Speaker: Massoud Sadeghi

Date: January 16, 2022

Pastors Massoud and Sarah Sadeghi were born and raised in Iran. In their growing up, they had learned of God as being the most holy, but yet as an untouchable, impersonal, and unreachable God. As every nominal Muslim, they lived their lives without any hope of salvation and constantly tried to find a way to please God, with the hope of maybe doing enough good deeds in His sight so that they may gain His approval and be found worthy enough just to enter heaven. It wasn’t until early 1995 (long after they had moved to the United States to receive higher educations), that they were reached with the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ. At that occurrence, their lives took a completely different direction; seeing the picture of God completely different than the one they had known previously. Every book, every chapter, every line, and every word in the Bible was a world of joy and full of life to them. Now seeing God as a loving Father like it is revealed in the story of the Prodigal Son, and sensing the deep joy and peace flowing like a river from the Words of Jesus like those recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me; For I am gentle and lowly in heart”) quenched the life-long thirst of their souls. By sharing these two scriptures, they have witnessed to many Muslim hearts and have seen many touched and melted by seeing a true picture of God as a loving Father. They have seen many Muslim hearts taste the real peace that only Jesus can give.
