Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things

Matt Edmundson

Here’s a summary of this week’s sermon:

  • Matt starts off by talking about how ordinary life can feel at times but reveals that the Bible tells us a different story - that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. 

  • Matt dives into the story of Philip, an ordinary man who took the Gospel to the Samaritans - a group marginalized by the Jews at the time.

  • Just like Philip, we too can make extraordinary impacts, even if it seems unexpected. Matt references a few modern examples, like Dietrich Bonhoeffer who stepped out of their comfort zones to bring God's message to people in unique and powerful ways.

  • The main takeaway from Matt's message is that God can use all of us, no matter how ordinary we may feel, to make a significant impact. He encourages everyone to think about one specific way they can "tell and show" the story of Jesus this week. Matt wraps up his message by reminding us that even in tough times, we can bring joy to those around us and make a difference in the world by sharing Jesus' story.
