Unstoppable Idiots

Unstoppable Idiots

Mission: To lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ
Will you follow? Will you give your life to the mission?

Ephesians: 4:11-12a And the same one who descended is the one who ascended higher than all the heavens, so that he might fill the entire universe with himself.

11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.12 Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.

This doesn’t mean you should quit your job and join the church staff because maybe you are in a way better position to serve people where you are right now
God specializes by using ordinary people

God doesn’t call the prepared but he prepares the called

Acts 4:13 The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.

The 12 disciples were ordinary people, no educated religious people. Not even Jesus would be qualified for a Pastors job today.

Idiots who have been with Jesus:
1. Give their whole lives to him.
Luke 5,8-11 8 When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, "Oh, Lord, please leave me—I'm too much of a sinner to be around you."9 For he was awestruck by the number of fish they had caught, as were the others with him.10 His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were also amazed.
Jesus replied to Simon, "Don't be afraid! From now on you'll be fishing for people!"11 And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus.
Don’t pray a self-centered prayer, live a Jesus-centered life

2. Become unstoppable
Acts: 5,38-39 "So my advice is, leave these men alone. Let them go. If they are planning and doing these things merely on their own, it will soon be overthrown.39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God!"
