Don't Despise The Day of Small Things

My father, Maurice Young, Missionary to Taiwan, passed on to Glory March 31, 2021. On Sunday Night, May 16, 2021, Tabernacle Baptist Church held a testimony service where many of the members gave testimonies of how he influenced them. Pastor Don Ball also invited me to preach the service, which was a great honor. This is the message that was preached for the service.

In this message we see how God often does not always use "great" events or "great" people but rather uses small events and humble people to effect great change, through small things over time. In Zechariah 4 we see how God uses a seemingly small event in the life of Zerubbabel to show how that small event in a seemingly insignificant location will lead to Christ and the world wide influence of today's biblical churches.

In this example God gives of Zerubbabel we see how God can and does use the small daily things in our lives to fulfil his will. Throughout the message we give some examples of how this is done and how small events of other believers affected my father's life and ministry. We also see that without these small things much of the Godly influences and great events of our own lives would not have happened. We end with realizing the importance of cherishing and not despising the small "insignificant" things we get to do for God throughout our day that effect those around us.
