DAD'S DAILY BREAD

Sermon notes Pastor Kobe Orr

13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” Rom 10:13–15

Telling other people about what Jesus has done for you should be the most important thing in your life! What could ever be any more important. Do you really believe that? Stop being selfish and lazy and do work!!! Every Christian is called to reach the nations for Jesus! vs.13 Everyone who calls is saved. This needs to matter! Matt 28:18-19 First and most important commandment! Go and make disciples! There is only 1 way to heaven. Don’t be selfish and take that life saving knowledge to the grave. You could be someone’s only access to Jesus. 45% of people haven’t heard the name of Jesus. John 14:6 If you have truly been saved you should want to share it with the lost! Through our obedience His kingdom is expanded!

Some are called to go. vs.14-15 Do not let your desire to be comfortable ruin your opportunity to spread the kingdom of God. God calls those who are inadequate so that His power and His glory can be put on full display. Do not trust yourself and your feelings. Only rely on the truth that comes from God’s word. Be willing to go because of what God has done and be obedient to your calling. It has nothing to do with my abilities but has everything to do with me being willing to obey. Could this be me? What is God’s plan?

Some are called to send. vs.14-15 Give your time and be devoted to prayer. Set an alarm and pray everyday like it’s a cash deposit in the bank of Jesus!! Most powerful weapon we have! Don’t forget about the power that comes from the Holy Spirit with prayer! Confess we need Him. Ask boldly! Missionaries are regular people too. By faithfully praying we are holding the rope for them as they give their lives in service to the Lord. Another way to give is with financial support. Help missionaries pay their bills and eliminate worldly problems so they can focus on doing the Lord’s work and helping the Lord’s Will be done! Matt 6:21 Give so that our hearts will be changed. Give to break the bondage that money can have on your very being. Don’t let it have power over you! You cannot serve 2 masters! Giving to missions should be over and above your 10% tithe. How am I to send? What is my plan to give? What is my plan to pray? Matt 11:28 John 20:21 Rev 7 All are called to participate and at its core it is 100% an issue of obedience! Get off your butt and tell someone about Jesus right now!

APPLICATION:

Look for opportunities to share the Gospel. Stay in the Word. Stay connected to the power source. Think and pray about going overseas! I am envious of people that are blessed to tell others about Jesus for a living! I pray I find that some day somehow… Pray pray pray

IN HIS NAME
