DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU THINK YOU ARE READY
1 Corinthians 1:26-28
Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise.
And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important.

ARE YOUR FEET BEAUTIFUL?
Romans 10:14-15
But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him?
And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”
• We are all called to be the hands and feet of the body of Christ. How will you get involved
