Welcome to All Nations Community Church!
Welcome, friends. We are so excited to begin this powerful new series, "Use What You Have," with a foundational message from Pastor Ras titled "Ordinary Dirt, Extraordinary God." So many of us sit on the gifts God has given us, waiting for the perfect conditions or for us to feel ‘ready’. But what if God wants to use exactly what you have right now?
This sermon is a beautiful and humbling reminder that our value does not come from our own polish or perfection, but from the breath of our Creator. You were not formed by accident, but by the intentional, loving hands of God, and He has a magnificent purpose for your life. If you’ve ever felt inadequate or overlooked, this message will reawaken your spirit to the great treasure you carry.
We pray this message has encouraged you to see yourself and the gifts God has given you in a new, hopeful light.
A word from Pastor Ras
In Genesis 2:7, God took the dust of the ground and breathed into it, and man became a living being. That is all we are without God: ordinary dirt. But with His breath, we come alive.
So stop waiting until you feel ready or perfect. God does not need your perfection. He needs your yes. Moses had a stick. David had a sling. The boy in John 6 had five loaves and two fish. God used what they had, and He will use what you have.
You are not an accident. You were made on purpose, for a purpose. Ask God today to breathe on what you have and to show you how to use it for His glory.
Questions to think about
What are you waiting for before you serve God?
What do you have in your hand that God could use?
Where do you feel overlooked, and what does God say about you?
