Can God Use Someone Like Me? | Acts 6:1-7 | Mike Kelsey

What if the biggest threat to the early church wasn’t persecution… but people? In Acts 6, the church is exploding with growth, yet behind the scenes tensions are rising, needs are being overlooked and conflict threatens to derail everything. What happens next reveals something surprising about how God works through imperfect people to accomplish His perfect mission.

This message reminds us that healthy churches aren’t problem-free. They’re filled with ordinary people who trust Jesus, serve one another and faithfully use the gifts God has given them. If you’ve ever wondered whether your life or your gifts really matter in God’s Kingdom, this passage offers a powerful answer.

The apostles refused to let conflict become the focus. They addressed the problem without abandoning the mission. Today, we’re faced with the same challenge. Will we allow difficulties to divide us, or will we remain committed to what matters most: helping people find and follow Jesus? Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, under-qualified or unsure where you fit, discover how God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.
