This morning I preached at First Baptist Church on Luke 9:1-2, "1When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick."
I explained that:
Jesus has commissioned believers to bring The Kingdom of God to earth. Every believer has the ability and responsibility to live from heaven to earth. Christianity was never intended to be a spectator sport, rather it is to be a active lifestyle based on a intimate relationship with the one who rules from heaven. As people turn their eyes and ears toward the ways of heaven they can recognize areas on earth that need to be transformed. Whether a child or a senior citizen or anywhere in age between, the job of the follower of Jesus is to bring as much of Jesus' Kingdom into their present circumstances as possible.
