Small, But Not Insignificant - Sunday January 31, 2016
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 ESV
A hero for me is a person who, regardless of gender, race, or social background, has the courage to change the course of their world. But when you think about changing the world, it becomes a little bit overwhelming! There are seven billion people, and 2.2 billion people have not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Over a year ago I was walking in an Asian city with a mass population of 16-18 million people. I'm on my way with some friends, walking on the sidewalk, just packed with people going by. I didn't see one foreigner the entire time that I was there. And I don't speak the language all that well, so I'm having a little private conversation with the Lord as we're walking to our training spot.

I just felt overwhelmed! I saw all this mass of humanity walking before me, and I felt broken because most of the people have not heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm thinking, "Lord, I am just so small." And I felt the Lord speaking to me in His inaudible voice. And He said, "Yes, Doug, you are small" – and He held the pause – "but you're not insignificant."

When you hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you, you'll walk away thinking. You may be overwhelmed, and you may feel really small. And you are small, but not insignificant. You're not insignificant in the Kingdom of God. You have a special place: God has created good works for you to fulfill in Christ Jesus.
