What Happened
Chapter 1: Introduction: God Qualifies the Called
0:00
Here's the big question. Have you ever said to yourself, "God,
0:04
4 seconds
I'm not qualified for that." Maybe you felt unprepared, unworthy, or just too ordinary for what God's asking you to
0:13
13 seconds
do. Well, if that's you, you're in very good company. Because the truth is God
0:20
20 seconds
doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called. Let's discuss. [music]
0:34

Well, welcome to the Dogear Disciple Channel, everyone. God bless you. So glad to uh have you once again here for a little bit of Bible study. I hope you
0:45
45 seconds
have your Bible with you. More importantly, it's just good to know you're there watching and praying and encouraging. It's good to know that
0:52
52 seconds
we're a part of a body of believers that truly loves the Lord and is lifting one enough one another up in prayer on a regular basis. That's a good thing.
1:03
1 minute, 3 seconds
Well, today I want to encourage you with this truth from the word of God. When
1:10
1 minute, 10 seconds
God calls you, he already knows your weaknesses and he knows your strengths.
1:16
1 minute, 16 seconds
He's already calculated our stupidity into the equation. Isn't that comforting to know that God knows all about us, the good and the bad,
1:28
1 minute, 28 seconds
and he's got a plan for us, and he's got a job for us to do. He isn't looking for perfect people, brothers and sisters. He
1:36
1 minute, 36 seconds
isn't He's not looking for, hey, that's God's guy or that's God's gal. No, he's looking for you and me. He's looking for ordinary people,
Chapter 2: God Chooses the Unqualified (1 Corinthians 1:26–31)
1:47
1 minute, 47 seconds
people with willing hearts, people willing to do what he calls us to do.
1:53
1 minute, 53 seconds
And as we'll see today in scripture, God has always worked through the unqualified to accomplish his perfect plan.
2:03
2 minutes, 3 seconds
Now, [clears throat] here's the real challenge.
2:08
2 minutes, 8 seconds
Until the Lord calls us home, whether by death or the rapture,
2:13
2 minutes, 13 seconds
we're called to stay busy doing what he's called us to do until he does call
2:20
2 minutes, 20 seconds
us home. So, let's open our Bibles and see what God has to say about all of this.
2:26
2 minutes, 26 seconds
We're going to be looking at 1 Corinthians 1:es 26-31.
2:32
2 minutes, 32 seconds
And I'm going to read that for you. For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called.
2:44
2 minutes, 44 seconds
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise. And God has chosen the weak things of the
2:52
2 minutes, 52 seconds
world to put to shame the things that are mighty.
2:57
2 minutes, 57 seconds
and the base things of the world and the things which are despised,
3:03
3 minutes, 3 seconds
God has chosen that no flesh should glory in his presence.
3:08
3 minutes, 8 seconds
So here again, our brother Paul, the apostle Paul, his words remind us that God does not operate by human standards.
3:18
3 minutes, 18 seconds
He doesn't recruit based [clears throat] on on resumes. He doesn't recruit based on education.
3:26
3 minutes, 26 seconds
He doesn't recruit based on natural talent. In fact, he often calls those who seem least qualified to make it
3:35
3 minutes, 35 seconds
clear that the power comes from him, not us. So look at verse 30. But of him you
3:44
3 minutes, 44 seconds
are in but of him you are in Christ Jesus who became for us wisdom from God
3:50
3 minutes, 50 seconds
and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.
3:55
3 minutes, 55 seconds
Well, that means your qualification and my qualification is not your personality or my personality. It's not your
Chapter 3: God Uses the Ordinary: Moses, Gideon, and the Apostles
4:04
4 minutes, 4 seconds
background. It's not my background. It's not your skill set or my skill set. It's Christ in us, Christ in you, Christ in
4:13
4 minutes, 13 seconds
me. So when God calls, he equips. When he sends, he empowers. When he chooses,
4:21
4 minutes, 21 seconds
he transforms. Now, let's look at some examples of the unqualified that God's God has used in scripture. Let's look at a few very powerful examples of this.
