Sharing from an average guy

Yesterday, I had an opportunity to hear from Pastor Chris Hodges from Church of the Highlands. He was in town for the 13th MCCC.

He shared how God has used him, someone who is average of the below average (he was kind of exaggerating the whole below average kind of person he is) He never scored a "B" as a student because he usually scored lower. He also shared his first experience preaching and how he was corrected and learned. It was difficult but God used him to start what is today the fastest growing church in US.

Jesus' disciples didn't have the most glorifying jobs and they are probably young and inexperience as well. Yet, they were give the opportunity to learn by following Him.

Pastor Chris mentioned how he multiply himself but training others and guiding them in the things that he do. He always have someone with him to watch and learn. Eventually, he will allow them to try. He believes that when a leader demonstrates, his followers can learn best. People see, people do.

God can use anyone. Just allow Him to and be teachable. :)
