1 Samuel 30
This week marks a significant moment as we send off Vinnie and Meghan to Kosovo, where they will serve as missionaries, answering God's call on their lives. This message, delivered during Vinnie's farewell service, explores the biblical mandate for every believer to engage in God's ongoing rescue mission.
Drawing inspiration from David's actions in 1 Samuel 30, we are challenged to weep for lost souls, fostering a genuine brokenness for those who have yet to encounter Christ. The sermon urges us to earnestly inquire of the Lord, asking, "Shall I go?", and underscores the overwhelming biblical command to "go" into all the world, rather than passively "stay."
Vinnie shares his powerful testimony of spiritual growth and transformation within the church, highlighting how God used this community to shape him and enable him to witness numerous salvations. He emphasizes that the abundant blessings received are not meant to be hoarded but must be actively spread to a lost and dying world.
The message confronts us with the spiritual reality that we are either "spoiling the world" for Christ or allowing ourselves to be "spoiled" by its influences, calling us to pursue spiritual fruitfulness with urgency. This is a profound call to action, reminding us that God promises a bountiful harvest for those who obediently step out in faith, and that all who contribute to the mission, whether on the front lines or through faithful support, will share equally in the eternal victory.
Join us in reflecting on the profound urgency of the Great Commission and discerning our unique role in God's eternal purpose.
