Prayer and Preaching the Gospel
“The Spirit of the Lord has come upon His Church, Because He has anointed us to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent this Church to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are oppressed, To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
Christ’s church has been empowered by His Spirit to preach the Gospel to those who are perishing
Principle
You have been empowered/sustained
You have been sent (Mt 28:19-20)
You must also speak of Yahweh
You must know the Gospel (1 Cor 15:3-6)
The Gospel is not
Your Testimony
Inviting someone to a church service
Handing someone a Bible
The Gospel is a set of propositional truths telling people that:
Jesus lived perfectly under the Laws instituted by God
Jesus died on the cross - suffering the wrath of God against sin
Jesus was buried in fulfillment of Scripture
Jesus was raised by God proving what He had told His disciples
Jesus was seen by many witnesses that also attest to the legitimacy of His claims
So what...
For those that know and believe in Jesus, death and sin are conquered enemies
They will not face the wrath of God because Christ already has on their behalf
Those that truly believe are born again into the family of God, empowered by His Spirit for good works
You must preach the Gospel - in order to turn hearts back to Yahweh (Lk 1:17)
You have been sent
Living by Faith will get you

Yahweh’s Provision
Luke 4:16-30
16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up, and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read. 17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the scroll and found the place where it was written,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are oppressed, 19 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
20 And He closed the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 And all were speaking well of Him and marveling at the gracious words which were coming forth from His lips, and they were saying, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” 23 And He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard took place at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown as well.’”
24 And He said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown. 25 But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land, 26 and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” 28 And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things, 29 and they stood up and drove Him out of the city, and led Him to the edge of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff. 30 But passing through their midst, He went on His way.
James 5:13-20
13 Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18 Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the earth produced its fruit. 19 My brothers, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
1 KG 17:1-16
Sustained
1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, surely there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.” 2 Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, 3 “Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. 4 And it will be that you will drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to sustain you there.” 5 So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. 6 And the ravens were bringing him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he would drink from the brook. 7 Now it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
Sent
8 Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, 9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and remain there; behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.” 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.” 11 So she went to get it, and he called to her and said, “Please get me a piece of bread in your hand.” 12 But she said, “As Yahweh your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die.”
Speak of Yahweh
13 Then Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son. 14 For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘The bowl of flour shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil be empty, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on the face of the earth.’” 15 So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become empty, according to the word of Yahweh which He spoke by the hand of Elijah.
Isaiah 61.1-11
1 The Spirit of Lord Yahweh is upon me Because Yahweh has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim release to captives And freedom to prisoners,
2 To proclaim the favorable year of Yahweh And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all who mourn,
3 To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a headdress instead of ashes, The oil of rejoicing instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of Yahweh, that He may show forth His beautiful glory.
4 Then they will rebuild the ancient waste places; They will raise up the former desolations; And they will make new the ruined cities, The desolations from generation to generation.
5 Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks, And foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.
6 But you will be called the priests of Yahweh; You will be spoken of as ministers of our God. You will eat the wealth of nations, And in their glories you will boast.
7 Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, And instead of dishonor they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land; Everlasting gladness will be theirs.
8 For I, Yahweh, love justice, I hate robbery in the burnt offering; And in truth I will give them their recompense And cut an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Then their seed will be known among the nations, And their offspring in the midst of the peoples. All who see them will recognize them Because they are the seed whom Yahweh has blessed.
10 I will rejoice greatly in Yahweh; My soul will rejoice in my God, For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a headdress, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its branches, And as a garden causes the things sown in it to branch out, So Lord Yahweh will cause righteousness and praise To branch out before all the nations.
Good morning everyone, please open your bibles to Luke chapter 4. The title of today’s message is,“ sent,”
We join the text in verse 16 Jesus has undergone his temptation he has been baptized. And now he is going to initiate his public ministry with a special message describing why He is doing what He is about to do.
Fifth in for 16 in his written, and he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and as was his custom, he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read. 17 in the school the Prophet Isaiah was handed to him. And you open the scroll and found a place where it was written, 18 “the spirit of the lord is a puny, because he anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim released to the captains, and recovery in sight to the line, to set three those who were oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the war.” 20 and he closed the scroll, the Vic talk to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue or fixed on him. And he began to say to them, “today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
Astonishing! In this first sermon that Jesus proclaims, he states emphatically that he is the messiah and that he has come to preach the gospel. Listen what he says. He is bringing the gospel to the poor he’s proclaiming released to those who were enslaved new site to those who are blind to free those who are pressed in proclaim cuts favor.
