Being Found Useful | Marcus Mecum | 7 Hills Church
Description
When Jesus walks into a room, He can instantly see what’s out of place. In Matthew 21:10 –13, He steps into the temple and recognizes that the people had lost what mattered most: prayer, purpose, and usefulness. What looked fine to everyone else was completely misaligned to the One who actually owns the house.
This message challenges us to pause and ask:
Am I being found useful in God’s house?
Have things shifted in my life that He never intended to move?
God isn’t looking for perfection, He’s looking for people who will be available, servant-hearted, and willing to be used. And even when we feel like “just dirt,” God specializes in taking what seems ordinary or overlooked and forming it into something with eternal value.
In this message you’ll learn:
- Uselessness is more dangerous than failure—God can forgive failure, but He can’t use what refuses to be used
- Every gift, resource, and opportunity God gives is meant to bless others
- God can take the “dirt” of our lives and turn it into a miracle
Scriptures:
- Matthew 21:10-13 - Jesus cleanses the temple
- Luke 10 — The Good Samaritan as a picture of true usefulness
- John 8 & John 9 — God moving “dirt” to redeem, heal, and make lives useful again
