About this episode
Pastor Steven Merritt discusses how God chooses individuals despite their past, offering encouragement to those who feel disqualified from serving Him.
Many of us have things in our past that we believe disqualify us from serving God. We have shame, and fear, and we are just not convinced God wants us. And we definitely don't think He could ever use us. It may surprise you who God chooses. In fact, would you believe that God has chosen you? In this next to last message in the series God and the Underdogs, Pastor Steven Merritt offers some encouragement and insight that may help you see things differently.
