St. Paul’s Worship Services, July 14 & 15, 2024
Jul 12th, 2024 | By: Pastor Bode
As believers carry out gospel ministry, encouraging others to turn to Christ in repentance…people might push back. “What gives you the right?” Maybe we ask that question ourselves. “I’m far from perfect. So…what gives me the right to talk about things like sin?” This week we are given the answer to that question. “Jesus said so.” When our God calls us to do ministry…he also gives us authority. In calling us to ministry, God isn’t asking us to share our advice or our opinion or even our values. We are sharing God’s own authoritative Word. Gospel ministry is conducted by believers but with God’s own authority behind the effort. This is meaningful ministry as Jesus gives instructions for disciples. Our sermon today comes from Matthew 9-10.
