We Are Called to Go

Chuck Warnock preached this sermon on 8 July 2007. Here are a few notes... The 72 disciples were sent out to help prepare the way for Jesus.

1. We are called to go together - in pairs - with a corroborating testimony, another instance of Christian community.

2. We are called to go where Jesus is going - not where He has been. Go to the place where Jesus will show up; the advance party with the gospel. Similar to Blackaby's statement about finding out what God is doing and joining Him there.

3. We are called to go to demonstrate the kingdom - the kingdom of God is near. They were to heal first and then tell what they knew.

4. We are called to go in the midst of opposition and indifference - why did people not listen to this wonderful message? Perhaps they were too busy or too content.

5. We are called to go in God's power - even the demons submitted in Jesus' name. Greater power than this would be seen, Jesus has the power to redeem and save.

6. We are called to go into the harvest - not just care for the barn.
