The Kid from Lystra

It's always exciting when we hear about a celebrity or sports star who has accepted Christ and become vocal about their faith. But the church of Jesus Christ does not need celebrity conversions in order to be successful.

Famous, high-profile salvations are awesome. However, the truth is that the greatness of the church is found in the fact that God takes ordinary people, saves them, puts His touch on their lives, and empowers them to do extraordinary things! He just keeps on picking up common, ordinary people like us and using us for His glory.

Let's look at 2 Timothy 1:1-5 to find out about an ordinary kid that God used in extraordinary ways, so much so that he became a major figure in the Bible.
