Do you ever think: there's a certain type of person God uses to do his work - and you're not it?

We often find a variety of reasons why we think God won't use you, or if he does, only minimally.

In this sermon we tackle three reasons we think God doesn't use us for his kingdom work:

Too young
Too old
Disqualified

However none of these things need apply to us - because of the power of the gospel. Through Jesus God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong. We see this at the cross of Jesus.

Therefore, for anyone who trusts in Christ, God can use anyone in his kingdom work.
