Lessons from the 72: Embracing Your Mission | Pastor Will Hawk | June 9th, 2024


Listen Later

What if ordinary people could perform extraordinary acts of faith? Join us as we recount the mission of the 72 individuals sent out by Jesus in Luke 10, watching them return full of joy and awe that even demons obeyed them in Jesus' name. We celebrate their achievements but also explore Jesus' deeper message: the ultimate joy of salvation. This episode is packed with insights, comparing Jesus' instructions to the 72 with those given to the 12 apostles, and how those principles of faith, reliance on God, and mission focus resonate with us today.

Evangelism isn't just for the experts—it's a calling for everyone. We delve into the pressing issue of the shortage of laborers in the field of evangelism, emphasizing that the problem isn't a lack of potential converts but a scarcity of committed individuals ready to step up. Through inspiring anecdotes, we challenge the notion that only the highly trained can share the gospel effectively. We encourage you to embrace your calling, join evangelism classes, and prepare yourself for the spiritual harvest waiting to be gathered.

Lastly, we'll reflect on the 'woes' pronounced by Jesus on the cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, and the enduring consequences they faced for not heeding His message. Using Google Earth, we visually compare their ancient ruins to their past significance, underscoring the lasting impact of Jesus' words. We then turn to the joy of salvation and humility, emphasizing how childlike faith reveals divine truths. Together, we'll celebrate the hope found in the gospel message, reminding every believer that in God's eyes, there are no junior varsity Christians.
