This document discusses how God chooses unlikely people to accomplish His purposes. It provides examples from the Bible of David, who was the unlikely choice to be king despite his small stature; Gideon, who was reluctant to be a warrior but was chosen by God; and Rahab, a former prostitute who demonstrated faith in God and protected the Israelite spies. The overall message is that God qualifies and uses people not based on human standards of wisdom, influence or status, but based on their faith and willingness to obey Him.

4. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29
26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were
when you were called. Not many of you were
wise by human standards; not many were
influential; not many were of noble birth.
27 But God chose the foolish things of
the world to shame the wise; God chose the
weak things of the world to shame the strong.
28 God chose the lowly things of this world and
the despised things—and the things that are
not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no
one may boast before him.

5. PROPOSITION: WHAT QUALIFIES
US WHEN GOD CALLED US?

6. DAVID: THE LEAST TO BE KING

7. “Don’t judge by his
appearance or height, for I
have rejected him. The Lord
doesn’t see things the way
you see them. People judge
by outward appearance, but
the Lord looks at the heart.”
– 1 Samuel 16:8 NLT

8. GIDEON: THE RELUCTANT WARRIOR
 JUDGES 6-8

9. 12 The angel of the LORD appeared to
him and said to him, “The LORD is
with you, O valiant warrior.”
13 Then Gideon said to him, “O my
lord, if the LORD is with us, why
then has all this happened to us?
And where are all His miracles
which our fathers told us about,
saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us
up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD
has abandoned us and given us into
the hand of Midian.”

10. 14 The LORD [g]looked at him and said,
“Go in this your strength and deliver
Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I
not sent you?” 15 He said to Him, “O
Lord, [h]how shall I deliver Israel?
Behold, my family is the least in
Manasseh, and I am the youngest in
my father’s house.” 16 But the LORD
said to him, “Surely I will be with
you, and you shall [i]defeat Midian as
one man.”
