Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 4, 2019

The Insignificant Servant Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 14, 2009

God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. He orchestras divine appointments to accomplish His will. We are called to trust and obey Him. Be amazed at what God can do with our willingness to obey.

We feel the sense of powerlessness of the poorer servant. We feel the outrage of the other servants as they see this injustice being played out. ...read more
