From Hearing to Proclaiming: Jesus Guarantees His Church Will Testify | John 16 Sermon
What if the prairie church you call home was never meant to be a safe country chapel but a lighthouse whose beam reaches far beyond the crop fields? Memorial Day visitors and a story about John Atrops reopen our congregation’s founding vision and Jesus’ promise that His Spirit makes witnesses. Our pioneers built the sanctuary first because worship fuels mission; now it is our turn to shine. Hear why hiding the lamp is not an option, how “Come and see, go and tell.” captures our double calling, and what simple steps keep the light blazing.
