Are the people who leave the comforts of home and family the only ones who suffer for the sake of The World Mission?   What about those who stay?  What about Andrew Fuller? A theologian who was willing to call men and women to repentance in a day when it was theologically uncouth.  A pastor who was committed to cling to the truth of God’s word even when his congregation rejected it.  A missionary so committed to the cause of Christ among the unreached that he would work himself to death mobilizing the church to support those who traveled abroad.  (more…)

The Gospels tell us that King Jesus invaded this present evil age with the good news of the kingdom. But we still see the dreadful effects of sin. Young girls get abortions. Fathers abandon their families. In Mark 4:1-20, Pastor David explains that Christ has dealt a mortal wound to sin, but a battle still rages. In a sinful world, it looks like a man telling a depressed co-worker that Jesus is the only way to peace. And it looks like a high school girl telling her friend that children are a blessing from God. Contrary to the wisdom of this world, a revolution looks like a farmer sowing seeds and waiting for the harvest. Listen as Pastor David answers the question, “Is This Really a Revolution?”  (From the sermon series, Join The Revolution: Living For Jesus at the End of the Age - Parables In Mark.)

The thought of confronting people with the gospel might unsettle you. After all, your friends, neighbors and co-workers are just as smart as you are. Some would say that telling people to change their religious beliefs is just arrogant. Sadly, this sentiment overlooks the wisdom of God in Christ. In Proverbs 30:1-4, Pastor David shows how the humility of silence looks more like pride when we consider the words of a crucified and risen Savior. Listen as Pastor David preaches on “False Humility, Wisdom, and the Spread of the Gospel.”
