The sermon begins with the Missionary emphasizing the importance of missions and challenging the congregation to personally get involved. Drawing from Matthew chapter 9, he highlights Jesus' compassion for the multitudes who are like sheep without a shepherd. The pastor underscores that Christ's desire is not only for people to be saved but also for them to connect with a local church and pastor. He encourages the congregation to reflect on their own spiritual growth and the role their local church and pastor have played in it. The pastor also stresses the need to see and interact with the people we are called to reach, rather than being solely focused on tasks and accomplishments.