4:32
4 minutes, 32 seconds
First, there's Moses, the reluctant deliverer. When God called Moses at the burning bush, Moses said in Exodus 4:10,
4:39
4 minutes, 39 seconds
"Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, but I'm slow speech and slow tongue." So, Moses thought his stuttering or his speech disqualified him. But what did God say?
4:52
4 minutes, 52 seconds
Who has made man's mouth?
4:55
4 minutes, 55 seconds
Go there. Now, therefore, go and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say. Exodus 4:11-12.
5:03
5 minutes, 3 seconds
So, Moses felt and clearly wasn't qualified by human standards. But God and his presence
5:12
5 minutes, 12 seconds
made him powerful. So, it wasn't Moses's ability, it was God's availability
5:18
5 minutes, 18 seconds
through him. Let's look at Gideon, the fearful warrior. In Judges 6:15, Gideon said, 'Oh my Lord, how can I save
5:27
5 minutes, 27 seconds
Israel? Indeed, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my
5:34
5 minutes, 34 seconds
father's house. But God called him a mighty man of valor. Why? Well, because the moment God calls you,
5:43
5 minutes, 43 seconds
he sees what he will do through you,
5:47
5 minutes, 47 seconds
not what you are right now. He sees what you will become in walking in obedience.
5:54
5 minutes, 54 seconds
So the Lord told Gideon, "Surely I will be with you and you shall defeat the Midionites." Judges 6:16.
6:01
6 minutes, 1 second
So the qualification wasn't in Gideon's strength. It was in God's promise. I will be with you.
6:10
6 minutes, 10 seconds
Now look at the apostles. These are just ordinary men used in extraordinary ways. Think about Peter. He was impulsive,
6:18
6 minutes, 18 seconds
outspoken, [clears throat] even denied Jesus three times. Think about the Apostle Paul. He was once a murderer and
6:25
6 minutes, 25 seconds
persecutor of the church. Yet these were the men God used to turn the world upside down.
6:33
6 minutes, 33 seconds
So God doesn't wait for people to be perfect before he uses them. He uses imperfect people who are surrendered to
6:42
6 minutes, 42 seconds
Christ Jesus. So if you've ever said to yourself, "I'm not good enough or I'm not qualified." God's answer is, "You're exactly who I can use."
6:54
6 minutes, 54 seconds
Now, let's look at God's call and the church age that we're living in. We live today in what the Bible calls the church age,
7:03
7 minutes, 3 seconds
the time between Pentecost and the rapture. It's the age of grace where God is calling out a people for his name,
7:11
7 minutes, 11 seconds
the body of Christ. Every believer in that body has a calling and a purpose.
7:16
7 minutes, 16 seconds
Ephesians 2:10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
7:29
7 minutes, 29 seconds
Well, that means before you were even born, God already prepared works for you to do. He already had a place for your gifts. He's the giftgiver.
7:39
7 minutes, 39 seconds
Even if you don't feel qualified to use them yet, find your gift and use it.
7:47
7 minutes, 47 seconds
Romans 12:6 tells us, "Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them." Notice
7:54
7 minutes, 54 seconds
that phrase, "According to the grace that is given." God's grace qualifies you.
Chapter 4: Your Calling in the Church Age
8:02
8 minutes, 2 seconds
The Holy Spirit empowers you.
8:05
8 minutes, 5 seconds
The Lord Jesus commissions you. And here's what's critical for us to understand as believers living in these last days.
8:16
8 minutes, 16 seconds
We don't have forever to fulfill our calling. We're not waiting for the world to get better. We're waiting for Jesus to call his church home.
8:28
8 minutes, 28 seconds
And it could happen at any moment. And we're talking about the rapture.
