TEXT: Acts 18
*God uses every day ordinary people to accomplish His plans and purposes.
*Only God can bring unlikely people to unimaginable places and accomplish incredible things impacting the World for His glory!
*We can do the possible but only God can do the impossible!
I. NEW PLACES, NEW PEOPLE, SAME PROBLEM
*The light of the Gospel shines the brightest in the darkest places!
*Just because life has not turned out as you planned remember that this may very well be the start of God’s plan.
Proverbs 3:5, 6
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
II. A LOW POINT IN AN ENCOURAGING MOMENT
*The cure for a heavy, hurting, or broken heart is to hear the voice of God.
1. The promise of God’s presence.
2. The certainty of God’s power.
3. The assurance of God’s protection.
4. The importance of God’s purpose.
*God didn’t just save you from something he saved for something!
Quote:
I firmly believe that the moment our hearts are emptied of pride and selfishness and ambition and self-seeking and everything that is contrary to God’s law, the Holy Ghost will come and fill every corner of our hearts; but if we are full of pride and conceit and ambition and self-seeking and pleasure and the world, there is no room for the Spirit of God; and I believe many a man is praying to God to fill him when he is full already with something else.” D.L. Moody
III. PARTNERING IN MINISTRY
*Only humble people will receive instruction and help from others who come alongside them!
*God doesn’t do things in your life just for you; everything He does in your life is for accomplishing His plan which is making disciples.
*God is still using every day ordinary people to do extraordinary things for His glory!
