unQualified

The Unqualified series begins June 26th and will focus on 5 Old Testament Biblical characters, all of whom were flawed and some of whom – if it were up to us – we may not have chosen as ones to work through.  Yet God did. The point is God can do what He wants and He is free to work through whomever He chooses.

Even Moses,  whom we look at as one of the greatest heroes in the Bible struggled with a sense of not being qualified for God to use him (see Ex. 2:11f; 4:10) We’ve probably all thought at some point “God can’t use me or at least shouldn’t use me.”  However, studying the Bible shows us that many flawed people were used by God in powerful ways. They were just as unqualified as you and me.

The Making of a Godly Man

“Give me one hundred men who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergyman or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon the earth.”
-John Wesley

For Father’s Day 2011, Pastor Ken looks to the Bible for the character qualities of a Godly man. He shares his findings from 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 in The Making of a Godly Man.

Ephesians 1:15-23
New International Version (NIV)

¹⁵ For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, ¹⁶ I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. ¹⁷ I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. ¹⁸ I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, ¹⁹ and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength ²⁰ he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, ²¹ far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. ²² And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