This is a good message! It’s no wonder how the first 22 concludes. It says
And all were speaking well of him and marveling at the creations words which were coming forth from his lips, and they were saying, is this not Joseph sent?”
And he said to them no doubt you will quote this proverb to a Physician, heal yourself! Whenever we heard to play set to premiere, do also here in your hometown as well.’”
It is at this point that the train slides off the rails. At this point has been nothing but good news that Jesus is going to reveal the state of their hearts. They love the sound of good news coming to them but that is all they want. They don’t want good news for others.
Any said truly I say to you, no profit is welcome in his hometown. “But I say to you in truth, there were many widows and Israel in the days of alleged, when the sky was shut out for three years and six months when I create family came over all the way, and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only two as arafat’s, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And there were many letters in Israel and the time of the lash of the prophet and none of them was cleansed, the only name in the Syrian.
Jesus reveals the state of their hearts. They loved the good news that was coming to them. They love to hear of redemption for them. They loved the sound of his words proclaiming their lease to their enslavement. The beautiful miracle of sight to those who are blind freedom from oppression, and yahoo is favor. These things are all wonderful in everybody is excited about that but start talking about redemption for foreigners? Now we have a problem. These two characters alliance to analyze Sha ministered at certain points to foreigners. Unclean people. Jesus says that they were sent by god to those who are unclean. Inverse 28 we see the people’s response.
It all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things, and they stood up and the world him out of the city, and led him to the ends of the cliff on which their city had been built, in order to throw can’t download the cliff. The passing through their midst he went on his way.
These people could not stand the idea of redemption for gentiles. They could not stand being compared to the unclean. But they were unclean just as unclean and in need of salvation has these gentiles. Today we’re going to be focusing on a light to. In one Kings chapter 17. While we are to take from this message is that Christ church has been empowered by his spirit to do what Christ has done. To preach the gospel to those who are perishing. The main point what we have to take from this message is that Christ’s church has been empowered by his spirit preach the gospel to those who are perishing. That is what Christ initiated his public ministry with and that is the heartbeat of our industry as well. Let’s reverse 18 again the spirit of the lord is a puny, because he and knowing take me to preach the gospel to look for. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captains, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who were practiced, to proclaim the favorable year of the war.”
Just as Christ came to unworthy and undeserving centers, he has sent a lie to two unworthy and undeserving sinners and he has sent his church to preach the gospel to those who are perishing. With open in for prayer.
Yahoo a god, you are creations and compassion and. Only you possess the mercy necessary to love those that are lovable. Those that are the billions and wicked to way we think you that you can then produced freedom for us. You reanimate us when we were dead in our trespasses and sense. You gave us the life. You have given us a nation. You’ve provided a combination. Helpless your quick as we seek to go where we have been sent. Helpless as we do when you have printed. It isn’t Christ’s name I pray in the
Terms be if you would too first Kings chapter 17 the first book of Kings chapter 17 a brief update of context the book of the Kings is a list of activity of Kings of Israel and Judah.
If you’re familiar with the book of first Kings you know that what takes place is a ever decreasing degeneracy in the leadership of Israel. After King David dies and psalm and builds the temple and worship hits its any tax then Israel slides into apostasy we are now several Kings later and it is about 100 years after psalm and. They have is now the king and if you look at the first 33 of chapter 16 just two vs. before we are going to start our text there is an assessment of a hound. They have also made the ascher up. Thus they have did more to provoke yahoo a, the god of Israel, the anger that all the Kings of Israel were before him. The drinking in Israel is in hiding the litter who according to the text has done more to provoke Yahweh a than any other previous king. This is a period of apostasy this is a period of wickedness and Elijah is going to burst onto the scene without any warning as a messenger of god.
Again the title of today’s message is, “sent.”
