Better Know a Believer

Sermon Series
A few years ago, late night comedian Stephen Colbert had
a running segment entitled Better Know a District,
highlighting ordinary congressional districts from around
the country (including the Kansas 2nd!), and sharing
some of their more extraordinary qualities. As our worship team began its planning last summer, some yearned
for a opportunity to understand some of the more
ordinary characters in Scripture, and perhaps learn of
their more extraordinary qualities. After all, we know
about Moses and Elijah and Peter, but what about some
of the other lesser-known figures? As it turns out, God
has used quite an array of ordinary women and men, and
in better knowing their stories, we might even find that
God could use us!
June 5: Saul
