God loves calling anonymous nobodies. Consider some of the nobodies he chose: Moses (a stuttering fugitive stranded on backside of desert for 40 years), Gideon (a coward hiding in a winepress), Rahab (a double-dealing pagan prostitute), and Mary (an uneducated teenager).
The anonymous nobodies of the world, people like you and me, these are the ones God goes after as he seeks out a people who will rise to the occasion of his heart for world. I wouldn’t do it that way. Neither would you. But God does.
To our surprise (but rarely our satisfaction), we, the anonymous nobodies, are God’s plan A and B and C. God isn’t going to magically resolve everything while we sit back and coach him on how best to bring our deliverance. We’re going to get our hands dirty. And our hearts broken.

Upside Down Kingdom
December 30, 2018 • Dirk Duhlstine
God says: 1. If you want to be great… be a servant 2. To find yourself…you must die to yourself 3. To get back at your enemy…you should love him 4. To become rich… give money away God's kingdom is an upside down kingdom! When we clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and love…which is clothing ourselves with the person and nature of http://christ...we’re clothing ourselves for battle.
Words Create Worlds
December 23, 2018 • Graeme Sellers
Our words create worlds. The words we speak shape and create world we live in. Words have always created worlds. It’s true. How was our world made? Words. Ten times in the creation account of Genesis 1 we read this: “And God said…” Their impact is captured in Genesis 2:1 “Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.” Gen. 1:28 reports that we are made in God’s image, so why should it surprise us that our words have creative power as well? God would urge us to listen to ourselves, to pay attention to the words we speak and the worlds they create.
What's the Point?
December 16, 2018 • Graeme Sellers
What’s the point of this – the Sunday morning church gathering that is, for many of us, a regular part of our lives? What if the point isn’t what we think it is, or is more than we imagined it is? God isn’t afraid of honest inquiry or the fierce conversation, and the answers to this question may surprise and delight us!