We’re going to pick up the text in chapter 17 1stone and I have broke in this passage which ranges from first one to vs. 16 in three chunks. But if you are completing an outline your lane will need to have three points. In the first point is sustained
Reverse one male alike to the tisch bite, who was of Pacific settlers of the iliad, said to a hat, “as deftly, the god of Israel, lives, before my stand, surely there shall be neither do Norway and these years except by my word then the word of Jaha we came to him, saying, go away from here in turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook to earth, which is east of the Jordan. And it will be the EU will drink of the Bork, and I have commanded the region’s to sustain you there.” So he went and did according to the word of your way, for you went in lived by the book tariff which is east of the Jordan. And the ravens were bringing and bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he would drink from the park. And I happened after a while to the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
In this first point Elijah confronts a have and then is whisked away by the lord east of the Jordan. If you can remember your geography of Israel you recall that the Mediterranean suites to oh like this the Sea of Galilee is a pure the dead sea is down here in the river Jordan is in between between the seas is the Corel just underneath tire and Sidon. The lord sends Elijah E east of the Jordan River in their Yahweh sustains Elijah. Elijah has prayed an incredible Pruner that there will be no moisture for 3 ½ years in Israel. This is a judgment against Israel for their wicked apostasy. They’re idolatry and but all were shipped Parnell under judgment.
If you recall that when we went through Deuteronomy we looked at some of the curses that would take place on Israel and famine and drought have listed in Deuteronomy chapter 28 which says and have the witches over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you, I are yacht way will make the reign of yearly and powder and dust; from have initial come down on you and tell you were destroyed. The people of Israel at this time are suffering there is no water and when there’s no water and 800 cultural community there is death. But Eliza the servant of yahoo way is sustained. He is sustained ironically by unclean birds, ravens. In Leviticus chapter 11 in these birds are called unclean and there was to be no association with them and yet the creator of the universe who was overall used ravens to sustain alleged. Clean or unclean all creation service you have a period I look to the because I was curious a Raven can carry ½ pounds so probably didn’t take too many ravens 2 feet Elijah day by day. Doggy Dogg forgets his servant and the days of this judgment but provided for him. Turner’s be back to late for a moment Luke chapter 12 th lube check to 12 1st 24 says something amazing
Jesus says inverse 24 consider the ravens for the neither so worried; they have no storeroom nor bar, and yet god feeds them; how much more valuable you are then the birds!
People are more important than animals. People are made in the image of god animals are not. God sees humanity in a special light. June or gentile all humans are made in the image of got. So in Christ’s prize there is no difference between a nun saved gentile it and saved to. Both need to use as Jesus.
We are more important than animals in god’s eyes. Elijah inner text is sustained by yahoo a over this time until the brook that he’s drinking from dries up. Now it is time for lying to to move their state
Vs. 8 to 12 hart our next section in a title that sent
Then the word of you when I came to him, saying, “or rise, go-to zero fat off, which belongs to Sidon, and remained there; behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.” Cause
Yahoo a who has been feeding Elijah for an indeterminate period of time during this famine with unclean birds and mystery meat has sent a lying to two a gentile town. If you remember or map yet the Sea of Galilee and the dead sea with a torn in between alike who has spent over here on the east of the Jordan he has to cross the Jordan and travel over to the coast north up along the Mediterranean Sea to the pit to the gentile area called of the nation sign to a town called their fifth where he is being sent to a particular gentile one.
Clean or unclean this woman is going to provide for Elijah Kandel idea is going to provide for her. Both are going to be used of god. The journey that Elijah is going to take is approximately 110 miles. The famine has been going on a long time, long enough that the Rivers are drying up. Over that 110 mile journey how many dead people starving people impoverished people diseased people did a licensee? Only god knows. What we do know is that the woman that yahoo a is sending Allies are too has also been touched by death she is a widow.
So he arose it went to Sarah Pfaff, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold a widow was their gathering sticks; any call to her and said, a “please get me a little water in a jar, then the drink.” So she went to get it, any call to her and said, “please get me a piece of bread in your hand.”
After 110 mile journey Elijah is hungry and thirsty. He has traversed the northern half of Israel and likely scene incredible death and starvation in the promised land, in the land that was supposed to flow with milk and honey. Gel way has sent a legend to pay in Sidon. But all’s domain an area where Jaha way is not worshiped. In the famine has touched cited as well.
Elijah must have looked pretty unique as the game into the town. Second team this chapter one tells us that he is a charity man and clothed with the weather girl. As he stumbles into account hungry and thirsty he reaches out to this widow and it is obvious to her that he is a worshiper of Yahweh. Thus 12
But she said, “as you’ve way your god lives, I have no bread, only a handful of float in the bowl and a little oil in the jar and behold, and gathering a few sticks and I may go in and prepare for me and my son between the event and I.”
