The Nobodies

This powerful message challenges us to embrace our identity as 'nobodies' in God's kingdom, revealing a profound spiritual paradox: God uses those who empty themselves of worldly credentials and pride. We journey through Scripture examining figures like Paul, who counted all his impressive achievements as loss for Christ, and Moses, who spent 40 years in the wilderness becoming a nobody before God called him at age 80. The sermon draws a beautiful parallel between farm life and spiritual fellowship, showing how our daily connection with God transforms us from wild, distant creatures into those who know His voice intimately. We're reminded that discipleship isn't about Sunday attendance alone, but about staying connected throughout the week. The woman at the well and the demon-possessed man in the graveyard become our heroes—ordinary people with extraordinary testimonies who simply shared what Jesus had done for them. The central truth emerges clearly: we don't need seminary degrees, impressive titles, or perfect lives to be used by God. We simply need a testimony, humility, and willingness. When we lose our lives for Christ's sake, we truly find them. The question isn't whether we know about Jesus, but whether we're known by Him—whether His love compels us so deeply that we cannot help but share it with a dying world.