8:34
8 minutes, 34 seconds
And the rapture is really and is meant to be our motivation to stay busy
8:40
8 minutes, 40 seconds
for the Lord. The Bible says, "For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, and the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God,
8:49
8 minutes, 49 seconds
and the dead in Christ will rise first.
8:52
8 minutes, 52 seconds
And we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them [clears throat] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore,
9:02
9 minutes, 2 seconds
comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18.
9:08
9 minutes, 8 seconds
Friends, this is called our blessed hope, the rapture of the church. And because the rapture is imminent, that
9:15
9 minutes, 15 seconds
is, it could happen at any time. It's meant to stir us to action, not a not apathy.
9:23
9 minutes, 23 seconds
Jesus said in Luke 19:13, "Occupy until I come." In other words, stay busy doing
9:30
9 minutes, 30 seconds
what I've called you to do until I return for you.
9:35
9 minutes, 35 seconds
So don't make the mistake of burying your gift, your talent. Don't waste your gift. Time is short and eternity is
9:44
9 minutes, 44 seconds
near. So every act of kindness, every act of service, every prayer, every encouragement,
9:52
9 minutes, 52 seconds
every moment of obedience, it matters.
9:56
9 minutes, 56 seconds
And when the trumpet sounds, our work here ends and our reward begins. So what should we be doing in
10:05
10 minutes, 5 seconds
the meantime? Well, we need to find ways to keep serving. Doesn't matter if anyone sees it.
10:12
10 minutes, 12 seconds
We're meant to keep watching. Watching the signs of the times and watching for the Lord.
10:18
10 minutes, 18 seconds
We're called to keep walking faithfully.
10:22
10 minutes, 22 seconds
Your your obedience in resisting temptation. Sin has been done away with. It has no power over you as a Christian.
10:32
10 minutes, 32 seconds
But the transforming of the Holy Spirit in your life as he walks you through the resisting
10:39
10 minutes, 39 seconds
and fleeing from temptation, you learn through you learn endurance through your obedience and through your endurance
10:48
10 minutes, 48 seconds
character. So keep walking faithfully and obedient. And we're called to keep encouraging others to do the same.
10:58
10 minutes, 58 seconds
We're called to be disciples.
Chapter 5: The Rapture: Why We Must Stay Busy
11:01
11 minutes, 1 second
So practical application for all of this. Let me give you three practical takeaways today so you have three things that you can take away from this video.
11:10
11 minutes, 10 seconds
First, I encourage you to stop disqualifying yourself.
11:15
11 minutes, 15 seconds
If God called you, he already knew your flaws. He knows all about you.
11:20
11 minutes, 20 seconds
So, you need to stop saying I can't and start saying God in me can. Look at Galatians 2:20 and study it.
11:31
11 minutes, 31 seconds
Look it up. Galatians 2:20 and study it.
11:34
11 minutes, 34 seconds
Also, Philippians 1:6, which says, "He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus
11:41
11 minutes, 41 seconds
Christ." That day, of course, is the rapture. God will finish what he started in you.
11:49
11 minutes, 49 seconds
Second takeaway for you. Use what you have where you are. Used to call that,
11:54
11 minutes, 54 seconds
you know, grow where you're planted, but use what you have where you are. Don't wait for perfect circumstances.
12:01
12 minutes, 1 second
Moses started with a staff. Ostensibly, he started with a stick.
12:06
12 minutes, 6 seconds
He started with a staff. The widow started with a jar of oil. The boy started with five loaves and two fish.
12:15
12 minutes, 15 seconds
You already have what God can use. your testimony, your time, your talent.
12:25
12 minutes, 25 seconds
Start now. Don't delay. And third takeaway,
12:31
12 minutes, 31 seconds
and I say this all the time. I try to encourage my brothers and sisters in the Lord. Live with rapture urgency.
12:36
12 minutes, 36 seconds
Friends, we don't know the day or the hour. We can't know. But we do know the season, and we're in it. We're smack dab in the season.