Elijah has been sent to this and widow to be sustained by her and to provide for her when she does not know that. All that she knows is that this man from the south from a yes ways country is there asking for the last bit of food that she possesses. Look at the contrast and the subtle condemnation in her words as yet when you’re god lives, she knows that alleged is a worshiper of yahoo a and that fame and in judgment have touched them to end that they’re going to die there is a contrast between life and death. Life lies with you when death lives with her. Interestingly but all is not mentioned at all. This woman who was about to die speaks of yahoo a and not buckle. Now it is a lie just turn to sustain and provide for and he does it with the word of the lord
Vs. 13 to 16 of the third point that I don’t speak only of sustained sent speak penalizes said to her, will do not fear; bill, do as you’ve said, but make me a little bred cake from its first and bring out today, and afterward you may make one for herself and for your son.
If you’re in the 20th century we look it what aligns a has said and it is astonishing to us that a man would ever ask another person to be served first especially if all that is left is the tiniest bit of food. I chalk it up to several things. Middle Eastern hospitality allowed for people to make large requests, also, Elijah is likely just as starved if not more then this lady, and finely and most importantly the Lange knows that this woman has been commanded to sustain him and so he has no problem asking this huge requests from her.
Inverse 14 he speaks of the aqueduct for thus says enough way, the daughter of Israel,’the bowl a flower shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil be N.D., until the day that when he sends rain on the face of the earth.’”
Elijah speaks of yahoo a hamlet yachts way has said. Elijah has been sent from yahoo way to this woman to preserve for. She is a gentile, she is unclean, according to Judaism she is the vial and unworthy yahoo’s favor. She is a pagan, a wicked evil eye ballot are. She is a ball or Shakur. And yet you halfway has sent a light show to her is that not astonishing!?
That the lord has sent Elijah to preserve and sustain this woman. To cultivate the very beginnings of her faith. In god’s eyes there is little difference between two and gentile, all have sent had fallen short of the Glory of god. A Yahweh makes a promise through Elijah that the Food Supply will not be extinguished until reading returns. We know what this widow does not know there’s gonna be 3 ½ years until rain returns. This tiny scrap of flour and a few ounces of oil is going to sustain not only the widow but also Elijah and her son until raid returns.
First 15 so she went and did according to the word of a line chart and she and he and for household eight for many days double flower was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become M.D., but according to the word of the aqueduct which he spoke by the hand of Elijah.
Here is a principle gaffe way meets needs both physical and spiritual. We look at look chapter 12 a few moments ago where Jesus was telling the Jews not to be anxious over food he says later on in that passage what the focus needs to be seeking a god’s kingdom and food and shelter and clothing will be given to you. The focus needs to be on god’s kingdom.
Is it?
Use the expansion of god’s kingdom of your priority? God miraculously provided for all of a lie just needs as well as this widow and her son. He preserve the and protect the in the midst of a 3 ½ year drought. So that her faith could grow. Jesus said in Luke chapter four in our introduction that Allies it could’ve been sent to anyone but he was not sent to the Israelites who were under judgment for the wrong cost to see but Allies it was sent to one who was unclean, undesirable, labeled as we could and undeserving.
Who is unclean? In our context who is undesirable, who is undeserving? I have had opportunity over this last week to hear from several in the body to have been dealing with unbelievers. The consensus is that they are irritating, than knowing, they are bothersome. They do not do what is right. They take advantage. They shout folder obscenities. They abuse. They trespass. They do not serve Jesus and they are immoral. Over the last week I have spoken to many of you and your assessment is correct.
The complaints are legitimate. What is interesting to me is that the focus is on the behavior of these individuals that are causing so many problems. There have been requests for counseling for advice which is good. When confronted with the problem is good to ask for council for wisdom. I would encourage us not to get the car in front of the horse.
Our main task, at commission is not to improve moral behavior in this society weep along to our main task is to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and everything else that we meet will be provided. Let me say that again seek first god’s kingdom and everything that is needed will be provided. Let me underscore that again. You’re number one priority is not to change people’s behavior. It is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hells and Alpha is open wide swallowing people hole and they’re rushing toward it. You possess the good news a forgiveness of cents. Do not get distracted as he this act like events. Your commission is to take the good news and you have believed and share it. Briefly let’s go through some principles that married into the main point of the message
The main point of this message is that Christ church has been empowered by his spirit to preach the gospel to those who are perishing. That is what Christ did it looked after four that is what Elijah did in first Kings chapter 70 they took the good news to those who are undeserving. That is our job as well up here are three takeaways
Christians have been sustained and empowered by a gods holy spirit to do the work that he is called us to do. To. We have been sent three. We must speak of yacht way. We have been sustained we have been sent we must speak. What are we to speak of we are to speak the gospel. A now there seems to be some confusion here on what the gospel hymns and so I will remind us again that the gospel is found very succinctly in first Corinthians chapter 15 vs. 336 all cause and what you write that down or dog year that passage in your bible you must know that’s and the implications of what is involved.
