from Acts 1:1-3, one thing becomes really clear: The people who turned the world upside down weren't special. They were scared, ordinary, and honestly pretty unqualified. And God used them anyway. Here's what this message digs into: ›› Why so many of us are living like the resurrection didn't actually happen ›› What it looks like to see the people around you the way God sees them ›› Why your ordinary life might be exactly what God is looking for ›› Why your job isn't to make things happen — just to show up and be obedient ›› How ordinary people, gripped by something bigger than themselves, actually change the world If you've ever wondered whether your life is supposed to mean something more, this message is worth your time. If you've been around church your whole life and somewhere along the way it started feeling a little hollow, this is for you too. Because there's a difference between knowing about the resurrection and actually living like it's true. We think you'll be glad you watched. 🙌 Acts 1:1-3 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when He was taken up, after He had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He had chosen. He presented Himself alive to them after His suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. What's one reason you've told yourself God couldn't use you?
