Matthew 4:12-17 Don’t give up the fightJesus is beginning his ministry- and John has been put in prison for preaching. Jesus leaves for Galilee, and ends up in Capernaum, which was a fulfillment of Isaiah 9. Then Jesus starts his ministry preaching repentance. We preach repentance almost every week. We’ll do it again. Not this week- This week I want to look at this beginning of Jesus mission as a means for us to be encourage to stay on missionWe’re on mission here at FVC. God has placed each and every one of us strategically to be here for such a time as this. I’ve complained about being in the PNW in the pulpit and online I apologize. I’m not going to complain about it anymore, and if I do, please correct meThere are people here that need Jesus and we are not going to give up the fight. If all the Christian churches leave Washington- its not just that the state will fail, but many people will not make it to heaven, and that should concern all of us. God needs more gloryThink about Jesus- he had to do what he came to do to benefit all of us- and we cant give up
Stay in the fight- Stay on mission - Fight
Folks- we are on mission- We must live out Matt 28:19. We cannot be pulled in another direction based on what the world is doing, or what is happening around us. Mission must goIn the beginning of this story- we see what happens- John goes to prison ostensibly for preaching repentance. It doesn’t say- but we can assume- Jesus continues his missionWhat happened to John wasn’t going to keep Jesus from doing his mission. He wasn’t givin upJesus is demonstrating here- Just because someone goes to prison for what you’re about to do- doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do it. John preaches repentance- prison- Jesus- goes out and preaches repentance. We, as people of God- cannot be crippled by fear, because something bad happened to someone- and use that as an excuse or reason, why we cant do what we are supposed to doWho remembers 911? Devastating. I was on mission in Egypt- It continued- 2 Tim 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.This is a true scripture! This is part of why Jesus came- to Heb2:15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.When Jesus came, he walked without fear, to empower us to walk without fear- John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Do you believe that? Or have you given yourself over to fear? - FightI get it- this is a interesting time to live in- and I gave myself over to fear for a while back in the spring- but then I came to my senses- even if It means that I die, I’m not going to let a virus keep me from performing my mission- I’m just not. If Covid kills me- it will be because God wants to bring me home, and I can’t hide from it in my home. The savior I served said things to the men who were sent out to preach things like- Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.I get it! Fear is REAL- Fear of death is REAL. We’ve all probably feared at times- EVEN DAVID- Ps 55:4 My heart is severely pained within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.But just because you are afraid, and death is real- doesn’t mean you give up. it just doesntThe psalmist- Psalm 89:48 What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave?