The gospel is not your testimony. The gospel is not inviting selling to church. The gospel is not handing someone a bible. These things are not sharing the gospel.
This is the gospel in first Corinthians chapter 15 it says that she’s a slave to perfectly under the laws under SP instituted by the period bases died on the cross suffering the wrath of god again said. Jesus was buried in fulfillment of scripture. Jesus was raised by god proving what he had told his disciples was true. Jesus was seen by many witnesses they also attested to the legitimacy of his claims.
So what for those that knoll can believe in Jesus death in sin or conquered enemies they will not face the wrath of god because Christ’s already has on their behalf. Those that truly believe Airborne again their life has made you they’re not to say they are changed they’re born again into the family of talent and powered by his spirit for good works that’s what a fees since 210 tells us Christian you lost preach the gospel in order to earnhardt’s back to the lord you have been sent you have received a commission. Do not be caught up with Powell in knowing your neighbors and friends are due not be bothered when he vents act like events. Your main task is not to ignore them your main task is not to correct their behavior and make them moral.
Your main task is to tell these people the truth about Jesus taught has placed you there to tell the truth in closing if truth be if you would to join chapter four of the new flick of his text several times and look at the end of john chapter four Jesus has ministered to another half of lovable unlikely person a woman who has had multiple husbands, a woman who is a Samaritan, and unclean undeserving woman. Jesus goes to her after he had talks to the woman. His disciples they come back on the scene UCD had been going into the city to buy Jesus to recruit well Jesus had been visiting with this woman or enjoying the Texan first 31 of john Chopra four. Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying rabbi each. But he said to them, I Food to eat the united old so the cycles are saying to one another, “has anyone brought him anything to eat?” Jesus said to the money food is to do the will of him he said he had to finish his work D not say, there yet for months and then comes the harvest? Behold icq, will lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are widely for harvest.
Use a question that I want us to consider is Jesus saying that there are people millions and millions of people ready willing to convert to Christianity. I’m not so sure. The following vs. Seem to indicate that the harvest is for those their faithful. The bounty, the award, is for those that are faithfully obeying the hot Wei. Looking verse 36 years and now he who greets is receiving wages is gathering fruit for life the turtle; salehi who sells a heater REITs may rejoice together for in this case the same is true, “once those and other REITs.” I say to read after which if not labored; others have labored in you’ve entered into their labor.”
It seems to many that as we look on our context and do not see many jumping at the opportunity to lay down their life are Christ’s and a look at the Biblical texts and I see many turning away from Christ’s it seems to me that this text which habitually has been referred to the indicate how plentiful the harvest is has been misdirected. The first 36 talks about the worker receiving wages and gathering fruit for life you turn on. The faithful worker is rewarded is the last and is going to read Joyce any turn of the period I want to leave you with a parting thought. We are to go to the unlovable, to the unloving, to the untied to those that are immoral, saying that riddled and we are to enter into the harvest the harvest is for those that are faithful the bounty is for those who go into the hardness yacht way we’ll take care of the people that we minister to our job is to kill and be faithful.
I have a question to ask you. Which of your neighbors have you told a gospel to? Which of your neighbors are going to hell. Which of your neighbors have already gone to hell apart from Christ’s the par from your administrating administering the gospel. The time is now to be faithful to go where we have been sent so that we might be classed. You tell me I can’t they will listen to don’t know what to say they don’t know what to do here from Luke chapter six. The beholder send you out the sheep in the midst of walls so betrayed a serpent’s an innocent stops but beware of man for the will to live your teeth courts and clogging their synagogues the weaver we brought for coverage and Kings for my sake as a testimony to them into the gentiles but when the delivery will ever do not worry about how or what you are too safe will be given to you in that hour what you want to say for is not you can speak at the spirit of your faulty speaks in your lookout for you will be headed by all because of my name as the one you as directly at the same Christian your call to know the gospel to understand it to communicate it can leave the results up to the lord if you’ve been unfaithful up into this point in your life with this commission now is the time, talk to me after the service if you have questions about how to do this the schools and for
