Welcome to Temple Baptist Church this morning! I praise the Lord that you have come to worship God in song and to have your faith increased by hearing the Word of God in the sermon. Today we have a dear couple named Kris and Rose Blumer who are missionaries in Peru.
All Christians are called to be a missionary. A missionary is commissioned by the Lord to make disciples, followers of Christ. Jesus commands all Christians to share the Gospel, the message of His death and resurrection that conquered the penalty and power of sin.
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" Matthew 28:19-20
A Christian missionary is an ambassador of Christ. Each one must be yielded to the Lord, loving Him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. Specifically, a missionary is one whom God sends through the support of the Church to the unreached. All Christians, however, are called to be missionaries of the Gospel. The Lord works through them to rescue the lost. What greater call can one answer? Who will God put in your path this week with whom you can share the good news of the Gospel?