12:45
12 minutes, 45 seconds
And everything happening in the world tells us the Lord's return is very near.
12:51
12 minutes, 51 seconds
So ask yourself, if Jesus called us home today, would he find me faithful? Would
12:58
12 minutes, 58 seconds
he find me serving or sitting? Would he find me occupied with his work or distracted by the world, the flesh, and the devil?
13:11
13 minutes, 11 seconds
Beloved, my friends, my brothers and sisters, the time is now to be about our father's business.
13:18
13 minutes, 18 seconds
And friends, let me tell you, if you have not yet trusted Jesus as your savior, now is the time. The Apostle
13:26
13 minutes, 26 seconds
Paul declared the gospel by which we are saved. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, he wrote, "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you,
13:36
13 minutes, 36 seconds
which also you received, and in which you stand, be which also you are saved,
13:41
13 minutes, 41 seconds
that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third
13:49
13 minutes, 49 seconds
day according to the scriptures." So understand your salvation, salvation in general is not earned by our works. It's not rel it's not by religion. No.
Chapter 6: Three Practical Takeaways for Every Believer
14:02
14 minutes, 2 seconds
Salvation is a free gift of God.
14:05
14 minutes, 5 seconds
By God's grace through faith. It is not of man. It's not of works lest anybody should boast. It's through faith
14:13
14 minutes, 13 seconds
in Jesus Christ. He shed his blood for your sins. He was buried and he rose again in victory. And when you place
14:21
14 minutes, 21 seconds
your faith in him alone, you are forgiven of your sins. You are sealed by the Holy Spirit. You were given eternal life and [clears throat] made a brand
14:30
14 minutes, 30 seconds
new child of God forever. Ephesians 1:13-14.
14:36
14 minutes, 36 seconds
Now friends, the world is very swiftly moving towards a final prophetic hour,
14:41
14 minutes, 41 seconds
but the blessed hope, the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ for his church, the rapture could happen at any
14:48
14 minutes, 48 seconds
moment. So, please don't wait until after the rapture to believe because by then the world will enter a time of
14:57
14 minutes, 57 seconds
unparalleled judgment and wrath. [music]
15:07
15 minutes, 7 seconds
[music]
15:13
15 minutes, 13 seconds
So, let's bring this home. If you feel unqualified, that's okay.
15:17
15 minutes, 17 seconds
[clears throat]
15:17
15 minutes, 17 seconds
If you feel inadequate, that's normal because God's strength is made perfect in weakness. Friend, you are called, you
15:25
15 minutes, 25 seconds
are chosen, you are equipped not because of who you are, but because of who he is in you.
15:34
15 minutes, 34 seconds
So, keep serving until he calls you home. Keep sharing Christ. Keep sharing the gospel. Keep loving people. Keep
15:42
15 minutes, 42 seconds
praying for people. Keep using your gift and when the trumpet sounds, may he find you faithful and busy doing his work.
15:53
15 minutes, 53 seconds
2 Timothy 4:7-8. I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness,
16:02
16 minutes, 2 seconds
which the Lord, the righteous judge,
16:04
16 minutes, 4 seconds
will give to me on that day. and not to me only but to but also to all who have loved his appearing.
16:14
16 minutes, 14 seconds
That's the reward for those who stay faithful until he calls us home. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you.
16:24
16 minutes, 24 seconds
Thank you that you do not call the qualified, but you qualify the called.
16:28
16 minutes, 28 seconds
Thank you for giving each of us gifts and a purpose in this church age to serve you until you call us. Lord, we
16:36
16 minutes, 36 seconds
surrender our strengths and weaknesses to you. Use us for your glory. Help us to be faithful, [clears throat]
16:41
16 minutes, 41 seconds
steadfast, and ready until the trumpet sounds in Jesus's mighty name. Amen.
16:48
16 minutes, 48 seconds
