1 Peter 4:7
After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

Rev. Clem Ferris emphasizes the unwavering sovereignty of God and the mission of spreading the gospel globally. He starts by reminding believers that God's authority surpasses any earthly power, citing examples like Isaiah 6, where Isaiah saw the Lord on a throne during a national crisis. This theme continues as Pastor Ferris references Acts 1, where Jesus redirects His disciples from a nationalistic focus to a global mission, stressing that true power comes from the Holy Spirit, not political or earthly sources. He urges believers to remain grounded in faith and embrace their role as Spirit-empowered witnesses. Ferris highlights the shift from relying on human or ministerial strength to trusting solely in God, sharing personal lessons where God tested his trust. He calls this generation uniquely positioned due to technological advances to fulfill the Great Commission with unprecedented reach. He concludes by challenging listeners to align their will with God's and engage in the global mission with trust and readiness, reinforcing that God's provision and power will accompany them.
Rev. Clem Ferris emphasizes that spiritual oppression transcends specific groups, rooted in the devil's overarching aim of fostering division and subjugation. Jesus' healing of the blind man symbolizes progressive spiritual sight, illustrating how believers can attain clear perception through stages of divine intervention. Rev. Ferris discusses how Jesus' ministry challenged traditional cultural and familial norms, urging followers to shift their focus from past attachments and ingrained patterns to the kingdom's transformative standards. True discipleship requires prioritizing Christ's lordship over personal and cultural ties, as seen in the biblical encounters where Jesus dissuades potential followers from clinging to past obligations and comforts. Rev. Ferris reflects on his own journey, recounting the significant sacrifices made to follow God's calling and breaking free from conventional familial expectations to fully embrace kingdom values and purpose.
In his sermon, Pastor Tom Brazell emphasizes the essence of true worship as a total, unconditional surrender to God. He recounts personal experiences, including his call to serve as a missionary in challenging environments like Kinshasa and Bukavu, illustrating the depth of commitment that true worship requires. Drawing from biblical examples—Moses' encounter with God, Samuel's readiness to listen, and Isaiah's willingness to go without conditions— Pastor Tom underscores the importance of saying “yes” to God without hesitation, regardless of uncertainties or personal ambitions. He challenges believers to present themselves as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1), willing to be used for any purpose, whether grand or mundane, trusting that God's plan is the best. This is a message that will expand your horizon!

Ryan Karp of Chosen People Ministries and Mark Barilla, who serve as our church's missionaries to Cameroon.
In this sermon, Missionary to Niger, Jonathan Bowden emphasizes the importance of surrendering fully to God and not being distracted by worldly temptations such as pornography, sexual immorality, and other distractions that pull us away from our spiritual purpose. He highlights the increasing challenges young people face, particularly in Niger, where even children as young as 10 are becoming addicted to pornography due to easy access to smartphones. Brother Bowden calls on the church to stand boldly in their faith and not be swayed by cultural pressures. He encourages our students to live a crucified life as described in Galatians 2:20, putting their identity in Christ and focusing on building God's kingdom rather than indulging in personal desires. This is a message that will renew your mind!
There was no sermon today due to a special Missions Emphasis program.
With a Missions Emphasis in worship, we consider how God guides us. In this brief passage, there are four ways God leads Paul and his companions. And guidance comes to believers because God cares how we spend our lives and has a mission field for each of us.
"After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized." Acts 18:1-8
