Following Jesus Together: MyStory.church

Being Used by God

The people God chooses are often not the ones that people would consider the best suited for the job. We see this in Peggy’s story of God’s choice to use a 15-year-old girl who barely speaks the language to convey His heart to prostitutes in Hungary. We see it again in His choice to anoint the smallest brother, David, to be the next king of Israel. We cannot allow our perceptions of our abilities or our past to stand in the way of what God is calling us to do. If He calls us, He will equip us.

Following Jesus Together is a resource supported by Ridge Christian in Broken Arrow, OK.

If you're interested in learning how to implement these principles in your church or community, we'd love to assist or connect you with others who can help. Feel free to reach out to us at go@ridgechristian.com
