Carry the Flame Video Study: A Bible Study on Renewing Your Heart and Reviving the World

God Can Use Anyone and Everyone

Do you ever feel that you need to be qualified to talk about your faith? Or that God only uses “special” people who can preach and lead ministries? Or that even if you did step up and do something bold for God . . . that it wouldn’t really matter much in the end?

When you look at the stories of the men and women in the early church, most were not people we would consider “qualified” for the tasks that God set before them. Many were not trained in religious matters or even educated. Few of them had the skills to persuade people through eloquent speech. Certainly, none of them considered they were accomplishing extraordinary things for God that extend to today. But all had one thing in common. They stepped out in faith and took action when they felt the leading of the Holy Spirit.

In this video Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Jim Cymbala draws on examples of these ordinary people—men and women such as Ananias, Philip, and the 120 who waited in the Upper Room—along with modern-day testimonies to show how God can use anyone and everyone who follows his guidance. As you go through this study, you will learn how to obey the Spirit’s directions and extend the kingdom through sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
