How God Uses Disability: An Interview with Nick Vujicic

God doesn’t want us to remain how He found us. He wants us to grow, to be refined. It’s a lifelong process, and it’s one even the most famous biblical figures experienced.

Notes:

Focus verses - Mark 1, Mark 10
 
Jesus picked ordinary men.
 
We all are called by God.
 
Jesus meets us where we are; not where we think we should be.
 
You are called by God.
 
James and John struggled with pride, impatience, and a fiery zeal.
 
#1 The Raw Elements
Mark 1:19–20
 
James and John were impulsive.
 
Jesus is constantly calling us closer to Himself.
 
Read Luke 9:53–56
 
James and John were nicknamed “The Sons of Thunder.”
 
#2 The Refining Process
Mark 10:37–41
 
God’s discipline is a sign of His love.
 
"But He knows where I am going.
And when He tests me, I will come out as pure as gold." Job 23:10 (NLT)
  
James and John started out as rough, impulsive, self-seeking men,
but they didn’t stay that way.
 
#3 The Finished Product
Acts 12:1–2
 
“I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 1:9 (NKJV)
 
The process of being refined by God is lifelong.
 
1. Pray
2. Serve
3. Give
4. Be Present

Despite David’s sin, he was given a second chance in life.

Will God Give You a Second Chance? Here's My Answer.

Some people just want to try a little bit of Jesus. As though Christianity was one of the dishes at a religion buffet. “Give me just a small scoop of that. I just want to bring a smile to my face, not a change to my heart.” But when we truly invite Jesus in, He’ll make us new people, head to toe, free from the chains of our past. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us watch that moment of transformation in a man whose best efforts had come up short.
