Outbreak 2020 – Sermon One – We Flattened the Curve, and That’s Not a Good Thing.
Introduction - flatten
Acts 2:46-47 ESV And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, (47) praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
Acts 5:14 ESV And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,
Acts 6:7 ESV And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
Acts 9:31 ESV So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.
Acts 11:21 ESV And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
Acts 11:24 ESV for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.
Acts 16:5 ESV So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.
The churches increased in number daily…Can you imagine what would happen if CWO grew in numbers daily? How long until this beautiful building wouldn’t be big enough? A couple weeks? A month?And not just CWO, but what if every Bible believing Gospel teaching church grew in numbers daily? How long until the everyone in the world had a chance to hear and receive the Gospel?This is what happened directly after the ascension of Christ.The helper came, the Holy Spirit, came and there was a major outbreak of Christianity.There was a GLOBAL outbreak, it was spreading and spreading fast!Now the question the modern church should be asking itself is this: if the churches of God where adding to their numbers daily and the gospel was spreading quickly and globally… and this all started some 2000 years ago… then why isn’t the whole of earth saved by now?!Why is sin just as present and prevalent now as it was back then?Why are there still unreached tribes and people groups?WHAT HAPPENED?I will tell you what happened… the Enemy “flattened the curve”.That’s right, I will say it again… there was a global outbreak of faith across the world, and the devil didn’t want it to happen, the world didn’t want it to happen, our flesh didn’t want it to happen… so they flattened the curve.How? Well all the enemy had to do was convince the church to follow some very simple guidelines in the name of “Loving your neighbor”. Maybe these guidelines sound familiar…
Cover your mouth!Social Distance!Self-Quarantine!And whatever you do, don’t travel, especially not internationally!Do these talking points sound familiar to y’all? This is, at least according to the world, how you stop the spread of a global outbreak.This year the theme of the youth conference is Outbreak 2020, and it is my goal to make this youth as contagious as possible, amen?!I want them to spread the gospel faster than Menards sold out to the left!I want them to spread the gospel more often then Dr. Fauci changes his medical advice.I want them to spread the gospel more effectively then the media spreads fear and anger.I want these youth to be the ones that change society so much that the world has to prepare itself for a “new-normal”.A normal where abortion clinics are bankrupt.A normal where youth group means waring for Christ not just playing games and meeting girls.A normal where high school cafeterias look more like a church gathering than an eating ...
