"Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things"

Pastor Akin began by addressing how people often feel inadequate for God's use due to their perceived limitations or past failures. He introduced the main idea that God uses the ordinary to accomplish the extraordinary because He wants the glory. Using Moses as the primary example, Akin walked through the burning bush encounter in Exodus 3:1-6. He emphasized three key truths about God: that God is present (appearing to Moses in the theophany of the burning bush), that God is personal (calling Moses by name specifically), and that God is passionate (about seeking and saving the lost). The sermon stressed that every believer has a calling from God, not just pastors and missionaries, and that God can use anyone regardless of their background or perceived inadequacies.

In this message:

God is in the business of using the ordinary to accomplish the extraordinary because God is about getting the glory.God's call on your life is always personal and always specific.Every single follower of Christ is called of God to seek and save all that are lost.You are where you are on purpose, not by accident, and God wants to use you right where you are.When you hurt God hurts and God rescues ordinary people.
