Kevin and Joshua discuss what makes the biggest difference…the place of the church…a few things that make things worse rather than better, and how to proactively prevent conflict. What does lived experience reveal…and what does the Bible say?

This Bible Study explores the lives of three lesser-known apostles—James the Less, Judas (not Iscariot), and Simon the Zealot—to illustrate how God chooses ordinary individuals to accomplish extraordinary purposes. By examining their backgrounds, including Simon's radical past, the message emphasizes that divine selection is based on grace rather than human merit or status. The preacher highlights 1 Corinthians 1 to show that God uses the foolish and weak things of the world to confound the wise and mighty. Additionally, the text discusses the temporary nature of miraculous gifts given to the apostles for authentication before the completion of Scripture. Ultimately, the central theme encourages believers to find confidence in Christ alone, trusting that God can use anyone who responds to His call.
