What Kind of People Does God Use?
(Part 1 of a multi part series) What kind of person does God choose to accomplish His work? Many Christians believe God can only use those who are exceptionally gifted, highly educated, or spiritually mature. In this powerful message, we discover that Scripture teaches something entirely different. God delights in using ordinary men and women who are surrendered to Him. Beginning with the discouraged disciples after the crucifixion and continuing through the opening chapter of Acts, this study reveals how the risen Christ transformed fearful followers into bold witnesses through the power of the Holy Spirit. Whether you've experienced failure, doubt, discouragement, or feel inadequate for God's service, this message offers tremendous hope. God isn't looking for perfect people—He's looking for willing hearts. Join us as we examine the characteristics of the people God uses and discover how every believer can become an effective witness for Jesus Christ. In This Episode • Why the resurrection changed everything for the disciples • Why discouragement does not disqualify you from serving God • The transformation of Thomas from doubt to faith • Why joy is essential to an effective Christian witness • The importance of acknowledging Jesus as Lord and God • Receiving the power of the Holy Spirit for ministry • Lessons from Mary, the brothers of Jesus, and the early church • Why prayer, unity, and dependence upon God are marks of usable servants • How God uses ordinary believers to accomplish extraordinary purposes Key Scripture References John 20 Acts 1 John 7:5 1 Peter 3 1 Peter 1:8 Key Takeaways God Uses People Who Have Been Changed by Christ The disciples experienced fear, failure, and uncertainty after the crucifixion. Yet the risen Lord transformed them into courageous witnesses. God Uses Believers Who Trust Him Faith—not personal ability—is the foundation of effective ministry. God works through those who believe His promises. God Uses Joyful Christians The disciples became glad when they saw the risen Lord. True Christian joy becomes a testimony to the world. God Uses Spirit-Empowered People Jesus promised His followers they would receive power through the Holy Spirit to become His witnesses throughout the world. God Uses Those Who Pray The believers in Acts devoted themselves to prayer, recognizing their complete dependence upon God. God Uses Surrendered Lives Mary, the apostles, and even Jesus' once-unbelieving brothers became willing servants because they placed Christ first. Memorable Quote "God isn't looking for perfect people. He is looking for surrendered people who trust Him, depend upon His Spirit, and are willing to be used for His glory." Questions for Reflection Am I allowing past failures to keep me from serving Christ? Is Jesus truly Lord over every area of my life? Am I relying on the Holy Spirit rather than my own abilities? Is prayer a regular part of my walk with God? Do others see the joy of Christ in my life? What step of obedience is God calling me to take today?

A Father's Greatest Calling: Giving the Gospel and Giving Your Life
In Episode 124 of the Legacy Bible Podcast, we continue through 1 Thessalonians 2 with a timeless Father's Day message that explores God's design for biblical fatherhood. Drawing from the Apostle Paul's example of spiritual leadership, this sermon challenges fathers—and every believer who influences others—to build relationships on the unchanging foundation of God's Word. True love does more than seek approval; it seeks another person's eternal good. Paul reminds us that genuine love is willing to give not only the gospel but also one's own life. This powerful message calls fathers to faithfully invest in their children through sacrificial love, holy character, steadfast labor, and a passion to see them come to know Christ and walk in His truth. Whether you're a father, parent, mentor, or simply seeking to understand God's heart for spiritual leadership, this message remains deeply relevant today. Full Show Notes Legacy Bible Podcast – Episode 124 Title: A Father's Greatest Calling: Giving the Gospel and Giving Your Life Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:8–12 John 5:24 John 3:18, 36 Acts 4:12 Romans 10:13–15 Philippians 2:2 3 John 4 Hebrews 12 Episode Summary What makes a godly father? In this heartfelt Father's Day message from 1988, we discover that biblical fatherhood is not defined merely by biology but by sacrificial love rooted in God's truth. Paul's words in 1 Thessalonians 2 provide a portrait of spiritual fatherhood—one that reflects God's own heart. The greatest gift a father can give is not success, possessions, or approval, but the gospel of Jesus Christ and the daily investment of his own life. This sermon reminds us that love seeks another's eternal good, willingly sacrifices for others, and longs above all else to see children walking faithfully with the Lord. In This Episode The difference between worldly love and biblical love Why God's Word must be the foundation of parenting Paul's example of spiritual fatherhood Giving not only the gospel but your own life Why children need consistent sacrificial love The importance of a father's godly character The eternal value of leading children to Christ The joy of seeing children walk in truth God's perfect example of fatherhood Living a life that leaves a lasting spiritual legacy Key Lessons Love Seeks Eternal Good True love is not based on winning approval or avoiding conflict. It seeks what is eternally best according to God's unchanging truth. The Greatest Gift Is the Gospel No earthly gift compares with introducing a child to Jesus Christ and the hope of eternal life. A Father Gives His Life Paul says he shared not only the gospel but his own life. Biblical fatherhood requires continual investment, sacrifice, presence, and faithful service. Character Matters Children remember more than words—they remember a father's life. Integrity, holiness, consistency, and love become a lifelong testimony. Joy Comes Through Faithfulness A father's greatest joy is not found in worldly success but in seeing his children know Christ and walk in His truth. Memorable Quotes "Love seeks the good of the one loved." "We were willing to impart unto you not the gospel of God only, but also our own lives." "The greatest gift a father can give is Christ." "There is no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." "Give the gospel—and give your life."

Love Speaks: Living as Christ's Ambassador
In Episode 123 of the Legacy Bible Podcast, Pastor Chuck Raines explores what it truly means to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ. Drawing from John 7, John 8, John 12, and 2 Corinthians 5, he demonstrates that Jesus spoke only what the Father gave Him to speak—and calls every believer to follow that same example. This message reminds us that witnessing is never meant to be driven by guilt, fear, or obligation. Instead, our words, our lives, and our service should flow naturally from a heart that genuinely loves Christ. As our love for Him grows, speaking for Him becomes the joyful expression of that relationship. This timeless sermon challenges believers to cultivate a deeper love for the Lord through His Word, prayer, fellowship, and daily obedience, becoming faithful ambassadors who reflect Christ to the world. Scripture References:• John 7:16• John 8:26• John 12:49• John 14:15, 31• John 15:9–10• 2 Corinthians 5:20• 1 Peter 5:2–3• Exodus 4 Episode Highlights Jesus spoke only the words the Father gave Him. Every Christian is called to be Christ's ambassador. Ambassadors represent the King—not themselves. Love is the true motivation for obedience. Witnessing flows from a heart devoted to Christ. Fear, guilt, and obligation cannot sustain faithful service. The local church equips believers for ministry. Daily Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship strengthen our walk with Christ. God desires to use ordinary believers to proclaim His gospel. Loving Christ transforms every area of life. Key Takeaways Christ is our perfect example of obedience. Love always precedes lasting obedience. God's Word equips believers to represent Him faithfully. Our witness reflects the depth of our relationship with Jesus. Every believer has opportunities to speak for Christ. Memorable Quote "Give Him your love, and He will have your mouth. Give Him your love, and He will have your body. Give Him your love, and He will have your time."
