Intro:
“If God sent his representative to be in your major (dorm, class, family, friend group, church), what would he do or say?”
“Wait a minute, I’m God’s representative.”

Tommy: One day, he decided he would give his life to God. “All in”
John: One day, he realized he needed to go all in.
Ben: “John’s just so wise.”
One day,
“God can use me to accomplish his purposes.”
God has placed you in your specific place, to accomplish his will through you.
God has gifted you in a specific way, to accomplish what he wants to do uniquely through you.
If you let him, God will use you as his instrument, to impact others for his Kingdom.
