God does not always use people who are physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, or socially perfect. He does not even always use people who are in adequate health. In fact, sometimes He uses people through their physical disability rather than in spite of it. One of the many clear messages of the Bible is that God can use anyone in any fashion He wants.
Through this study, group members will learn about four permanently or temporarily disabled disciples. We will look at four very different people who shared physical weakness in one form or another. Through their disabilities these men can teach us much. They will teach about such things as faith, perseverance, loyalty, kindness, humility, obedience, redemption, and love.
