Beautiful Feet Take It To The Streets
What is “it”? “It” is the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! The only message with the power to resurrect! The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. (Romans 1:6) It is based in the fact that Jesus Christ suffered for our sin on the cross, died, was buried and rose again the third day according to the scripture. The reality of Jesus Christ’s resurrection is the only hope for humanity to overcome the grave! God is not willing that anyone anywhere spend eternity separated from Him (2 Peter 3:9). However the burden of going does rest upon us!
Romans 10:13-15
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
What a blessing it was to take the gospel to the streets of Cass County the past Labor Day weekend. I want to thank God and the saints of HBF for engaging our community in a very real and tangible way. I cannot think of a better way to celebrate a fabulous fifth Labor Day weekend than to put our feet into action for our Lord.
Regardless of whether you went out or you stayed behind to pray, it is beautiful when the church body makes Christ’s priorities our priorities. May HBF have beautiful feet to display our faith! I trust that this event was not the climax of HBF’s collective outreach to our Jerusalem but the beginning of a sustained awareness of the need to reach our Jerusalem as well as Judea and the uttermost Parts of the Earth!
It was awesome to watch the congregation as a whole overcome fear and place their faith in the Word of God as they went forward into the communities of Cass County. As our Lord opened doors of utterance He provided the boldness necessary preach the gospel as we ought. We enjoyed a great time of celebration Sunday evening as we heard testimony after testimony of seeds planted, watered and one soul harvested. We praise God for giving the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6). As a whole the experience matched the response of those the apostle Paul ministered to in Athens; some mocked, some will hear the gospel again and others clave to the gospel (Acts 17:34). As we concluded our time Sunday I reminded the congregation that the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is worthy to be preached even if no one receives it! Fortunately, we praise the Lord that we found many open doors in the Cass County community.
For the disciple of Jesus Christ, the opportunity to share your faith is as available as our willingness to do it. If we are willing God will open doors with people who not only need to hear the gospel but want to hear the gospel. If you are interested in stretching your faith beyond your comfort zone, I encourage you to ask the person discipiling you to take you to the streets! It will change your life and the lives of those who hear you. If you would like training or more opportunity to share the simple plan of salvation with someone you love please contact your disciple, one of our pastors or Rick King and we will certainly help you take the first steps in accomplishing the mission of God in the power of God.
