This Week's Message
Who Would Want to Hear My Story?
Pastor Geoff Davis
Readings
Zechariah 4:10, Matthew 13:31-33, Acts 9:36-43
I learned at an early age that I wasn’t good enough. I grew up in a row house and didn’t have the “right kind” of friends or wear stylish clothes. Many of us carry the story that we’re “nobody” – that we’re not as important as other people who have more impressive stories. How does that affect our relationship with God?
The mustard seed principle runs from Old Testament prophetic vision (Zechariah) through Jesus' teaching (the parables) through Jesus' own life pattern (hidden years in Nazareth) through Paul's theology (God chooses the foolish) through the early church's embodiment (Dorcas). Small beginnings, hidden labor, and ordinary means are not exceptions to God's work—they ARE God's work.
When brothers and sisters say, "my story is too small," they're actually describing exactly what God consistently uses.
