Friends,
The themes of modern sermons range from moral living to family relationships to physical health to financial prosperity to emotional well-being to politics to ... I think you get the idea. When Jesus sent out His twelve disciples, though, they went with a simple, straightforward message.
So they went out and preached that people should repent.
Mark 6:12 [NKJV]
Is this so complicated?
Is it so difficult to stay "on message"?
During the disciples' travels, other great blessings were evidenced: the sick were healed, demons were cast out. But the message was simple: Repent. We've drifted away from this for reasons too numerous to list here. But we can stop drifting, can't we? We can refocus our words and our actions to preach a simple, clear message to a world that desperately needs to hear it.
Christ has sent you and me out to give this message. Will you do as He commanded?
Be encouraged, Jose
