God builds His kingdom the way yeast works through dough—quietly, steadily, faithfully. In this sermon, we explore how: • God works through ordinary people with simple faith • God works through ordinary means like conversation and encouragement • God works at an ordinary pace—slow, steady, and eternal • And through it all, He grows His extraordinary kingdom The believers in Antioch weren’t spiritual superstars. They weren’t famous. They simply trusted Jesus, spoke to people, and stayed faithful over time. And God used them to change eternity.

God wants to use ordinary you, with simple faith, to turn strangers into friends, and friends into faithful apprentices of Jesus. 📖 Text: Acts 11:19–30; 13:1–3 📌 Theme: Ordinary People.
